parse-post

A function that wraps ordinary request handler and automatically parse posts. It also protects again nuke requests.

Currently works with node.js v0.10.1+.

Examples

var parse_post = require("parse-post");
 
var route = beeline.route({
    "/": function(req, res) {
        "GET": function(req, res) { /*** GET Code ***/ },
        "POST": parse_post(function(req, res) {
            // req.body has parsed POST request body
        })
    }
});
 
http.createServer(route).listen(8014);

Example uses beeline.

The API

• require("parse-post") -- Returns a function that expects a node.js request object and a node.js response object as the first and second parameters.
• require("parse-post").config(opt) -- Creates a new version of parse-post configured with values in by opt:
  • opt.parser -- A function that's used to parse the contents of the parse body. Defaulted to require("querystring").parse
  • opt.limit -- Defines the maximum size in bytes of a post request. Defaulted to 1e6.
  • opt.message -- Error message sent as response body when post request is over opt.limit. Defaulted to "Too much".
  • opt["error-content-type"] -- Content type of the response sent when the post request is over opt.limit. Defaulted to text/plain.
