Variable names in italics are read-only, and in bold they can be overwritten.

shared	-	A special variable used to share data between `onRequest` and `onResponse`, which can be auto-serializable variables such as str, int, list and dict.

Code example:

def onRequest(context, request):

caution

If you change the non-form type to form type, you must modify the headers and set boundary at the same time!

  # Done
  return request

Highlight

Enum	Description
none	No highlight
red	Red highlight
yellow	Yellow highlight
green	Green highlight
blue	Blue highlight
teal	Teal highlight
strikethrough	Strike-through highlight

Code example:

def onRequest(context, response):
  # Set request read highlight
  context.highlight = Highlight.red
  # Done
  return request

Example 1

Below is an example of modifying JSON response data.

Suppose the response data is in the following format:

{
  "code": 10000,
  "message": "ok",
  "content": {
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "platform": "windows"
  }
}

We need to change the value of version to 2.0.0.

from reqable import *

def onRequest(context, request):
  # Done
  return request

def onResponse(context, response):
  # Jsonify the response body
  response.body.jsonify()
  # Modify the version value in the dictionary
  response.body['content']['version'] = '2.0.0'
  # Done
  return response

Example 2

The following is an example of automatically signing request parameters with MD5.

from reqable import *
import hashlib

def onRequest(context, request):
  # Sort the query list
  queries = sorted(request.queries)
  # Concat the query parameters
  text = queries.concat()
  # Sign using the md5 algorithm
  algorithm = hashlib.md5()
  algorithm.update(text.encode(encoding='UTF-8'))
  signature = algorithm.hexdigest()
  # The signature is added to the request header
  request.headers['signature'] = signature
  # Done
  return request

def onResponse(context, response):
  # Done
  return response

Example 3

Below is an example script that automatically saves images.

from reqable import *
from mimetypes import guess_extension
import datetime
import os

def onRequest(context, request):
  return request

def onResponse(context, response):
  # Check the Mime type, if it is not an image type, it will be skipped and not processed
  mime = response.mime
  if mime == None:
    return response

  maintype, subtype = mime.split('/')
  if not maintype == 'image':
    return response

  # Save the image to the directory, the file name is timestamp, and the suffix is derived according to the mime type
  dir = '/Users/megatronking/Downloads/reqable/'
  os.makedirs(dir, exist_ok=True)
  name = datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%H%M%S%f")
  ext = guess_extension(mime)
  image = os.path.join(dir, name + ext)

  # Write body payload to file
  print(f'Saving image {image}')
  response.body.writeFile(image)

  # Done
  return response
