Multipart response in Sinatra

Question

I'm building a document service on sinatra. In the response, I want to send the JSON data and an attachment. How can I do this in sinatra?

Answer 1

The best way to handle this is to provide just two routes.

Something like this:

get "/json" do
    return json
end

get "/file/:name" do |filename|
    send_file file.filePath, :filename => file.fileName, :disposition => 'attachment'
end

And in your json respons you include the path to your file.
