Reactive approach/types in Micronaut for RESTful APIs












1















I'm not quite clear about these reactive types when dealing with RESTful APIs.



My understanding is that non-reactive request/responses are made of either simple POJO types or the String type. On the other hand, reactive request/responses –for instance, if using RxJava 2.x- are made of Simple<T> or Flowable<T>.



But then how to approach the reactive model/way when using the HttpRequest<T> / HttpResponse<T> "wrapper" types? I've always like to express the requests/responses with those and not any other type(s) because there are plenty of times one might need to express different HTTP responses types (among other things), for instance:



@Get(value = "/{id}", produces = [MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON])
fun getById(id: String): HttpResponse<Issue> {
//logger.info { "${request.method} ${request.path}" }
return service.findById(UUID.fromString(id))
.map { HttpResponse.ok(it) }
.orElseGet { HttpResponse.notFound() }
}


So my questions are:




  1. What would be the correct way to implement a reactive RESTful API in Micronaut using the HttpRequest<T> / HttpResponse<T> "wrapper" types?

  2. Is there a way to verify any difference(s) when using the non-reactive approach and the reactive one?

You can return something like Flowable<HttpResponse<T>>.
