The processor transforms a parameter's value to a format that
a method request handler can work with easily. For example, URL
query parameters that include lists are often comma-separated, e.g.:
apix.example.com/entity/method?param=value1,value2,value3,value4.
However, as this is a list, a processor can then turn this value into
a ReadonlyArray<string>, as an example. The handler can then be
implemented with the assumption that the parameter is processed.
Example
// transforms comma-separated strings such as `'mylist,of,values'` into // readonly arrays such as `['mylist', 'of', 'values']`. The parameter // name is always output in camelCase. classCommaSeparatedListUrlQueryParameterProcessorimplementsUrlQueryParameterProcessor<ReadonlyArray<string>> { process(name: string, value: string): [string, ReadonlyArray<string>] { // any input here has already been pre-validated. return [this.snakeCaseToCamelCase(name), value.split(',')]; }
// Converts something like snake_case or SNAKE_CASE to snakeCase. // it will leave values already in camelCase as camelCase. snakeCaseToCamelCase(str: string): string { ... } }
