express-semantic-response

This module extends express' response object with semantic syntactic sugar that makes responding to API requests less error-prone.

To use this module, simply require it and then use the extend function on your app instance.

var express = require('express'),
    semanticResponse = require('express-semantic-response');

var app = express();

semanticResponse.extend(app);

The response object on all requests made to your app will now have all of the helpers defined in this module.

Response Handlers

res.sendDeleted()

When deleting an entity we send a 204 'No Content' status with no body

res.sendCreated(location, body)

When creating an entity we send:

• A location header pointing to the created entity
• The newly created entity as the body
• Status 201 'Created'

Parameters

• location - The location of the created entity to set in the Location header.
• body - The object that was created to send back to the client. This serializes the content using the same semantics as send.
