|
|
|
+----
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Read, parse and match a urlencoded request body against
|
|
|
+constraints.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This function reads the request body and parses it as
|
|
|
+`application/x-www-form-urlencoded`. It then applies
|
|
|
+the given field constraints to the urlencoded data
|
|
|
+and returns the result as a map.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The urlencoded media type is used by Web browsers when
|
|
|
+submitting HTML forms using the POST method.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Cowboy will only return the values specified
|
|
|
+in the fields list, and ignore all others. Fields can be
|
|
|
+either the key requested; the key along with a list of
|
|
|
+constraints; or the key, a list of constraints and a
|
|
|
+default value in case the key is missing.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This function will crash if the key is missing and no
|
|
|
+default value is provided. This function will also crash
|
|
|
+if a constraint fails.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The key must be provided as an atom. The key of the
|
|
|
+returned map will be that atom. The value may be converted
|
|
|
+through the use of constraints, making this function able
|
|
|
+to extract, validate and convert values all in one step.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Cowboy needs to read the full body before parsing. By default
|
|
|
+it will read bodies of size up to 64KB. It is possible to
|
|
|
+provide options to read larger bodies if required.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Cowboy will automatically handle protocol details including
|
|
|
+the expect header, chunked transfer-encoding and others.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Once the body has been read, Cowboy sets the content-length
|
|
|
+header if it was not previously provided.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This function can only be called once. Calling it again will
|
|
|
+result in undefined behavior.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+== Arguments
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Fields::
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Fields to retrieve from the urlencoded body.
|
|
|
++
|
|
|
+See link:man:cowboy(3)[cowboy(3)] for a complete description.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Req::
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The Req object.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Opts::
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+A map of body reading options. Please refer to
|
|
|
+link:man:cowboy_req:read_body(3)[cowboy_req:read_body(3)]
|
|
|
+for details about each option.
|
|
|
++
|
|
|
+This function defaults the `length` to 64KB and the `period`
|
|
|
+to 5 seconds.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+== Return value
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+An `ok` tuple is returned.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Desired values are returned as a map. The key is the atom
|
|
|
+that was given in the list of fields, and the value is the
|
|
|
+optionally converted value after applying constraints.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The map contains the same keys that were given in the fields.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+An exception is triggered when the match fails.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The Req object returned in the tuple must be used from that point
|
|
|
+onward. It contains a more up to date representation of the request.
|
|
|
+For example it may have an added content-length header once the
|
|
|
+body has been read.
