Instance Method Summary

• #call(env) ⇒ Array

  Execute application logic.

Instance Method Details

#call(env) ⇒ Array

Execute application logic. It implements the Rack protocol.

The request params are passed as an argument to the ‘#call` method.

If routed with Lotus::Router, it extracts the relevant bits from the Rack ‘env` (eg the requested `:id`).

Otherwise everything it’s passed as it is: the full Rack ‘env` in production, and the given `Hash` for unit tests. See the examples below.

Application developers are forced to implement this method in their actions.

Examples:

with Lotus::Router

require 'lotus/controller'

 class Show
   include Lotus::Action

   def call(params)
     # ...
     puts params # => { id: 23 } extracted from Rack env
   end
 end

Standalone

require 'lotus/controller'

class Show
  include Lotus::Action

  def call(params)
    # ...
    puts params
      # => { :"rack.version"=>[1, 2],
      #      :"rack.input"=>#<StringIO:0x007fa563463948>, ... }
  end
end

Unit Testing

require 'lotus/controller'

class Show
  include Lotus::Action

  def call(params)
    # ...
    puts params # => { id: 23, key: 'value' } passed as it is from testing
  end
end

action   = Show.new
response = action.call({ id: 23, key: 'value' })

Parameters:

• env (Hash) —

  the full Rack env or the params. This value may vary, see the examples below.

Returns:

• (Array) —

  a serialized Rack response (eg. ‘[200, {}, [“Hi!”]]`)
