pillarjsfinalhandler
Node.js function to invoke as the final step to respond to HTTP request.
Installation
This is a Node.js module available through the
npm registry. Installation is done using the
npm install command:
$ npm install finalhandlerAPI
var finalhandler = require('finalhandler')finalhandler(req, res, [options])
Returns function to be invoked as the final step for the given req and res.
This function is to be invoked as fn(err). If err is falsy, the handler will
write out a 404 response to the res. If it is truthy, an error response will
be written out to the res or res will be terminated if a response has already
started.
When an error is written, the following information is added to the response:
- The
res.statusCodeis set fromerr.status(orerr.statusCode). If this value is outside the 4xx or 5xx range, it will be set to 500. - The
res.statusMessageis set according to the status code. - The body will be the HTML of the status code message if
envis'production', otherwise will beerr.stack. - Any headers specified in an
err.headersobject.
The final handler will also unpipe anything from req when it is invoked.
options.env
By default, the environment is determined by NODE_ENV variable, but it can be
overridden by this option.
options.onerror
Provide a function to be called with the err when it exists. Can be used for
writing errors to a central location without excessive function generation. Called
as onerror(err, req, res).
