Hi,
I think that Record framework may play a relevant role in processing
REST requests. I mean picture the following model:
class MyRecord extends Record[MyRecord] {
def meta = MyRecordMeta
object firstName extends StringField(this, "John")
object lastName extends StringField(this, "Doe")
}
object MyRecordMeta extends MyRecord with MetaRecord[MyRecord] {
override def mutable_? = false
}
In boot we could say something like:
MyRecordMeta.dispatch.append {
case (Req("create" :: "person" :: Nil, _, _), rec) =>
//rec is the record constructed by this meta record based on the
REST QS parameters.
val validationResult = MyRecordMeta.validate(rec)
...
// return a Box[LiftResponse]
}
// The http Request would look something like: http//<host>/create/
person?firstName=Isaac&lastName=Newton
As you can see it is very similar with DispatchPF, in fact under the
hood it will just register a DispatchPF construct the record for us
and we can use the actual information in a type safe manner.
I could add this support soon enough but first I'd like to know if you
think this would be helpful.
Br's,
Marius
