On a route scoped plugin… is there any way to access the full path of the route it is being installed on?

Could you please describe your use case?

For building an openapi generator, I want the route plug-in to be able to see the full path so it knows where to store the route metadata in the generated spec

you can cast

pipeline

to route and iterate through its parents to get the full route

apologies for the really late reply here, I’m just getting to picking this up again… I’m a bit confused… where is the pipeline accessible from? With the new plugin syntax

createRouteScopedPlugin()

I’m not sure where I’m finding this pipeline. Would I need to wait until an application event trigger to do this? Because at the moment I am able to handle everything in the PluginBuilder context, and would prefer to not have to monitor for some API event before constructing the path (if possible)

Sorry, my bad,

pipeline

is internal inside

PluginBuilder

. As a workaround you can create a hook to expose the pipeline

private object InstallHook : Hook<(ApplicationCallPipeline) -> Unit> {
    override fun install(pipeline: ApplicationCallPipeline, handler: (ApplicationCallPipeline) -> Unit) {
        handler(pipeline)   
    }
}
public val plugin = createRouteScopedPlugin("MyPlugin") {
    on(InstallHook) {
        val route = it as? Route ?: return@on
    }
}

interesting, I will give this a go, thank you! out of curiosity… are there plans to streamline this in future releases? this feels a bit hacky

if we collect more use cases for this, we can provide better API

fair enough, thank you 👍
