steal-push is server middleware for HTTP2 push. Using steal-tools you can create a bundle manifest that species which modules need to be loaded for each bundle. steal-push uses this manifest file to push files when a given route is used.
steal-push also works with HTTP1 servers, adding a Link header which tells the browser to begin fetching/parsing the assets.
npm install steal-push --save
Before using steal-push you must generate a bundle manifest from steal-tools like so:
stealTools.build(config, {
bundleManifest: true
});
steal-push can be used in plain Node web servers, or in express apps.
const http2 = require("spdy");
const stealPush = require("steal-push");
const pushMain = stealPush("main");
const pushOrders = stealPush("orders");
function app(req, res) {
if(req.url === "/") {
pushMain(req, res);
res.send("<body>Hello world!</body>");
} else {
pushOrders(req, res);
res.send("<body><h1>Orders</h1> ... </body>");
}
}
spdy.createServer({
key: fs.readFileSync("path/to/key.pem"),
cert: fs.readFileSync("path/to/cert.pem"),
spdy: {
protocols: ["h2", "http/1.1"]
}
}, app).listen(8080);
const express = require("express");
const fs = require("fs");
const stealPush = require("steal-push");
const spdy = require("spdy");
const app = express();
const server = spdy.createServer({
key: fs.readFileSync("path/to/key.pem"),
cert: fs.readFileSync("path/to/cert.pem"),
spdy: {
protocols: ["h2", "http/1.1"]
}
}, app);
app.get("/",
stealPush("main"),
function(req, res){
// Resources have already been pushed, just send the html
res.send("<body>Hello world!</body>");
});
app.get("/order/details",
stealPush("orders"),
function(req, res){
res.send("<body><h1>Orders</h1> ... </body>");
});
server.listen(8080);
The StealPush constructor can be used to configure things such as the server root, and the location of the manifest file. Typical usage looks like:
const StealPush = require("steal-push").StealPush;
const stealPush = new StealPush({
manifest: "dist/bundles.json",
root: __dirname + "/assets",
serverRoot: "/app"
});
app.get("/",
stealPush.for("main"),
function(req, res){
...
});
The for() method on the StealPush object is used to create a function that takes a request and response object.
