How to Retrieve All Path Parameters as a Map in Javalin?

Context#pathParamMap metho read all the path parameters as a map.

Example

Map<String, String> pathParamsMap = ctx.pathParamMap();

Find the below working application.

 

Step 1: Create new maven project ‘javalin-read-path-params-as-map’.

 

Step 2: Update pom.xml with maven dependencies.

 

pom.xml

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

	<version>1.0.0</version>

	</build>
</project>

Step 3: Define JsonUtil class.

 

JsonUtil.java

package com.sample.app.util;

import com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonProcessingException;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;

public class JsonUtil {

	public static String getJson(Object obj) throws JsonProcessingException {
		ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
		return mapper.writeValueAsString(obj);
	}

}

 

Step 4: Define main application class.

 

App.java

 

package com.sample.app;

import java.util.Map;

import com.sample.app.util.JsonUtil;

import io.javalin.Javalin;
import io.javalin.http.HttpStatus;

public class App {

	public static void main(String[] args) {

		Javalin javalin = Javalin.create();

		javalin.get("/", (ctx) -> {
			ctx.result("Welcome to Javalin programming!!!!");
		});

		javalin.post("/register-me/{name}/{age}", (ctx) -> {

			Map<String, String> pathParamsMap = ctx.pathParamMap();

			String json = JsonUtil.getJson(pathParamsMap);

			ctx.result(json).status(HttpStatus.CREATED);
		});

		javalin.start(8080);
	}

}

Total project structure looks like below.

Build the project

Navigate to the folder, where pom.xml is located and execute the command ‘mvn package’.

 

Upon successful command execution, you can see a ‘javalin-read-path-params-as-map-1.0.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar’ file.

$ls ./target/
