A simple and lightweight NPM package that provides HTTP status codes as easily readable string keys. Instead of remembering numeric HTTP status codes, developers can use intuitive key names like CONTINUE_100, OK_200, NOT_FOUND_404, and INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR_500 to improve code readability and maintainability.
Install the package via npm:
npm install http-status-stringor using yarn:
yarn add http-status-stringImport and use the package in your project:
const { HttpStatus } = require('http-status-string');
console.log(HttpStatus.OK_200); // 200
console.log(HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND_404); // 404
console.log(HttpStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR_500); // 500| Status Code | Name | Description |
