Intercepting Web requests

Claudia API Builder allows you to intercept web API requests, filter and change them before routing. This example demonstrates how to set up a simple intercept that kills all requests without a query string name parameter.

To try it out

• run npm start to install the app
• try the API /hello URL in your browser, it should report an error
• add ?name=Tom to the URL and try again, you should see a successful greeting.

How it works

The intercept method gets called before the routing, and can prevent the requests from being executed by throwing an exception, or returning a promise that later rejects. See web.js for how it's set up in this case, and check out Intercepting Requests API docs for more information
