Hello there, I am trying to write a custom directive in akka http for something like authorize (with a bit of difference from what's available OOTB).
object AuthenticationUtils { def generateUserRequest(implicit system: ActorSystem, executionContext: ExecutionContext): Directive1[UserRequest] = { optionalHeaderValueByName("Authorization").flatMap { case Some(tokenValue) if Token.isValidTokenHeader(tokenValue) => val token = Token.fromHeader(tokenValue).get val selection = system.actorSelection( "myauthenticator-actor-selection-here") implicit val timeout: Timeout = Timeout(2 minutes) //may be implicit timeout? val future = (selection ? RedisTokenActor.GenerateUserRequest(token )).mapTo[GenerateUserRequestResponse] .map { r => r.optUserRequest} /*onSuccess(future) { //this does not work. case Some(ur) => provide(ur) case _ => reject(AuthorizationFailedRejection) }*/ val res = Await.result(future, timeout.duration) //todo: make this async. res match { case Some(ur) => provide(ur) case _ => reject(AuthorizationFailedRejection) } case _ => reject(AuthorizationFailedRejection) } } } My question is that, how do I async the execution of the `future` within a directive? When I use onSuccess, the return objects are not compatible. Please advice on how do I resolve this. When I use it synchronously, the above code works as desired.
