| Manipulate the HTTP Vary header |
| |
| ## Installation |
| |
| This is a [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) module available through the |
| [npm registry](https://www.npmjs.com/). Installation is done using the |
| [`npm install` command](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/installing-npm-packages-locally): |
| |
| ```sh |
| $ npm install vary |
| ``` |
| |
| ## API |
| |
| <!-- eslint-disable no-unused-vars --> |
| |
| ```js |
| var vary = require('vary') |
| ``` |
| |
| ### vary(res, field) |
| |
| Adds the given header `field` to the `Vary` response header of `res`. |
| This can be a string of a single field, a string of a valid `Vary` |
| header, or an array of multiple fields. |
| |
| This will append the header if not already listed, otherwise leaves |
| it listed in the current location. |
| |
| <!-- eslint-disable no-undef --> |
| |
| ```js |
| // Append "Origin" to the Vary header of the response |
| vary(res, 'Origin') |
| ``` |
| |
| ### vary.append(header, field) |
| |
| Adds the given header `field` to the `Vary` response header string `header`. |
| This can be a string of a single field, a string of a valid `Vary` header, |
| or an array of multiple fields. |
| |
| This will append the header if not already listed, otherwise leaves |
| it listed in the current location. The new header string is returned. |
| |
| <!-- eslint-disable no-undef --> |
| |
| ```js |
| // Get header string appending "Origin" to "Accept, User-Agent" |
| vary.append('Accept, User-Agent', 'Origin') |
| ``` |
| |
| ## Examples |
| |
| ### Updating the Vary header when content is based on it |
| |
| ```js |
| var http = require('http') |
| var vary = require('vary') |
| |
| http.createServer(function onRequest (req, res) { |
| // about to user-agent sniff |
| vary(res, 'User-Agent') |
| |
| var ua = req.headers['user-agent'] || '' |
| var isMobile = /mobi|android|touch|mini/i.test(ua) |
| |
| // serve site, depending on isMobile |
| res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html') |
| res.end('You are (probably) ' + (isMobile ? '' : 'not ') + 'a mobile user') |
| }) |
| ``` |
| |
