It means that any middleware wrapping the handler won't affect the response.
For instance, assume you have an async handler that returns a channel.
(defn async-handler! [req]
(let [ch (a/chan)]
(go (<! ch {:status 200, :headers {}, :body "Hello World"}) (a/close!
ch))
ch))
The normal way of applying middleware is to pass the handler to a
wrap-whatever function:
(def async-handler!
(wrap-foo
(fn [req]
(let [ch (a/chan)]
(go (<! ch {:status 200, :headers {}, :body "Hello World"})
(a/close! ch))
ch))
The middleware function expects the handler to return a map, not a channel,
so this won't work. However, Ring supplies foo-request and foo-response
functions for all the standard middleware, so you can write:
(defn async-handler! [req]
(let [ch (a/chan)]
(go (<! ch (foo-response {:status 200, :headers {}, :body "Hello
World"})) (a/close! ch))
ch))
Using the standard wrap-foo middleware is obviously preferable the vast
majority of the time, as it's less complected.
