Expand description

A type that implements FromRequest is called an extractor and can extract data from the request. Some types that implement this trait are: Json, Header, and Path.

Check out ServiceRequest::extract if you want to leverage extractors when implementing middlewares.

§Configuration

An extractor can be customized by injecting the corresponding configuration with one of:

Here are some built-in extractors and their corresponding configuration. Please refer to the respective documentation for details.

§Implementing An Extractor

To reduce duplicate code in handlers where extracting certain parts of a request has a common structure, you can implement FromRequest for your own types.

Note that the request payload can only be consumed by one extractor.

Required Associated Types§

source

type Error: Into<Error>

The associated error which can be returned.

source

type Future: Future<Output = Result<Self, Self::Error>>

Future that resolves to a Self.

To use an async function or block, the futures must be boxed. The following snippet will be common when creating async/await extractors (that do not consume the body).

type Future = Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = Result<Self, Self::Error>>>>;
// or
type Future = futures_util::future::LocalBoxFuture<'static, Result<Self, Self::Error>>;

fn from_request(req: HttpRequest, ...) -> Self::Future {
    let req = req.clone();
    Box::pin(async move {
        ...
    })
}

Required Methods§

source

fn from_request(req: &HttpRequest, payload: &mut Payload) -> Self::Future

Create a Self from request parts asynchronously.

Provided Methods§

source

fn extract(req: &HttpRequest) -> Self::Future

Create a Self from request head asynchronously.

This method is short for T::from_request(req, &mut Payload::None).

Object Safety§

This trait is not object safe.

Implementations on Foreign Types§

source§

impl FromRequest for ()

source§

impl FromRequest for String

Extract text information from a request’s body.

Text extractor automatically decode body according to the request’s charset.

Use PayloadConfig to configure extraction process.

§Examples

use actix_web::{post, web, FromRequest};

// extract text data from request
#[post("/")]
async fn index(text: String) -> String {
    format!("Body {}!", text)
}

impl<T> FromRequest for Option<T>
where T: FromRequest,

Optionally extract from the request.

If the inner T::from_request returns an error, handler will receive None instead.

use actix_web::error::ErrorBadRequest;
use futures_util::future::{ok, err, Ready};
use serde::Deserialize;
use rand;

struct Thing {
    name: String
}

impl FromRequest for Thing {
    type Error = Error;
    type Future = Ready<Result<Self, Self::Error>>;

    fn from_request(req: &HttpRequest, payload: &mut dev::Payload) -> Self::Future {
        if rand::random() {

impl<T, E> FromRequest for Result<T, E>
where T: FromRequest, T::Error: Into<E>,

Extract from the request, passing error type through to handler.

If the inner T::from_request returns an error, allow handler to receive the error rather than immediately returning an error response.

use actix_web::error::ErrorBadRequest;
use futures_util::future::{ok, err, Ready};
use serde::Deserialize;
use rand;

#[derive(Debug, Deserialize)]
struct Thing {
    name: String
}

impl FromRequest for Thing {
    type Error = Error;
    type Future = Ready<Result<Thing, Error>>;
