Hi everyone 😉 I know that http4k can generate responseLens and use returning to specify it in contract route. But I want to know is it possible to constraint and auto-marshalling for request? like

data class LoginRequest(val email: String, val password: String) {
    init {
        require(EmailValidator.getInstance().isValid(email))
    }
}

val requestLens = Body.auto<LoginRequest>("Login essentials.")
fun handler(login: LoginRequest): HttpHandler =  { req: Request -> ... }

"/login" / Body.of(requestLens) meta {
   ...
} bindContract <http://Method.POST|Method.POST> to ::handler

Many thanks.

Absolutely - but the body isn't defined in the path as you've got above (And isn't injected as the path params are). Check out this example from the docs: https://www.http4k.org/guide/modules/contracts/
