express-standard

Easy method to define standard express headers and assist with Content-Security-Policy (CSP) including social media widgets

Install 🔨

npm install express-standard

Usage 🔧

headers = require('express-standard');
 
headers.set({
    "x-powered-by": "Awesomeness"
}));
 
headers.add({
    "Content-Security-Policy": "default-src 'self'"
});
 
headers.add_csp(area, value); // optional area, set to value
headers.add_csp_self(area);   // add 'self' to an area, default area is 'default'
headers.add_csp('https:');    // now "Basic-Content-Security": "default-src 'self' https:"
headers.add_csp('*','http:'); // add http: to all *-src 
headers.add_csp('style', 'http://yui.yahooapis.com'); // allow PureCSS stylesheet
headers.add_csp_report('script', 'https:');    // report script-src events
headers.add_csp('report-uri', '/csp_report');  // set report callback
headers.add_csp_allow_unsafe('script', notEval); // if notEval is set to true then unsafe_eval is not included, default area is script 
headers.add_domain('mydomain.com', protocols); // default protocols: http://, https:// & ws:// 
headers.add_domain('mydomain.com', 'https://', true); // https only and all subdomain included
headers.add_domain('style', 'yui.yahooapis.com'); // allow PureCss stylesheet over all protocols
headers.add_domain('script', ['cdnjs', '*.google.com']); // multiple domains can be supplied as an array
headers.add_domain('default,script,style', 'localhost'); // multiple areas comma delimited
headers.add_csp_social_widgets(); // default is ['facebook', 'twitter', 'google+']
headers.add_csp_youtube();  // allow youtube
headers.add_csp_firebase(); // allow firebase
 
app.use(headers.handle);
 
 

add_csp areas are as per http://www.w3.org/TR/CSP/ -src can be omitted, ex: instead of headers.add_csp('frame-src', 'http:') you could specify headers.add_csp('frame', 'http:')

add_csp_allow_unsafe() is best avoided as per content security policy; however, it is included to assist with transitioning to using CSP

For sample report-uri data and social media attribution see: content-security-policy

add_social_widgets() can accept a comma delimited string, ex: facebook,twitter

SSL Only Basic Content Security Policy 💡

ssl_only = "default-src https:; script-src https: 'unsafe-inline'; style-src https: 'unsafe-inline'";
 
app.use(headers.set("Basic-Content-Security": ssl_only));
