Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Default Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`default void`	`accept(RequestPredicates.Visitor visitor)`	Accept the given visitor.
`default RequestPredicate`	`and(RequestPredicate other)`	Return a composed request predicate that tests against both this predicate AND the `other` predicate.
`default RequestPredicate`	`negate()`	Return a predicate that represents the logical negation of this predicate.
`default Optional<ServerRequest>`	`nest(ServerRequest request)`	Transform the given request into a request used for a nested route.
`default RequestPredicate`	`or(RequestPredicate other)`	Return a composed request predicate that tests against both this predicate OR the `other` predicate.
`boolean`	`test(ServerRequest request)`	Evaluate this predicate on the given request.

  - test
```
boolean test(ServerRequest request)
```
    Evaluate this predicate on the given request.
    Parameters:
    request - the request to match against
    Returns:
    true if the request matches the predicate; false otherwise
  - and
```
default RequestPredicate and(RequestPredicate other)
```
    Return a composed request predicate that tests against both this predicate AND the other predicate. When evaluating the composed predicate, if this predicate is false, then the other predicate is not evaluated.
    Parameters:
    other - a predicate that will be logically-ANDed with this predicate
    Returns:
    a predicate composed of this predicate AND the other predicate
  - negate
```
default RequestPredicate negate()
```
    Return a predicate that represents the logical negation of this predicate.
    Returns:
    a predicate that represents the logical negation of this predicate
  - or
```
default RequestPredicate or(RequestPredicate other)
```
    Return a composed request predicate that tests against both this predicate OR the other predicate. When evaluating the composed predicate, if this predicate is true, then the other predicate is not evaluated.
    Parameters:
    other - a predicate that will be logically-ORed with this predicate
    Returns:
    a predicate composed of this predicate OR the other predicate
  - nest
```
default Optional<ServerRequest> nest(ServerRequest request)
```
    Transform the given request into a request used for a nested route. For instance, a path-based predicate can return a ServerRequest with a the path remaining after a match.
    The default implementation returns an Optional wrapping the given request if test(ServerRequest) evaluates to true; or Optional.empty() if it evaluates to false.
    Parameters:
    request - the request to be nested
    Returns:
    the nested request
    See Also:
    RouterFunctions.nest(RequestPredicate, RouterFunction)
  - accept
```
default void accept(RequestPredicates.Visitor visitor)
```
    Accept the given visitor. Default implementation calls RequestPredicates.Visitor.unknown(RequestPredicate); composed RequestPredicate implementations are expected to call accept for all components that make up this request predicate.
    Parameters:
    visitor - the visitor to accept
