|
|
Higher level content negotiation based on [negotiator](https://www.npmjs.com/package/negotiator).
|
|
Extracted from [koa](https://www.npmjs.com/package/koa) for general use.
|
|
|
|
In addition to negotiator, it allows:
|
|
|
|
- Allows types as an array or arguments list, ie `(['text/html', 'application/json'])`
|
|
as well as `('text/html', 'application/json')`.
|
|
- Allows type shorthands such as `json`.
|
|
- Returns `false` when no types match
|
|
- Treats non-existent headers as `*`
|
|

## Installation
|
|
|
|
This is a [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) module available through the
|
|
[npm registry](https://www.npmjs.com/). Installation is done using the
|
|
[`npm install` command](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/installing-npm-packages-locally):
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ npm install accepts
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## API
|
|
|
|
<!-- eslint-disable no-unused-vars -->
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var accepts = require('accepts')
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### accepts(req)
|
|
|
|
Create a new `Accepts` object for the given `req`.
|
|
|
|
#### .charset(charsets)
|
|
|
|
Return the first accepted charset. If nothing in `charsets` is accepted,
|
|
then `false` is returned.
|
|
|
|
#### .charsets()
|
|
|
|
Return the charsets that the request accepts, in the order of the client's
|
|
preference (most preferred first).
|
|
|
|
#### .encoding(encodings)
|
|
|
|
Return the first accepted encoding. If nothing in `encodings` is accepted,
|
|
then `false` is returned.
|
|
|
|
#### .encodings()
|
|
|
|
Return the encodings that the request accepts, in the order of the client's
|
|
preference (most preferred first).
|
|
|
|
#### .language(languages)
|
|
|
|

|
|
then `false` is returned.
|
|
|
|
#### .languages()
|
|
|
|
Return the languages that the request accepts, in the order of the client's
|
|
preference (most preferred first).
|
|
|
|
#### .type(types)
|
|
|
|
Return the first accepted type (and it is returned as the same text as what
|
|
appears in the `types` array). If nothing in `types` is accepted, then `false`
|
|
is returned.
|
|
|
|
The `types` array can contain full MIME types or file extensions. Any value
|
|
that is not a full MIME types is passed to `require('mime-types').lookup`.
|
|
|
|
#### .types()
|
|
|
|
Return the types that the request accepts, in the order of the client's
|
|
preference (most preferred first).
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
### Simple type negotiation
|
|
|
|
This simple example shows how to use `accepts` to return a different typed
|
|
respond body based on what the client wants to accept. The server lists it's
|
|
preferences in order and will get back the best match between the client and
|
|
server.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var accepts = require('accepts')
|
|
var http = require('http')
|
|
|
|
function app (req, res) {
|
|
var accept = accepts(req)
|
|
|
|
// the order of this list is significant; should be server preferred order
|
|
switch (accept.type(['json', 'html'])) {
|
|
case 'json':
|
|
res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json')
|
|
res.write('{"hello":"world!"}')
|
|
break
|
|
case 'html':
|
|
res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html')
|
|
res.write('<b>hello, world!</b>')
|
|
break
|
|
default:
|
|
// the fallback is text/plain, so no need to specify it above
|
|
res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain')
|
|
res.write('hello, world!')
|
|
break
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
res.end()
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
http.createServer(app).listen(3000)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can test this out with the cURL program:
|
|
```sh
|
|
curl -I -H'Accept: text/html' http://localhost:3000/
|
|
```
