hapi-etagger

Hapi plug-in for etags and HTTP 304 support. It utilizes the popular etag library.

Tested with Node 12/13 and Hapi 19. Should also work with Hapi 17 and 18.

Install

npm install hapi-etagger

Purpose

This plug-in provides a simple way to support etags and HTTP 304.

By default, it adds etags and HTTP 304 support to all requests that meet the following criteria:

• method is GET
• status code is 2xx
• response payload is a String, a stringifyable object or a Buffer

It is possible to opt-out.

Usage

Register the plugin with Hapi server like this:

const Hapi = require('@hapi/hapi');
const etags = require('hapi-etagger');

const server = new Hapi.Server({
  port: 3000,
});

const provision = async () => {
  await server.register(etags);
  // ...
  await server.start();
};

provision();

You can opt-out by route configuration, e.g.:

server.route({
  method: 'GET',
  path: '/example/{id}',
  options: {
    // ...
    plugins: {
      'hapi-etagger': {
        enabled: false, // opt-out
      },
    },
  },
  // ...
});
