Resources and Responses¶

Resource routes¶

Routing a resource with Rafter is the same thing as adding a route in Sanic except that we do it with the resource decorator of the Rafter App instance.

In this example, app is an instance of the Rafter class.

@app.resource('/)
async def test(request):
    return {'hello': 'world'}

The resource decorator takes the same arguments as Sanic route and, some extra arguments that are used by filters.

rafter.http.Response¶

The Rafter Response is a specialized Sanic HTTPResponse. It acts almost in the same way except that it takes arbitrary data as input and serializes the response’s body at the very last moment.

You can use it to return a specific status code:

from rafter import Response

@app.resource('/)
async def test(request):
    return Response({'hello': 'world'}, 201)

Note

When you return arbitrary data from a resource, Rafter will convert it to a Response instance.
