Router class

This is the reference for the Router that contains all the parameters, attributes and functions.

How to import

from esmerald import Router

esmerald.Router

Router(path=None, app=None, parent=None, on_startup=None, on_shutdown=None, redirect_slashes=None, default=None, routes=None, name=None, dependencies=None, interceptors=None, permissions=None, exception_handlers=None, middleware=None, response_class=None, response_cookies=None, response_headers=None, lifespan=None, tags=None, deprecated=None, security=None)

Bases: BaseRouter

The Router object used by Esmerald upon instantiation.

The router is what is created by default when the routes parameter is defined.

This object is complex and very powerful. Read more in detail about the Router and how to use it.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
path	Relative path of the Gateway. The path can contain parameters in a dictionary like format and if the path is not provided, it will default to /. Example Include() Example with parameters Include(path="/{age: int}") TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None
app	A Router instance always expects an Esmerald instance as an app or any subclass of Esmerald, like a ChildEsmerald. Example from esmerald import ChildEsmerald, Router Router('/child', app=ChildEsmerald(...)) TYPE: Optional[Application] DEFAULT: None
parent	Who owns the Gateway. If not specified, the application automatically it assign it. This is directly related with the application levels. TYPE: Optional[ParentType] DEFAULT: None
on_startup	A list of events that are trigger upon the application starts. Read more about the events. Example from pydantic import BaseModel from saffier import Database, Registry from esmerald import Router, Gateway, post database = Database("postgresql+asyncpg://user:password@host:port/database") registry = Registry(database=database) class User(BaseModel): name: str email: str password: str retype_password: str @post("/create", tags=["user"], description="Creates a new user in the database") async def create_user(data: User) -> None: # Logic to create the user ... app = Router( routes=[Gateway(handler=create_user)], on_startup=[database.connect], ) TYPE: Optional[List[LifeSpanHandler]] DEFAULT: None
on_shutdown	A list of events that are trigger upon the application shuts down. Read more about the events. Example from pydantic import BaseModel from saffier import Database, Registry from esmerald import Router, Gateway, post database = Database("postgresql+asyncpg://user:password@host:port/database") registry = Registry(database=database) class User(BaseModel): name: str email: str password: str retype_password: str @post("/create", tags=["user"], description="Creates a new user in the database") async def create_user(data: User) -> None: # Logic to create the user ... app = Router( routes=[Gateway(handler=create_user)], on_shutdown=[database.disconnect], ) TYPE: Optional[List[LifeSpanHandler]] DEFAULT: None
redirect_slashes	Boolean flag indicating if the redirect slashes are enabled for the routes or not. TYPE: Optional[bool] DEFAULT: None
default	A default ASGI callable. TYPE: Optional[ASGIApp] DEFAULT: None
routes	A list of esmerald routes. Those routes may vary and those can be Gateway, WebSocketGateWay or even an Include. This is also an entry-point for the routes of the Router but it does not rely on only one level. Read more about how to use and leverage the Esmerald routing system. Example from esmerald import Esmerald, Gateway, Request, get, Include @get() async def homepage(request: Request) -> str: return "Hello, home!" @get() async def another(request: Request) -> str: return "Hello, another!" app = Esmerald( routes=[ Gateway(handler=homepage) Include("/nested", routes=[ Gateway(handler=another) ]) ] ) Note The Include is very powerful and this example is not enough to understand what more things you can do. Read in more detail about this. TYPE: Optional[Sequence[Union[APIGateHandler, Include, HTTPHandler, WebSocketHandler]]] DEFAULT: None
name	The name for the Gateway. The name can be reversed by path_for(). TYPE: Optional[str] DEFAULT: None
dependencies	A dictionary of string and Inject instances enable application level dependency injection. TYPE: Optional[Dependencies] DEFAULT: None
interceptors	A list of interceptors to serve the application incoming requests (HTTP and Websockets). TYPE: Optional[Sequence[Interceptor]] DEFAULT: None
permissions	A list of permissions to serve the application incoming requests (HTTP and Websockets). TYPE: Optional[Sequence[Permission]] DEFAULT: None
exception_handlers	A dictionary of exception types (or custom exceptions) and the handler functions on an application top level. Exception handler callables should be of the form of handler(request, exc) -> response and may be be either standard functions, or async functions. TYPE: Optional[ExceptionHandlerMap] DEFAULT: None
middleware	A list of middleware to run for every request. The middlewares of an Include will be checked from top-down or Lilya Middleware as they are both converted internally. Read more about Python Protocols. TYPE: Optional[List[Middleware]] DEFAULT: None
response_class	Default response class to be used within the Esmerald application. Read more about the Responses and how to use them. Example from esmerald import Router, JSONResponse Router(response_class=JSONResponse) TYPE: Optional[ResponseType] DEFAULT: None
response_cookies	A sequence of esmerald.datastructures.Cookie objects. Read more about the Cookies. Example from esmerald import Router from esmerald.datastructures import Cookie response_cookies=[ Cookie( key="csrf", value="CIwNZNlR4XbisJF39I8yWnWX9wX4WFoz", max_age=3000, httponly=True, ) ] Router(response_cookies=response_cookies) TYPE: Optional[ResponseCookies] DEFAULT: None
response_headers	A mapping of esmerald.datastructures.ResponseHeader objects. Read more about the ResponseHeader. Example from esmerald import Router from esmerald.datastructures import ResponseHeader response_headers={ "authorize": ResponseHeader(value="granted") } Router(response_headers=response_headers) TYPE: Optional[ResponseHeaders] DEFAULT: None
lifespan	A lifespan context manager handler. This is an alternative to on_startup and on_shutdown and you cannot used all combined. Read more about the lifespan. TYPE: Optional[Lifespan[Any]] DEFAULT: None
tags	A list of strings tags to be applied to the path operation. It will be added to the generated OpenAPI documentation. Note almost everything in Esmerald can be done in levels, which means these tags on a Esmerald instance, means it will be added to every route even if those routes also contain tags. TYPE: Optional[Sequence[str]] DEFAULT: None
deprecated	TYPE: Optional[bool] DEFAULT: None
security	Used by OpenAPI definition, the security must be compliant with the norms. Esmerald offers some out of the box solutions where this is implemented. The Esmerald security is available to automatically used. The security can be applied also on a level basis. For custom security objects, you must subclass esmerald.openapi.security.base.HTTPBase object. TYPE: Optional[Sequence[SecurityScheme]] DEFAULT: None
