I am using Rook framework for web services. I want to make API responses be pretty-printed. It seems that the response encoding is all handled by the wrap-restful-format function from ring.middleware.format. So I tried to replace the rook/wrap-with-standard-middleware function with my own version that passes different options through to ring.middleware.format.
(defn make-encoders-seq []
[(ring.middleware.format-response/make-encoder
(fn [s]
(json/generate-string s {:pretty true}))
"application/json")])
(defn wrap-with-standard-middleware-modified
[handler]
(-> handler
(ring.middleware.format/wrap-restful-format :formats [:json-kw :edn]
:response-options
[:encoders (make-encoders-seq)])
ring.middleware.keyword-params/wrap-keyword-params
ring.middleware.params/wrap-params))
(def handler (-> (rook/namespace-handler
["resource" 'my-app.resource])
(rook/wrap-with-injection :data-store venues)
wrap-with-standard-middleware-modified))
This compiles fine but it doesn't work to pretty print the responses, it seems like the custom encoder is never called.
json/generate-string in above)Try to change your format/wrap-restful-format to:
(ring.middleware.format/wrap-restful-format :formats (concat (make-encoders-seq) [:edn])
