An HTTP content negotiator for Node.js | |
## Installation | |
```sh | |
$ npm install negotiator | |
``` | |
## API | |
```js | |
var Negotiator = require('negotiator') | |
``` | |
### Accept Negotiation | |
```js | |
availableMediaTypes = ['text/html', 'text/plain', 'application/json'] | |
// The negotiator constructor receives a request object | |
negotiator = new Negotiator(request) | |
// Let's say Accept header is 'text/html, application/*;q=0.2, image/jpeg;q=0.8' | |
negotiator.mediaTypes() | |
// -> ['text/html', 'image/jpeg', 'application/*'] | |
negotiator.mediaTypes(availableMediaTypes) | |
// -> ['text/html', 'application/json'] | |
negotiator.mediaType(availableMediaTypes) | |
// -> 'text/html' | |
``` | |
You can check a working example at `examples/accept.js`. | |
#### Methods | |
##### mediaType() | |
Returns the most preferred media type from the client. | |
##### mediaType(availableMediaType) | |
Returns the most preferred media type from a list of available media types. | |
##### mediaTypes() | |
Returns an array of preferred media types ordered by the client preference. | |
##### mediaTypes(availableMediaTypes) | |
Returns an array of preferred media types ordered by priority from a list of | |
available media types. | |
### Accept-Language Negotiation | |
```js | |
negotiator = new Negotiator(request) | |
availableLanguages = ['en', 'es', 'fr'] | |
// Let's say Accept-Language header is 'en;q=0.8, es, pt' | |
negotiator.languages() | |
// -> ['es', 'pt', 'en'] | |
negotiator.languages(availableLanguages) | |
// -> ['es', 'en'] | |
language = negotiator.language(availableLanguages) | |
// -> 'es' | |
``` | |
You can check a working example at `examples/language.js`. | |
#### Methods | |
##### language() | |
Returns the most preferred language from the client. | |
##### language(availableLanguages) | |
Returns the most preferred language from a list of available languages. | |
##### languages() | |
Returns an array of preferred languages ordered by the client preference. | |
##### languages(availableLanguages) | |
Returns an array of preferred languages ordered by priority from a list of | |
available languages. | |
### Accept-Charset Negotiation | |
```js | |
availableCharsets = ['utf-8', 'iso-8859-1', 'iso-8859-5'] | |
negotiator = new Negotiator(request) | |
// Let's say Accept-Charset header is 'utf-8, iso-8859-1;q=0.8, utf-7;q=0.2' | |
negotiator.charsets() | |
// -> ['utf-8', 'iso-8859-1', 'utf-7'] | |
negotiator.charsets(availableCharsets) | |
// -> ['utf-8', 'iso-8859-1'] | |
negotiator.charset(availableCharsets) | |
// -> 'utf-8' | |
``` | |
You can check a working example at `examples/charset.js`. | |

##### charsets() | |
Returns an array of preferred charsets ordered by the client preference. | |
##### charsets(availableCharsets) | |

available charsets. | |
### Accept-Encoding Negotiation | |
```js | |
availableEncodings = ['identity', 'gzip'] | |
negotiator = new Negotiator(request) | |
// Let's say Accept-Encoding header is 'gzip, compress;q=0.2, identity;q=0.5' | |
negotiator.encodings() | |
// -> ['gzip', 'identity', 'compress'] | |
negotiator.encodings(availableEncodings) | |
// -> ['gzip', 'identity'] | |
