accepts-ext

accepts-ext

This module is express middleware to parse URLs containing file extensions, set the Accept header accordingly, and remove the extension.

I.e., the following request:

GET /widgets.json

becomes:

GET /widgets
Accept: application/json

This is useful in sitations where the it's easier to use a file extension than set headers, such as in a download link.

Installation

$ npm install --save accepts-ext

Usage

import * as acceptsExt from 'accepts-ext'

const app = express();
// ...
app.use(acceptsExt);
