rack-jsonp-middleware

Overview

This is a customized implementation of a JSONP middleware.

The main difference with the rest of them is that this one will add JSONP support to any of your JSON calls but only when the extension name '.jsonp' is present.

Since 'callback' is a really generic parameter name if someone wants to get a JSONP response they must request it explicitly.

Btw, don't forget to give a try to J50Nπ (a pure JS JSONP helper), they make a lovely couple together :P

Or you can just install it as a ruby gem by running:

Configuration

Rails 3

In your config/application.rb file add:

require 'rack/jsonp'

And, within the config block:

Here is an exelent example of this - Rails 3 Configuration Example

Thank you rwilcox!

Rails 2

Same as for Rails 3 but modifying the config/environment.rb file instead.

Rack Apps

In your config.ru file add the following lines:

  require 'rack/jsonp'
  use Rack::JSONP

Download

You can download this project in either zip or tar formats.

You can also clone the project with Git by running:

$ git clone git://github.com/robertodecurnex/rack-jsonp-middleware

How it works

Given that http://domain.com/action.json returns the following:

{"key":"value"}

With the following Content-Type:

application/json

Then http://domain.com/action.jsonp?callback=J50Npi.success will return the following:

J50Npi.success({"key":"value"});

With the following Content-Type:

application/javascript

But http://domain.com/action.json?callback=J50Npi.sucess will still returns the following:

{"key":"value"}

With the following Content-Type:

application/json
