Extending Request Capabilities

One of the benefits of using a centralized extractor like Request is the ability to extend its functionality to suit your application's specific needs.

Adding Custom Methods

In the following example, we show how to add custom extraction logic to the Request struct by implementing a trait.

use sword::prelude::*;
use sword::web::*;

#[derive(Clone)]

With this trait, you can easily access the authorization header and store or retrieve a user associated with the request.
