Introducing Socket Fix for Safe, Automated Dependency Upgrades
Automatically fix and test dependency updates with socket fix—a new CLI tool that turns CVE alerts into safe, automated upgrades.
The 'methods' npm package provides a list of HTTP methods that are supported by the Node.js core, which can be useful for handling and parsing HTTP requests in web applications. It is often used in conjunction with other packages like Express to ensure consistency in method names and provide utility functions for working with HTTP methods.
List of HTTP methods
This feature provides an array of lower-cased HTTP method names that are supported by the Node.js core. It can be used to iterate over or validate HTTP methods in web applications.
const methods = require('methods');
console.log(methods); // outputs an array of HTTP methods
The 'http' module is a built-in Node.js module that provides utilities for server creation and handling HTTP requests. It does not provide a list of methods like 'methods' does, but it is the core package for handling HTTP in Node.js.
Express is a popular web framework for Node.js that uses the 'methods' package internally to handle routing based on HTTP methods. It provides a more feature-rich API for building web applications, including middleware support, routing, and more.
Koa is another web framework for Node.js that is similar to Express but with a different design philosophy, focusing on a smaller core and using async functions. It does not use the 'methods' package directly but has its own way of handling HTTP methods.
HTTP verbs that Node.js core's HTTP parser supports.
This module provides an export that is just like http.METHODS
from Node.js core,
with the following differences:
http.METHODS
export (0.10 and lower).browserify
without pulling
in the http
shim module.$ npm install methods
var methods = require('methods')
This is an array of lower-cased method names that Node.js supports. If Node.js
provides the http.METHODS
export, then this is the same array lower-cased,
otherwise it is a snapshot of the verbs from Node.js 0.10.
