Plugin which injects POST routes

[svoop]

Hiya

I'm playing around with Roda plugins, however, I'm not sure what's the recommended way to implement the following simple case: a plugin which injects POST routes.

Given the following plugin:

class Roda
  module RodaPlugins
    module GithubWebhook
      module RequestMethods

        def github_webhook
          'been there'
        end

      end
    end

    register_plugin :github_webhook, GithubWebhook
  end
end

Used in an app like so:

plugin :github_webhook

route do |r|
  r.github_webhook
end

With this in place GET /github_webhook responds with "been there".

How can I implement the same for a route such as POST /github/webhook?

(Since the webhook is automatically configured upstream, the route /github/webhook is mandatory. I'm looking for a way to add the POST /github/webhook route to the Roda app with minimal code added to the application.rb while still doing things the Roda way.)

Thanks a lot for your help!

The r local variable is the request object that is also available via the request method. So you can do:

def github_webhook
  request.post "github/webhook" do
    'been there'
  end
end

That'd be really awesome, but it's not available – for starters testing with GET:

class Roda
  module RodaPlugins
    module GithubWebhook
      module RequestMethods

        def github_webhook
          request.get "github/webhook" do
            'been there'
          end
        end

      end
    end

    register_plugin :github_webhook, GithubWebhook
  end
end

This raises the following error on line 7 above:

undefined local variable or method `request' for #<Application::RodaRequest GET /github/webhook> (NameError)

Apparently, there's still a bit missing.

Since you are in RequestMethods, the receiver is the request. So you can do:

        def github_webhook
          get "github/webhook" do
            'been there'
          end
        end

Awesome, really neat and concise, thanks a bunch @jeremyevans and @janko !
