👋 whats the proper way to configure accept multiple content types on a server route (and fallback to json if none specified)?

accept(ContentType) {
  // configure route
  post("foo") {...}
}
// configure same route as above?
post("foo") {...}

seems pretty redundant....

Is it this you want to achieve?
(see a thread few days ago)

to an extent yeah I think I could do something like this

val route = post("foo") { ... }
route.install(ContentNegotiation) {
  jackson(contentType = ContentType.parse("application/graphql-response+json")) 
  // fallback
  jackson(contentType = ContentType.Any)
}

thanks!
