Http Class

Checks if the specified content types are acceptable, based on the request’s Accept HTTP header field.

Example:

this.accepts(['json', 'text'])
  // => "json"
  

Note: This is a proxy of the express js request.accepts method.

Constructs a new http object. Sets up request and response properties and injects services if defined.

Sets the following properties on the route:

• request (express request)
• response (express response)
• body (request body)
• params (request url named parameters)
• query (request url query parameters)
• headers (request headers)
• method (request method)

Services are injected under the defined injection property.

Example: Given the following service definition:

static services(register) {
    register('authentication')
  }
  

The route will be able to access the service:

this.authentication
  

Determines if the incoming request’s “Content-Type” HTTP header field matches the MIME type specified by the type parameter.

Note: This is a proxy of the express js request.is method.

Example:

// When Content-Type is application/json
  this.is('json')
  this.is('application/json')
  this.is('application/')
  // => true
  

Used to define which services should be registered on the class.

Call the register function as many times as needed to register services. Services are referenced by their name and will be looked up by the framework and injected onto the instance.

Example:

class MyClass extends Http {
    static services (register) {
      register('authentication')
      register('user')
    }
  }
  

In the example above, the authentication service will be looked up from the app/services directory and injected onto the instance as this.authentication. The user service will be injected in the same manor afterwards.
