Overview

Represents an HTTP response generated by a controller action. Use it to retrieve the current state of the response, or customize the response. It can either represent a real HTTP response (i.e. one that is meant to be sent back to the web browser) or a TestResponse (i.e. one that is generated from integration tests).

The Response object for the current request is exposed on controllers as ActionController::Metal#response. ::ActionController::Metal also provides a few additional methods that delegate to attributes of the Response such as ActionController::Metal#headers.

Integration tests will likely also want to inspect responses in more detail. Methods such as Integration::RequestHelpers#get and Integration::RequestHelpers#post return instances of TestResponse (which inherits from Response) for this purpose.

For example, the following demo integration test prints the body of the controller response to the console:

class DemoControllerTest < ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest
  def test_print_root_path_to_console
    get('/')
    puts response.body
  end
end

Instance Attribute Summary

Http::Cache::Response - Included

#cache_control, #date, #date=, #date?,
#etag=

This method sets a weak ETag validator on the response so browsers and proxies may cache the response, keyed on the ETag.
#etag?, #last_modified, #last_modified=, #last_modified?, #strong_etag=,
#strong_etag?

True if an ETag is set, and it isn’t a weak validator (not preceded with W/).
#weak_etag=,
#weak_etag?

True if an ETag is set, and it’s a weak validator (preceded with W/).

    #body   (rw)
  



  

    

Returns the content of the response as a string. This contains the contents of any calls to render.

# File 'actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/http/response.rb', line 316



def body
  @stream.body
end


  








  

    #body=(body)   (rw)
  



  

    

Allows you to manually set or override the response body.

# File 'actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/http/response.rb', line 325



def body=(body)
  if body.respond_to?(:to_path)

  else
    synchronize do
      @stream = build_buffer self, munge_body_object(body)
    end
  end
end


  








  

    #charset   (rw)
  



  

    

The charset of the response. HTML wants to know the encoding of the content you’re giving them, so we need to send that along.


  



  [ GitHub ]


  

  


# File 'actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/http/response.rb', line 286



def charset
  header_info = parsed_content_type_header
  header_info.charset || self.class.default_charset
end


  








  

    #charset=(charset)   (rw)
  



  

    

Sets the HTTP character set. In case of nil parameter it sets the charset to .default_charset.



response.charset = 'utf-16' # => 'utf-16'
response.charset = nil      # => 'utf-8'

def committed?; synchronize { @committed }; end


  








  

    #content_type   (rw)
  



  

    

Content type of response.

def content_type
  super.presence
end


  








  

    #content_type=(content_type)   (rw)
  



  

    

Sets the HTTP response’s content MIME type. For example, in the controller you could write this:



response.content_type = "text/plain"



If a character set has been defined for this response (see charset=) then the character set information will also be included in the content type information.
