m_req

This model gives access to the request variables from within a template.

Sometimes you need direct access to request variables in your template. The m_req model is meant for this. It exposes some values from the Cowmachine request record.

Fetching a single value

You can fetch individual values by key, for example:

{{ m.req.host|escape }}

Viewing all request variables

Use the print tag to get a complete overview of all request variables:

{% print m.req|make_list %}

This will show something like:

[{method,<<"GET">>},
 {version,{1,1}},
 {peer,<<"127.0.0.1">>},
 {is_ssl,false},
 {host,<<"mysite.test">>},
 {raw_path,<<"/en/page/1234?foo=bar">>},
 {path,<<"/en/page/1234">>},
 {qs,[{<<"foo">>,<<"bar">>}]},
 {referrer,<<"http://mysite.test:8000/">>},
 {user_agent,<<"Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_5) AppleWebKit/601.4.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/9.0.3 Safari/601.4.4">>},
 {is_crawler,false},
 {req_id,525158920},
 {headers,[{<<"accept">>,
            <<"text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8">>},
           {<<"accept-encoding">>,<<"gzip, deflate">>},
           {<<"accept-language">>,<<"en-us">>},
           {<<"cache-control">>,<<"max-age=0">>},
           {<<"connection">>,<<"keep-alive">>},
           {<<"cookie">>,
            "z_logon=; z_sid=LopWHBmHXCs94virnboZhBHLKV6m1Cga; z_ua=c%3Ddesktop%26u%3D1%26t%3D1%26w%3D1920%26h%3D1200"},
           {<<"dnt">>,<<"1">>},
           {<<"host">>,<<"mysite.test:8000"},
           {<<"referer">>,<<"http://mysite.test:8000/">>},
           {<<"user-agent">>,
            <<"Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_5) AppleWebKit/601.4.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/9.0.3 Safari/601.4.4">>}]},
 {timezone,<<"UTC">>},
 {language,en}]

Please note that all values are raw and not escaped, take care to escape the values before you use them in your templates, using the escape filter.

The make_list filter is used to force the evaluation of the model; otherwise it would just print {m,req,undefined}.
