The Unpaid Backbone of Open Source: Solo Maintainers Face Increasing Security Demands
Solo open source maintainers face burnout and security challenges, with 60% unpaid and 60% considering quitting.
koa-body-parsers
Advanced tools
A more functional version of body parsing. Use this module if you want to "lazily" parse the body. Other middleware automatically parse the body in the middleware chain, which might not be ideal as business logic like authentication, authorization, and routing are not done prior to body parsing.
Includes a json
and urlencoded
parsers.
Initialization:
import koaBodyParsers from 'koa-body-parsers'
import Koa from 'koa'
const app = new Koa()
koaBodyParsers(app)
// example usage
app.use(async (ctx) => {
const currentUser = UserService.getCurrentUser(ctx)
ctx.assert(currentUser, 401)
ctx.assert(ctx.request.is('json'), 415)
const body = await ctx.request.json('100kb')
ctx.body = body
})
Because this module is a plugin for the context
, the API signature is different.
Expect: 100-continue
is automatically supported as long as you use app.listen()
.
Otherwise, create your server like this:
const fn = app.callback();
const server = http.createServer(); // or whatever server you use
server.on('request', fn); // regular requests
server.on('checkContinue', function (req, res) {
// tag requests with `Expect: 100-continue`
req.checkContinue = true;
fn(req, res);
});
If Expect: 100-continue
was sent to the client,
this will automatically response with a "100-continue".
Use this right before parsing the body.
Automatically called by all following body parsers,
but you would still have to call it if you're doing something like:
app.use(async (ctx) => {
if (ctx.request.is('image/*')) {
ctx.response.writeContinue();
const buffer = await ctx.request.buffer()
}
})
Get the JSON body of the request, if any.
limit
defaults to 100kb
.
Get the traditional form body of the request, if any,
limit
defaults to 100kb
.
Get the body of the request as a single text
string.
limit
defaults to 100kb
.
You could use this to create your own request body parser of some sort.
Get the body of the request as a single Buffer
instance.
limit
defaults to 1mb
.
