What is @types/express-unless?
@types/express-unless is a TypeScript type definition package for the express-unless middleware. The express-unless middleware is used to conditionally add middleware to express routes based on certain conditions.
What are @types/express-unless's main functionalities?
Conditional Middleware Application
This feature allows you to conditionally apply middleware to routes. In this example, the middleware is skipped for the '/skip' route.
const express = require('express');
const unless = require('express-unless');
const app = express();
const middleware = (req, res, next) => {
res.send('Middleware applied');
};
middleware.unless = unless;
app.use(middleware.unless({ path: ['/skip'] }));
app.get('/', (req, res) => res.send('Hello World!'));
app.get('/skip', (req, res) => res.send('Skipped Middleware'));
app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Server running on port 3000'));
Conditional Middleware with Custom Condition
This feature allows you to use a custom condition to determine whether to apply the middleware. In this example, the middleware is skipped if the request contains a specific custom header.
const express = require('express');
const unless = require('express-unless');
const app = express();
const middleware = (req, res, next) => {
res.send('Middleware applied');
};
middleware.unless = unless;
const customCondition = (req) => req.headers['x-custom-header'] === 'skip';
app.use(middleware.unless(customCondition));
app.get('/', (req, res) => res.send('Hello World!'));
app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Server running on port 3000'));
