RouterMiddleware

public protocol RouterMiddleware

Defines the protocol which all Kitura compliant middleware must implement.

Middleware are class or struct based request handlers. They are often generic in nature and not tied to a specific request.

  • Handle an incoming HTTP request.

    Declaration

    Swift

    func handle(request: RouterRequest, response: RouterResponse, next: @escaping () -> Void) throws

    Parameters

    request

    The RouterRequest object used to work with the incoming HTTP request.

    response
