@routes/isbot
π· Express middleware to detect crawler requests: request.isbot
The middleware adds a getter to the request: isbot
.
-
β Lazy processing: performs the check only if it's actually used -
β Memoisation: Operation result is cached -
β Quick and Simple: Only check if it's a known crawler, does not parse the user agent string to a complex object -
β Customisable bot list
const isbot = require('@routes/isbot');
app.use(isbot);
app.get('/api', (request, response) => {
if (request.isbot) {
// do things
}
...
response.sendStatus(200);
});
