void webSocketBinaryFrame (const QByteArray &message, bool isLastFrame, Cutelyst::Context *c)
 Emitted when the websocket receives a binary frame, this is usefull for parsing big chunks of data without waiting till the whole message arives.
 
void webSocketBinaryMessage (const QByteArray &message, Cutelyst::Context *c)
 Emitted when the websocket receives a binary message, this accounts for all binary frames till the last one.
 
void webSocketClosed (quint16 closeCode, const QString &reason)
 Emitted when the websocket receives a close frame, including a close code and a reason, it's also emitted when the connection closes without the client sending the close frame.
 
void webSocketPong (const QByteArray &payload, Cutelyst::Context *c)
 Emitted when the websocket receives a pong frame, which might include a payload.
 
void webSocketTextFrame (const QString &message, bool isLastFrame, Cutelyst::Context *c)
 Emitted when the websocket receives a text frame, this is usefull for parsing big chunks of data without waiting till the whole message arives.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ~Request()

Request::~Request ( )
virtual

Definition at line 26 of file request.cpp.

◆ Request()

Member Function Documentation

◆ address()

QHostAddress Request::address ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the address of the client

Definition at line 33 of file request.cpp.

References Request().

◆ addressString()

QString Request::addressString ( ) const

Returns the address as string of the client.

When using IPv6 sockets to listen to both IPv4 and IPv6 sockets the output of QHostAddress might be something like "::ffff:127.0.0.1", which is not a bug and a valid address, but from an application point of view this might not be interesting to have, so this function checks if it's possible to convert to an IPv4 address and returns "127.0.0.1".

Definition at line 39 of file request.cpp.

References Request().

◆ args()

QStringList Cutelyst::Request::args ( ) const
inline

Shortcut for arguments()

Definition at line 526 of file request.h.

◆ arguments()

QStringList Request::arguments ( ) const
noexcept

Returns a list of string containing the arguments. For example, if your action was

class foo : public Cutelyst::Controller
{
public:
C_ATTR(bar, :Local)
void bar(Context *c);
};
Cutelyst Controller base class
Definition controller.h:88

and the URI for the request was http://.../foo/bar/bah, the string bah would be the first and only argument.

Arguments get automatically URI-unescaped for you.

Definition at line 151 of file request.cpp.

References Request().

◆ base()

QString Request::base ( ) const

Returns Contains the URI base. This will always have a trailing slash. Note that the URI scheme (e.g., http vs. https) must be determined through heuristics; depending on your server configuration, it may be incorrect. See secure() for more info.

If your application was queried with the URI http://localhost:3000/some/path then base is http://localhost:3000/.

◆ body()

QIODevice * Request::body ( ) const

Returns the message body of the request as passed by the Engine, this can even be a file if the Engine wants to.

Definition at line 181 of file request.cpp.

References Request().

◆ bodyData()

QVariant Request::bodyData ( ) const

Returns a QVariant representation of POST/PUT body data that is not classic HTML form data, such as JSON, XML, etc. By default, Cutelyst will parse incoming data of the type 'application/json' and return access to that data via this method.

You may define addition data_handlers.

If the POST is malformed in some way (such as undefined or not content that matches the content-type) we return a null QVariant.

If the POSTed content type does not match an available data handler, this will also return a null QVariant.

Definition at line 187 of file request.cpp.

◆ bodyJsonArray()

QJsonArray Request::bodyJsonArray ( ) const

When request Content-Type is 'application/json' this will contain the parsed JSON representation array.

◆ mangleParams()

bool append = false ) const

Returns a ParamsMultiMap of parameters stemming from the current request's params, plus the ones supplied. Keys for which no current param exists will be added, keys with null values will be removed and keys with existing params will be replaced. Note that you can supply a true value as the final argument to change behavior with regards to existing parameters, appending values rather than replacing them.

A quick example:

// URI query params foo=1
ParamsMultiMap params = request->mangleParams({ {"foo", "2"} });
// Result is query params of foo=2
QMultiMap< QString, QString > ParamsMultiMap

versus append mode:

// URI query params foo=1
ParamsMultiMap params = request->mangleParams({ {"foo", "2"} }, true);
// Result is query params of foo=1&foo=2
