middleware¶
Custom ASGI app middleware.
These middleware are based on Starlette's BaseHTTPMiddleware
. See the specific Starlette documentation page for more information on it's middleware implementation.
OPTIMADE_MIDDLEWARE: Tuple[starlette.middleware.base.BaseHTTPMiddleware]
¶
A tuple of all the middleware classes that implement certain required features of the OPTIMADE specification, e.g. warnings and URL versioning.
Note
The order in which middleware is added to an application matters.
As discussed in the docstring of AddWarnings
, this middleware is the final entry to this list so that it is the first to be applied by the server. Any other middleware should therefore be added before iterating through this variable. This is the opposite way around to the example in the Starlette documentation which initialises the application with a pre-built middleware list in the reverse order to OPTIMADE_MIDDLEWARE
.
To use this variable in FastAPI app code after initialisation:
from fastapi import FastAPI
app = FastAPI()
for middleware in OPTIMADE_MIDDLEWARE:
app.add_middleware(middleware)
Alternatively, to use this variable on initialisation:
from fastapi import FastAPI
from starlette.middleware import Middleware
app = FastAPI(
...,
middleware=[Middleware(m) for m in reversed(OPTIMADE_MIDDLEWARE)]
)
AddWarnings (BaseHTTPMiddleware)
¶
Add OptimadeWarning
s to the response.
All sub-classes of OptimadeWarning
will also be added to the response's meta.warnings
list.
By overriding the warnings.showwarning()
function with the showwarning
method, all usages of warnings.warn()
will result in the regular printing of the warning message to stderr
, but also its addition to an in-memory list of warnings. This middleware will, after the URL request has been handled, add the list of accumulated warnings to the JSON response under the meta.warnings
field.
To make sure the last part happens correctly and a Starlette StreamingResponse
is returned, as is expected from a BaseHTTPMiddleware
sub-class, one is instantiated with the updated Content-Length
header, as well as making sure the response's body content is actually streamable, by breaking it down into chunks of the original response's chunk size.
Important
It is recommended to add this middleware as the last one to your application.
This is to ensure it is invoked first, updating warnings.showwarning()
and catching all warnings that should be added to the response.
This can be achieved by applying AddWarnings
after all other middleware with the .add_middleware()
method, or by initialising the app with a middleware list in which AddWarnings
appears first. More information can be found in the docstring of OPTIMADE_MIDDLEWARE
.

showwarning(self, message, category, filename, lineno, file=None, line=None)
¶
Hook to write a warning to a file using the built-in warnings
lib.
In the documentation for the built-in warnings
library, there are a few recommended ways of customizing the printing of warning messages.
This method can override the warnings.showwarning
function, which is called as part of the warnings
library's workflow to print warning messages, e.g., when using warnings.warn()
. Originally, it prints warning messages to stderr
. This method will also print warning messages to stderr
by calling warnings._showwarning_orig()
or warnings._showwarnmsg_impl()
. The first function will be called if the issued warning is not recognized as an OptimadeWarning
. This is equivalent to "standard behaviour". The second function will be called after an OptimadeWarning
has been handled.
An OptimadeWarning
will be translated into an OPTIMADE Warnings JSON object in accordance with the specification. This process is similar to the Exception handlers.
Parameters:

Hook to write a warning to a file using the built-in `warnings` lib.
In [the documentation](https://docs.python.org/3/library/warnings.html)
for the built-in `warnings` library, there are a few recommended ways of
customizing the printing of warning messages.
This method can override the `warnings.showwarning` function,
which is called as part of the `warnings` library's workflow to print
warning messages, e.g., when using `warnings.warn()`.
Originally, it prints warning messages to `stderr`.
This method will also print warning messages to `stderr` by calling
`warnings._showwarning_orig()` or `warnings._showwarnmsg_impl()`.
The first function will be called if the issued warning is not recognized
as an [`OptimadeWarning`][optimade.server.warnings.OptimadeWarning].
This is equivalent to "standard behaviour".
The second function will be called _after_ an
[`OptimadeWarning`][optimade.server.warnings.OptimadeWarning] has been handled.
An [`OptimadeWarning`][optimade.server.warnings.OptimadeWarning] will be
translated into an OPTIMADE Warnings JSON object in accordance with
[the specification](https://github.com/Materials-Consortia/OPTIMADE/blob/v1.0.0/optimade.rst#json-response-schema-common-fields).
This process is similar to the [Exception handlers][optimade.server.exception_handlers].
Parameters:
message: The `Warning` object to show and possibly handle.
category: `Warning` type being warned about. This amounts to `type(message)`.
filename: Name of the file, where the warning was issued.
lineno: Line number in the file, where the warning was issued.
file: A file-like object to which the warning should be written.
line: Source content of the line that issued the warning.

HandleApiHint (BaseHTTPMiddleware)
¶
Handle api_hint
query parameter.
handle_api_hint(api_hint)
staticmethod
¶
Handle api_hint
parameter value.
There are several scenarios that can play out, when handling the api_hint
query parameter:
If several api_hint
query parameters have been used, or a "standard" JSON list (,
-separated value) has been supplied, a warning will be added to the response and the api_hint
query parameter will not be applied.
If the passed value does not comply with the rules set out in the specification, a warning will be added to the response and the api_hint
query parameter will not be applied.
If the value is part of the implementation's accepted versioned base URLs, it will be returned as is.
If the value represents a major version that is newer than what is supported by the implementation, a 553 Version Not Supported
response will be returned, as is stated by the specification.
On the other hand, if the value represents a major version equal to or lower than the implementation's supported major version, then the implementation's supported major version will be returned and tried for the request.
Parameters:
