How do I route routes (using `~`) that are the result of functions?
scala> import akka.http.scaladsl.server._; import Directives._
import akka.http.scaladsl.server._
import Directives._
Suppose I have two functions from some type ( Int
say) to Route
:
scala> lazy val r1: Int => Route = ???
r1: Int => akka.http.scaladsl.server.Route = <lazy>
scala> lazy val r2: Int => Route = ???
r2: Int => akka.http.scaladsl.server.Route = <lazy>
I can compose a route this way:
scala> lazy val composite: Route = path("foo"){ r1(1) } ~ path("bar"){ r2(1) }
composite: akka.http.scaladsl.server.Route = <lazy>
I would like to use function composition along with chaining ~
. That is, I would like this to just work:
scala> lazy val composite: Int => Route = path("foo")(r1) ~ path("bar")(r2)
Except this is not: - (
<console>:31: error: type mismatch;
found : Int => akka.http.scaladsl.server.Route
(which expands to) Int => (akka.http.scaladsl.server.RequestContext => scala.concurrent.Future[akka.http.scaladsl.server.RouteResult])
required: akka.http.scaladsl.server.Route
(which expands to) akka.http.scaladsl.server.RequestContext => scala.concurrent.Future[akka.http.scaladsl.server.RouteResult]
lazy val composite: Int => Route = path("foo")(r1) ~ path("bar")(r2)
^
EDIT
I am trying to do this using dot composition of functions. As Ramon shows below, this is easy to do if you want to duplicate a function app (which is what I want to avoid). I.e:
lazy val composite: Int => Route
= i => path("foo")(r1(i)) ~ path("bar")(r2(i))
Note
Using scalaz I can do this:
scala> import akka.http.scaladsl.server._; import Directives._; import scalaz.syntax.monad._; import scalaz.std.function._
import akka.http.scaladsl.server._
import Directives._
import scalaz.syntax.monad._
import scalaz.std.function._
scala> lazy val r1: Int => Route = ???
r1: Int => akka.http.scaladsl.server.Route = <lazy>
scala> lazy val r2: Int => Route = ???
r2: Int => akka.http.scaladsl.server.Route = <lazy>
scala> lazy val composite = for (x <- r1; y <- r2) yield path("foo")(x) ~ path("bar")(y)
composite: Int => akka.http.scaladsl.server.Route = <lazy>
Which is as good as it goes, but the implicit ConjunctionMagnet.fromRouteGenerator
in akka.http.scaladsl.server
gives me reason to think it's possible in akka-http directly

As the equivalent of the skalaz example you provided:
lazy val composite: Int => Route =
(i) => path("foo")(r1(i)) ~ path("bar")(r2(i))
Similarly, you can anonymize the parameter name, but this will result in two parameters:
lazy val composite: (Int,Int) => Route = path("foo")(r1(_)) ~ path("bar")(r2(_))
