Express middleware to replace strings in response stream on the fly
A middleware for Express that allows for stream-based string replacement before sending responses.
Install in your Express project using:
npm install --save string-replace-middleware
After installing, you can add it as a middleware to your project and hand over a map of replacements. To replace every occurence of foo
with bar
.
const express = require('express');
const { stringReplace } = require('string-replace-middleware');
const app = express();
app.use(stringReplace({
'foo': 'bar',
}));
app.listen(3000);
Use it to serve static files with replacements like in this example:
const express = require('express');
const serveStatic = require('serve-static');
const { stringReplace } = require('string-replace-middleware');
const app = express();
app.use(stringReplace({
'foo': 'bar',
}));
app.use(serveStatic('public'));
app.listen(3000);
The Content-Type header of responses is checked against a regex before modification. The regex is configurable by passing in an options object like this:
const options = {
contentTypeFilterRegexp: /^text\/|^application\/json$|^application\/xml$/,
}
app.use(stringReplace({
'foo': 'bar',
}, options));
The default regex is /^text\/|^application\/json$|^application\/xml$/
, which will match text/*
, application/json
, and application/xml
. Any response with a Content-Type header that doesn't match the regex is ignored and passed-through without modification.
Also any response without a Content-Type header is ignored and passed-through without any modification.
