An HTTP content negotiator for node.js written in javascript.

Accept Negotiation

Negotiator = require('negotiator')

availableMediaTypes = ['text/html', 'text/plain', 'application/json']

// The negotiator constructor receives a request object
negotiator = new Negotiator(request)

// Let's say Accept header is 'text/html, application/*;q=0.2, image/jpeg;q=0.8'

negotiator.preferredMediaTypes()
// -> ['text/html', 'image/jpeg', 'application/*']

negotiator.preferredMediaTypes(availableMediaTypes)
// -> ['text/html', 'application/json']

negotiator.preferredMediaType(availableMediaTypes)
// -> 'text/html'

You can check a working example at examples/accept.js.

Methods

preferredMediaTypes(availableMediaTypes):

Returns an array of preferred media types ordered by priority from a list of available media types.

preferredMediaType(availableMediaType):

Returns the top preferred media type from a list of available media types.

Accept-Language Negotiation

Negotiator = require('negotiator')

negotiator = new Negotiator(request)

availableLanguages = 'en', 'es', 'fr'

// Let's say Accept-Language header is 'en;q=0.8, es, pt'

negotiator.preferredLanguages()
// -> ['es', 'pt', 'en']

negotiator.preferredLanguages(availableLanguages)
// -> ['es', 'en']

language = negotiator.preferredLanguage(availableLanguages)
// -> 'es'

Accept-Language Negotiation

(WARNING: This is not an already standard header, so browsers don't actually send it, nor is planned to be a standard header)

Negotiator = require('negotiator')

negotiator = new Negotiator(request)

availableCurrencies = 'usd', 'eur', 'aud'

// Let's say Accept-Currency header is 'usd;q=0.8, eur, chf'

negotiator.preferredCurrencies()
// -> ['usd', 'eur', 'chf']

negotiator.preferredCurrencies(availableCurrencies)
// -> ['eur', 'usd']

currency = negotiator.preferredCurrency(availableCurrencies)
// -> 'eur'

You can check a working example at examples/currency.js.

// Let's say Accept-Charset header is 'utf-8, iso-8859-1;q=0.8, utf-7;q=0.2'

negotiator.preferredCharsets()
// -> ['utf-8', 'iso-8859-1', 'utf-7']

negotiator.preferredCharsets(availableCharsets)
// -> ['utf-8', 'iso-8859-1']
