<div class="warning"><p>This guide assumes a working knowledge of Rack protocol and Rack concepts such as middlewares, url maps, and <code>Rack::Builder</code>.</p></div><h3 id="introduction-to-rack"><a class="anchorlink" href="#introduction-to-rack">1 Introduction to Rack</a></h3><p>Rack provides a minimal, modular, and adaptable interface for developing web applications in Ruby. By wrapping HTTP requests and responses in the simplest way possible, it unifies and distills the API for web servers, web frameworks, and software in between (the so-called middleware) into a single method call.</p><p>Explaining how Rack works is not really in the scope of this guide. In case you
are not familiar with Rack's basics, you should check out the <a href="#resources">Resources</a>
section below.</p><h3 id="rails-on-rack"><a class="anchorlink" href="#rails-on-rack">2 Rails on Rack</a></h3><h4 id="rails-application-s-rack-object"><a class="anchorlink" href="#rails-application-s-rack-object">2.1 Rails Application's Rack Object</a></h4><p><code>Rails.application</code> is the primary Rack application object of a Rails
application. Any Rack compliant web server should be using
<code>Rails.application</code> object to serve a Rails application.</p><h4 id="rails-server"><a class="anchorlink" href="#rails-server">2.2 <code>rails server</code></a></h4><p><code>rails server</code> does the basic job of creating a <code>Rack::Server</code> object and starting the webserver.</p><p>Here's how <code>rails server</code> creates an instance of <code>Rack::Server</code></p><div class="code_container">
<pre class="brush: ruby; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
Rails::Server.new.tap do |server|
require APP_PATH
Dir.chdir(Rails.application.root)
server.start
end
</pre>
</div>
<p>The <code>Rails::Server</code> inherits from <code>Rack::Server</code> and calls the <code>Rack::Server#start</code> method this way:</p><div class="code_container">
<pre class="brush: ruby; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
class Server < ::Rack::Server
def start
...
super
end
end
</pre>
</div>
<h4 id="rackup"><a class="anchorlink" href="#rackup">2.3 <code>rackup</code></a></h4><p>To use <code>rackup</code> instead of Rails' <code>rails server</code>, you can put the following inside <code>config.ru</code> of your Rails application's root directory:</p><div class="code_container">
<pre class="brush: ruby; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
# Rails.root/config.ru
require_relative 'config/environment'
run Rails.application
</pre>
</div>
<p>And start the server:</p><div class="code_container">
<pre class="brush: plain; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
$ rackup config.ru
</pre>
</div>
<p>To find out more about different <code>rackup</code> options, you can run:</p><div class="code_container">
<pre class="brush: plain; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
$ rackup --help
</pre>
</div>
<h4 id="development-and-auto-reloading"><a class="anchorlink" href="#development-and-auto-reloading">2.4 Development and auto-reloading</a></h4><p>Middlewares are loaded once and are not monitored for changes. You will have to restart the server for changes to be reflected in the running application.</p><h3 id="action-dispatcher-middleware-stack"><a class="anchorlink" href="#action-dispatcher-middleware-stack">3 Action Dispatcher Middleware Stack</a></h3><p>Many of Action Dispatcher's internal components are implemented as Rack middlewares. <code>Rails::Application</code> uses <code>ActionDispatch::MiddlewareStack</code> to combine various internal and external middlewares to form a complete Rails Rack application.</p><div class="note"><p><code>ActionDispatch::MiddlewareStack</code> is Rails' equivalent of <code>Rack::Builder</code>,
but is built for better flexibility and more features to meet Rails' requirements.</p></div><h4 id="inspecting-middleware-stack"><a class="anchorlink" href="#inspecting-middleware-stack">3.1 Inspecting Middleware Stack</a></h4><p>Rails has a handy command for inspecting the middleware stack in use:</p><div class="code_container">
<pre class="brush: plain; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
$ rails middleware
</pre>
</div>
<p>For a freshly generated Rails application, this might produce something like:</p><div class="code_container">
<pre class="brush: ruby; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
use Rack::Sendfile
use ActionDispatch::Static
use ActionDispatch::Executor
use ActiveSupport::Cache::Strategy::LocalCache::Middleware

use Sprockets::Rails::QuietAssets
use Rails::Rack::Logger

use ActionDispatch::ContentSecurityPolicy::Middleware
use Rack::Head
use Rack::ConditionalGet
use Rack::ETag
use Rack::TempfileReaper

</div>
<p>The default middlewares shown here (and some others) are each summarized in the <a href="#internal-middleware-stack">Internal Middlewares</a> section, below.</p><h4 id="configuring-middleware-stack"><a class="anchorlink" href="#configuring-middleware-stack">3.2 Configuring Middleware Stack</a></h4><p>Rails provides a simple configuration interface <code>config.middleware</code> for adding, removing, and modifying the middlewares in the middleware stack via <code>application.rb</code> or the environment specific configuration file <code>environments/<environment>.rb</code>.</p><h5 id="adding-a-middleware"><a class="anchorlink" href="#adding-a-middleware">3.2.1 Adding a Middleware</a></h5><p>You can add a new middleware to the middleware stack using any of the following methods:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><code>config.middleware.use(new_middleware, args)</code> - Adds the new middleware at the bottom of the middleware stack.</p></li>
<li><p><code>config.middleware.insert_before(existing_middleware, new_middleware, args)</code> - Adds the new middleware before the specified existing middleware in the middleware stack.</p></li>
<li><p><code>config.middleware.insert_after(existing_middleware, new_middleware, args)</code> - Adds the new middleware after the specified existing middleware in the middleware stack.</p></li>
</ul>
<div class="code_container">
<pre class="brush: ruby; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
# config/application.rb
# Push Rack::BounceFavicon at the bottom
config.middleware.use Rack::BounceFavicon
# Add Lifo::Cache after ActionDispatch::Executor.
# Pass { page_cache: false } argument to Lifo::Cache.
config.middleware.insert_after ActionDispatch::Executor, Lifo::Cache, page_cache: false
</pre>
</div>
<h5 id="swapping-a-middleware"><a class="anchorlink" href="#swapping-a-middleware">3.2.2 Swapping a Middleware</a></h5><p>You can swap an existing middleware in the middleware stack using <code>config.middleware.swap</code>.</p><div class="code_container">
<pre class="brush: ruby; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
# config/application.rb
# Replace ActionDispatch::ShowExceptions with Lifo::ShowExceptions
config.middleware.swap ActionDispatch::ShowExceptions, Lifo::ShowExceptions
</pre>
</div>
<h5 id="deleting-a-middleware"><a class="anchorlink" href="#deleting-a-middleware">3.2.3 Deleting a Middleware</a></h5><p>Add the following lines to your application configuration:</p><div class="code_container">
<pre class="brush: ruby; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
# config/application.rb
config.middleware.delete Rack::Runtime
</pre>
</div>
<p>And now if you inspect the middleware stack, you'll find that <code>Rack::Runtime</code> is
not a part of it.</p><div class="code_container">
<pre class="brush: plain; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
$ rails middleware

use ActionDispatch::Static

<p>If you want to remove session related middleware, do the following:</p><div class="code_container">
<pre class="brush: ruby; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
# config/application.rb
config.middleware.delete ActionDispatch::Cookies
config.middleware.delete ActionDispatch::Session::CookieStore

<h4 id="internal-middleware-stack"><a class="anchorlink" href="#internal-middleware-stack">3.3 Internal Middleware Stack</a></h4><p>Much of Action Controller's functionality is implemented as Middlewares. The following list explains the purpose of each of them:</p><p><strong><code>Rack::Sendfile</code></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Sets server specific X-Sendfile header. Configure this via <code>config.action_dispatch.x_sendfile_header</code> option.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><code>ActionDispatch::Static</code></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Used to serve static files from the public directory. Disabled if <code>config.public_file_server.enabled</code> is <code>false</code>.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><code>Rack::Lock</code></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Sets <code>env["rack.multithread"]</code> flag to <code>false</code> and wraps the application within a Mutex.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><code>ActionDispatch::Executor</code></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Used for thread safe code reloading during development.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><code>ActiveSupport::Cache::Strategy::LocalCache::Middleware</code></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Used for memory caching. This cache is not thread safe.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><code>Rack::Runtime</code></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Sets an X-Runtime header, containing the time (in seconds) taken to execute the request.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><code>Rack::MethodOverride</code></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Allows the method to be overridden if <code>params[:_method]</code> is set. This is the middleware which supports the PUT and DELETE HTTP method types.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><code>ActionDispatch::RequestId</code></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Makes a unique <code>X-Request-Id</code> header available to the response and enables the <code>ActionDispatch::Request#request_id</code> method.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><code>ActionDispatch::RemoteIp</code></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Checks for IP spoofing attacks.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><code>Sprockets::Rails::QuietAssets</code></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Suppresses logger output for asset requests.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><code>Rails::Rack::Logger</code></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Notifies the logs that the request has begun. After the request is complete, flushes all the logs.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><code>ActionDispatch::ShowExceptions</code></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Rescues any exception returned by the application and calls an exceptions app that will wrap it in a format for the end user.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><code>ActionDispatch::DebugExceptions</code></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Responsible for logging exceptions and showing a debugging page in case the request is local.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><code>ActionDispatch::Reloader</code></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Provides prepare and cleanup callbacks, intended to assist with code reloading during development.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><code>ActionDispatch::Callbacks</code></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Provides callbacks to be executed before and after dispatching the request.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><code>ActiveRecord::Migration::CheckPending</code></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Checks pending migrations and raises <code>ActiveRecord::PendingMigrationError</code> if any migrations are pending.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><code>ActionDispatch::Cookies</code></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Sets cookies for the request.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><code>ActionDispatch::Session::CookieStore</code></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Responsible for storing the session in cookies.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><code>ActionDispatch::Flash</code></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Sets up the flash keys. Only available if <code>config.action_controller.session_store</code> is set to a value.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><code>ActionDispatch::ContentSecurityPolicy::Middleware</code></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Provides a DSL to configure a Content-Security-Policy header.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><code>Rack::Head</code></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Converts HEAD requests to <code>GET</code> requests and serves them as so.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><code>Rack::ConditionalGet</code></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Adds support for "Conditional <code>GET</code>" so that server responds with nothing if the page wasn't changed.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><code>Rack::ETag</code></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Adds ETag header on all String bodies. ETags are used to validate cache.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><code>Rack::TempfileReaper</code></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Cleans up tempfiles used to buffer multipart requests.</li>
</ul>
