Koa Compress

Compress middleware for Koa

forked from koa-compress, support brotli compression.

Example

var compress = require('koa-compress')
var Koa = require('koa')

var app = new Koa()
app.use(compress(
  /* compress Options(gzip) */
  {
    filter: function (content_type) {
  	  return /text/i.test(content_type)
    },
    threshold: 2048,
    flush: require('zlib').Z_SYNC_FLUSH
  },
  /* brOptions */
  { iltorb: true }
))

brOptions

iltorb: Replace zlib with iltorb module for br compression (The iltorb module is faster than zlib compression). You must download the iltorb module yourself.

If you use the zlib module: https://nodejs.org/api/zlib.html#zlib_class_brotlioptions

If you use the iltorb module: https://github.com/nstepien/iltorb

Options

The options are passed to zlib: https://nodejs.org/api/zlib.html#zlib_class_optionsz

filter

An optional function that checks the response content type to decide whether to compress. By default, it uses compressible.

threshold

Minimum response size in bytes to compress. Default 1024 bytes or 1kb.

Manually turning compression on and off

You can always enable compression by setting this.compress = true. You can always disable compression by setting this.compress = false. This bypasses the filter check.

app.use((ctx, next) => {
  ctx.compress = true
  ctx.body = fs.createReadStream(file)
})
