quinn: respond

API

respond({ statusCode, headers, body })

Create a new QuinnResponse. The body can be a string or a buffer. If no body is provided, it defaults to a through stream.

QuinnResponse

.pipe(res)

Forward response to node http response. If you pipe to something that isn't an HTTP response, this will only forward the response body and return a wrapped result. This enables things like:

function handle(req, res) {
    fs.createReadStream('README.md')
        .pipe(respond.text())
        .pipe(toUpperCase()) // pipe the body through a transform stream
        .pipe(res); // headers etc. are preserved
}

The minimum requirement for something to be seen as an HTTP response is the presence of a setHeader method.
