@types/send

Serving a file

This code demonstrates how to serve a file using the 'send' package. It creates an HTTP server that listens on port 3000 and uses the 'send' function to stream a file from the file system to the response. The @types/send package provides type definitions for this usage.

import send from 'send';
import http from 'http';

http.createServer((req, res) => {
  send(req, '/path/to/file.txt').pipe(res);
}).listen(3000);

Setting custom headers

This example shows how to set custom HTTP headers before sending the file. It listens for the 'headers' event and then sets the 'Cache-Control' header. The @types/send package provides type definitions for these event handlers and method chaining.

import send from 'send';
import http from 'http';

http.createServer((req, res) => {
  send(req, '/path/to/file.txt')
    .on('headers', (res, path, stat) => {
      res.setHeader('Cache-Control', 'public, max-age=3600');
    })
    .pipe(res);
}).listen(3000);
