Signature

def post: Directive0 

Description

This directive filters the incoming request by its HTTP method. Only requests with method POST are passed on to the inner route. All others are rejected with a MethodRejection, which is translated into a 405 Method Not Allowed response by the default RejectionHandler.

Example

val route = post { complete("This is a POST request.") }

Post("/", "post content") ~> route ~> check {
  responseAs[String] === "This is a POST request."
}
