allow-methods
Advanced tools
Express/connect middleware to handle 405 errors, when a request method is not supported by your route or application.
This library requires the following to run:
Install with npm:
npm install allow-methods
Load the library into your code with a require
call:
const allowMethods = require('allow-methods');
allowMethods
will return a middleware function that will error if the request method does not match one of the allowed methods. The error will have message
and status
properties which you can use.
It accepts two arguments. Firstly, an array of allowed methods:
allowMethods(['get', 'head', 'post']);
Secondly (optionally) a message which will be used in the error if the request message does not match:
allowMethods(['get', 'head'], 'Unsupported method');
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
app
.route('/example')
// Only requests with a GET/HEAD method will continue
.all(allowMethods(['get', 'head']))
// Define GET handler
.get(function () { ... });
If you want to do something useful with the error, for example output a sensible JSON response, you will need to define an error handler for your application (after the route definition):
app.use(function (error, requst, response, next) {
response.status(error.status || 500).send({
message: error.message
});
});
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
// Only allow GET/HEAD methods across the entire application
app.use(allowMethods(['get', 'head']));
