I am desperate. I tried to do ActionComposition like in the very last paragraph of the official docs: https://playframework.com/documentation/2.3.x/ScalaActionsComposition
My code:
object ActionBuilder1 extends ActionRefiner[Request, Request] {
override protected def refine[A](request: Request[A]): Future[Either[Result, Request[A]]] = Future {Right(request)}
}
object ActionBuilder2 extends ActionBuilder[Request] {
def invokeBlock[A](request: Request[A], block: (Request[A]) => Future[Result]) : Future[Result] = {
block(request)
}
}
In my controller:
def yolo = ActionBuilder2 andThen ActionBuilder1 {
Ok("ASd")
}
But the compiler says:
actions.ActionBuilder1.type does not take parameters
def yolo = ActionBuilder2 andThen ActionBuilder1 {
^
I really do not know why...
I think Scala can't work out what you mean by:
ActionBuilder2 andThen ActionBuilder1 { // Some block }
so the easiest way seems to be declaring that chain as a thing in its own right, then applying the block to it:
val actionChain = ActionBuilder2 andThen ActionBuilder1
def yolo = actionChain {
Ok("yolo")
}
Verification that it's working in the desired order (2
then 1
), via logging:
object ActionBuilder1 extends ActionRefiner[Request, Request] {
override protected def refine[A](request: Request[A]): Future[Either[Result, Request[A]]] = Future {
Logger.info("ActionBuilder1")
Right(request)
}
}
object ActionBuilder2 extends ActionBuilder[Request] {
def invokeBlock[A](request: Request[A], block: (Request[A]) => Future[Result]) : Future[Result] = {
Logger.info("ActionBuilder2")
block(request)
}
}
In the console upon requesting the endpoint:
[info] application - ActionBuilder2
[info] application - ActionBuilder1
