assign null default value for optional query param in route - Play Framework

Question

I\'m trying to define an optional query parameter that will map to a Long, but will be null when it is not present in the URL:

GET          


        

Answer 1

In my case I use a String variable.

Example :

In my route :

GET /foo controller.Foo.index(id: String ?= "")

Then I convert in my code with a parser to Long --> Long.parseLong.

But I agree that the method of Hristo is the best.
