delete_header(response, name)

View Source

Deletes the header given by name.

All occurences of the header are deleted, in case the header is repeated multiple times.

See also "Header Names" section in Req module documentation.

Examples 

iex> Req.Response.get_header(resp, "cache-control")
["max-age=600", "no-transform"]
iex> resp = Req.Response.delete_header(resp, "cache-control")
iex> Req.Response.get_header(resp, "cache-control")

get_header(response, name)

View Source 
@spec get_header(t(), binary()) :: [binary()]

Returns the values of the header specified by name.

See also "Header Names" section in Req module documentation.

Examples 

iex> Req.Response.get_header(response, "content-type")
["application/json"]

get_private(response, key, default \\ nil)

View Source 
@spec get_private(t(), key :: atom(), default :: term()) :: term()

Gets the value for a specific private key.

get_retry_after(response)

View Source 
@spec get_retry_after(t()) :: integer() | nil

Returns the retry-after header delay value or nil if not found.

json(response \\ new(), body)

View Source 
@spec json(t(), body :: term()) :: t()

Builds or updates a response with JSON body.

Example 

iex> Req.Response.json(%{hello: 42})
%Req.Response{
  status: 200,
  headers: %{"content-type" => ["application/json"]},
  body: ~s|{"hello":42}|
}

iex> resp = Req.Response.new()
iex> Req.Response.json(resp, %{hello: 42})
%Req.Response{
  status: 200,
  headers: %{"content-type" => ["application/json"]},
  body: ~s|{"hello":42}|
}

If the request already contains a 'content-type' header, it is kept as is:

iex> Req.Response.new()
iex> |> Req.Response.put_header("content-type", "application/vnd.api+json; charset=utf-8")
iex> |> Req.Response.json(%{hello: 42})
%Req.Response{
  status: 200,
  headers: %{"content-type" => ["application/vnd.api+json; charset=utf-8"]},
  body: ~s|{"hello":42}|
}

new(options \\ [])

View Source 
@spec new(options :: keyword() | map() | struct()) :: t()

Returns a new response.

Expects a keyword list, map, or struct containing the response keys.

Example 

iex> Req.Response.new(status: 200, body: "body")
%Req.Response{status: 200, headers: %{}, body: "body"}

iex> finch_response = %Finch.Response{status: 200, headers: [{"content-type", "text/html"}]}
iex> Req.Response.new(finch_response)
%Req.Response{status: 200, headers: %{"content-type" => ["text/html"]}, body: ""}

put_header(response, name, value)

View Source 
@spec put_header(t(), binary(), binary()) :: t()

Adds a new response header name if not present, otherwise replaces the previous value of that header with value.

See also "Header Names" section in Req module documentation.

Examples 

iex> resp = Req.Response.put_header(resp, "content-type", "application/json")
iex> resp.headers
[{"content-type", "application/json"}]

put_private(response, key, value)

View Source 
@spec put_private(t(), key :: atom(), value :: term()) :: t()

Assigns a private key to value.

Link to this function

update_private(response, key, initial, fun)

View Source 
@spec update_private(t(), key :: atom(), default :: term(), (atom() -> term())) :: t()

Updates private key with the given function.

If key is present in request private map then the existing value is passed to fun and its result is used as the updated value of key. If key is not present, default is inserted as the value of key. The default value will not be passed through the update function.

Examples 

iex> resp = %Req.Response{private: %{a: 1}}
iex> Req.Response.update_private(resp, :a, 11, & &1 + 1).private
%{a: 2}
iex> Req.Response.update_private(resp, :b, 11, & &1 + 1).private
%{a: 1, b: 11}
