Manipulate the HTTP Vary header | |
## 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 vary | |
``` | |
## API | |
<!-- eslint-disable no-unused-vars --> | |
```js | |
var vary = require('vary') | |
``` | |
### vary(res, field) | |
Adds the given header `field` to the `Vary` response header of `res`. | |
This can be a string of a single field, a string of a valid `Vary` | |
header, or an array of multiple fields. | |
This will append the header if not already listed, otherwise leaves | |
it listed in the current location. | |
<!-- eslint-disable no-undef --> | |
```js | |
// Append "Origin" to the Vary header of the response | |
vary(res, 'Origin') | |
``` | |
### vary.append(header, field) | |
Adds the given header `field` to the `Vary` response header string `header`. | |
This can be a string of a single field, a string of a valid `Vary` header, | |
or an array of multiple fields. | |
This will append the header if not already listed, otherwise leaves | |
it listed in the current location. The new header string is returned. | |
<!-- eslint-disable no-undef --> | |
```js | |
// Get header string appending "Origin" to "Accept, User-Agent" | |
vary.append('Accept, User-Agent', 'Origin') | |
``` | |
## Examples | |
### Updating the Vary header when content is based on it | |
```js | |
var http = require('http') | |
var vary = require('vary') | |
http.createServer(function onRequest (req, res) { | |
// about to user-agent sniff | |
vary(res, 'User-Agent') | |
var ua = req.headers['user-agent'] || '' | |
var isMobile = /mobi|android|touch|mini/i.test(ua) | |
// serve site, depending on isMobile | |
res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html') | |
res.end('You are (probably) ' + (isMobile ? '' : 'not ') + 'a mobile user') | |
}) | |
``` | |
## Testing | |
```sh | |
$ npm test | |
``` | |
