request-favicon

An express.js middleware for handling noisy favicon.ico

Modern browsers usually asks for favicon of the website. Having a favicon in a Web page is a good thing (normally).

However it is not always desired and sometime developers need a way to avoid the extra payload.

Nice way to handle that is to send 204 status code for /favicon.ico requests.

Install

npm install request-favicon

Example

const express = require('express');
const favicon = require('request-favicon');
 
const app = express();
app.use(favicon());
 
// Add your routes here, etc.
 
app.listen(3000);
