Directives
==========
A directive is a wrapper for a route or a list of alternative routes that adds one or more of the following
functionality to its nested route(s):
* it filters the request and lets only matching requests pass (e.g. the `get` directive lets only GET-requests pass)
* it modifies the request or the ``RequestContext`` (e.g. the `path` directives filters on the unmatched path and then
passes an updated ``RequestContext`` unmatched path)
* it modifies the response coming out of the nested route
akka-http provides a set of predefined directives for various tasks. You can access them by either extending from
``akka.http.javadsl.server.AllDirectives`` or by importing them statically with
``import static akka.http.javadsl.server.Directives.*;``.
These classes of directives are currently defined:
BasicDirectives
Contains methods to create routes that complete with a static values or allow specifying :ref:`handlers-java` to
process a request.
CacheConditionDirectives
Contains a single directive ``conditional`` that wraps its inner route with support for Conditional Requests as defined
by `RFC 7234`_.
CodingDirectives
Contains directives to decode compressed requests and encode responses.
CookieDirectives
Contains a single directive ``setCookie`` to aid adding a cookie to a response.
ExecutionDirectives
Contains directives to deal with exceptions that occurred during routing.
FileAndResourceDirectives
Contains directives to serve resources from files on the file system or from the classpath.
HostDirectives
Contains directives to filter on the ``Host`` header of the incoming request.
MethodDirectives
Contains directives to filter on the HTTP method of the incoming request.
MiscDirectives
Contains directives that validate a request by user-defined logic.
:ref:`path-directives-java`
Contains directives to match and filter on the URI path of the incoming request.
RangeDirectives
Contains a single directive ``withRangeSupport`` that adds support for retrieving partial responses.
SchemeDirectives
Contains a single directive ``scheme`` to filter requests based on the URI scheme (http vs. https).
WebsocketDirectives
Contains directives to support answering Websocket requests.
