Usage

$ npm i --save gengojs-accept

Express

import express from 'express';
import accept from 'gengojs-accept/express';
 
let app = express();
 
app.use(accept());
 
app.use('/', function(req, res, next){
    console.log(req.getLocale());
});
 
// ...

Hapi

import Hapi from 'hapi';
import accept from 'gengojs-accept/hapi';
 
let server = new Hapi.Server();
server.connection({
    port:3000
})
 
server.register(accept(), function(error){
 	if(error) console.log(error);
});
 
server.route({
    method: 'GET',
    path: '/',
    handler: function (request, reply) {
        console.log(request.accept.getLocale());
        reply();
    }
});
 
// ...

Koa

Note: I have not tested Koa's v1.0.0 API but in theory it should work. Please report any bugs if encountered or create a pull request to add tests.

import Koa from 'koa';
import accept from 'gengojs-accept/koa';
 
let app = new Koa();
 
app.use(accept());
 
app.use('/', function (self, next){
    console.log(self.accept.getLocale());
    // or
    console.log(self.request.accept.getLocale());
    // or
    console.log(self.response.accept.getLocale());
});
 
// ...

Standalone

import accept from 'gengojs-accept';
 
// pass the request object from express or hapi 
// or the 'ctx'/'self' context from koa;
let currentLocale = accept(req || ctx, options).getLocale();
