faraday_middleware documentation

This is a collection of middleware for the Faraday project.

Example use:

require 'faraday_middleware'

## in Faraday 0.8 or above:
connection = Faraday.new 'http://example.com/api' do |conn|
  conn.request :oauth2, 'TOKEN'
  conn.request :json

  conn.response :xml,  :content_type => /\bxml$/
  conn.response :json, :content_type => /\bjson$/

  conn.use :instrumentation
  conn.adapter Faraday.default_adapter
end

## with Faraday 0.7:
connection = Faraday.new 'http://example.com/api' do |builder|
  builder.use FaradayMiddleware::OAuth2, 'TOKEN'
  builder.use FaradayMiddleware::EncodeJson

  builder.use FaradayMiddleware::ParseXml,  :content_type => /\bxml$/
  builder.use FaradayMiddleware::ParseJson, :content_type => /\bjson$/

  builder.use FaradayMiddleware::Instrumentation
  builder.adapter Faraday.default_adapter
end

Important: same as with Rack middleware, the order of middleware on a Faraday stack is significant. General guidelines:

1. put request middleware first, in order of importance;
2. put response middleware second, in the reverse order of importance;
3. ensure that the adapter is always last.

Request middleware:

• FaradayMiddleware::EncodeJson
• FaradayMiddleware::OAuth
• FaradayMiddleware::OAuth2

Response middleware:

• Parsing responses:
  • FaradayMiddleware::ParseJson
  • FaradayMiddleware::ParseXml
  • FaradayMiddleware::ParseYaml
  • FaradayMiddleware::ParseMarshal
• FaradayMiddleware::Caching
• FaradayMiddleware::FollowRedirects
• FaradayMiddleware::Mashify
• FaradayMiddleware::Rashify

Other middleware:

• FaradayMiddleware::Instrumentation
• FaradayMiddleware::RackCompatible
