connect-appender

Middleware to append some text to the body of outgoing responses.

Includes pre-filter and post-filter functions so that it doesn't have to buffer a request we don't care about, and can selectively append text based on the body of the response.

Example

The basic usage:

var connect = require('connect');
var appender = require('connect-appender');
var app = connect()
  .use(appender('zorz\n'))
  .use(function(req, res) {
    res.end('response');
  })
  .listen(9001);

More advanced, choosing which request/responses to affect:

var connect = require('connect');
var appender = require('..');
 
var prefilter = function(req, res) {
  // called before the request is passed through
  //  determines whether to wrap the resulting response
  return /only_here/.test(req.url);
};
 
var postfilter = function(spec) {
  // called as the response is ending
  //  determines whether to append the text
  return !(/not_here/.test(spec.request.url));
};
 
var trailer = function(spec) {
  // called to determine what text to append
  return 'zorz\n' + spec.statusCode + '\n';
};
 
// Spec is generated when ending the response, and looks like: {
//   request: http.ServerRequest,
//   response: http.ServerResponse,
//   statusCode: number,
//   headers: Object.<string, string>,
//   output: string
// }
 
var app = connect()
  .use(appender(trailer, prefilter, postfilter))
  .use(function(req, res) {
    res.end('[' + req.url + ']: response\n');
  })
  .listen(9001);
