Question

 case GET(Path("/rtb_v1/bidrequest")) => Action {  implicit request =>

I want to take the request object above and get all of the key/value pairs sent in the form post and flatten it into a Map[String,String]

i have gone through all the documents and am at a dead end.

This is pretty freaking easy in Java/Servlets I;m wondering why there is no documentation on a simple thing like this anywhere..

Map<String, String[]> parameters = request.getParameterMap();

Answer 1

Play’s equivalent of request.getParamterMap is request.queryString, which returns a Map[String, Seq[String]]. You can flatten it to a Map[String, String] with

request.queryString.map { case (k,v) => k -> v.mkString }

And here is the documentation.
