delete

delete

Matches requests with HTTP method DELETE.

Description

This directive filters an incoming request by its HTTP method. Only requests with method DELETE are passed on to the inner route. All others are rejected with a MethodRejection, which is translated into a 405 Method Not Allowed response by the default RejectionHandler.

Example

final Route route = delete(() -> complete("This is a DELETE request."));

testRoute(route).run(HttpRequest.DELETE("/")).assertEntity(
    "This is a DELETE request.");
