Installation is done using the 15 [`npm install` command](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/installing-npm-packages-locally): 16 17 ```sh 18 $ npm install finalhandler 19 ``` 20 21 ## API 22 23 <!-- eslint-disable no-unused-vars --> 24 25 ```js 26 var finalhandler = require('finalhandler') 27 ``` 28 29 ### finalhandler(req, res, [options]) 30 31 Returns function to be invoked as the final step for the given `req` and `res`. 32 This function is to be invoked as `fn(err)`. If `err` is falsy, the handler will 33 write out a 404 response to the `res`. If it is truthy, an error response will 34 be written out to the `res`. 35 36 When an error is written, the following information is added to the response: 37 38 * The `res.statusCode` is set from `err.status` (or `err.statusCode`). If 39 this value is outside the 4xx or 5xx range, it will be set to 500. 40 * The `res.statusMessage` is set according to the status code. 41 * The body will be the HTML of the status code message if `env` is 42 `'production'`, otherwise will be `err.stack`. 43 * Any headers specified in an `err.headers` object. 44 45 The final handler will also unpipe anything from `req` when it is invoked. 46 47 #### options.env 48 49 By default, the environment is determined by `NODE_ENV` variable, but it can be 50 overridden by this option. 51 52 #### options.onerror 53 54 Provide a function to be called with the `err` when it exists. Can be used for 55 writing errors to a central location without excessive function generation. Called 56 as `onerror(err, req, res)`. 57 58 ## Examples 59 60 ### always 404 61 62 ```js 63 var finalhandler = require('finalhandler') 64 var http = require('http') 65 66 var server = http.createServer(function (req, res) { 67 var done = finalhandler(req, res) 68 done() 69 }) 70 71 server.listen(3000) 72 ``` 73 74 ### perform simple action 75 76 ```js 77 var finalhandler = require('finalhandler') 78 var fs = require('fs') 79 var http = require('http') 80 81 var server = http.createServer(function (req, res) { 82 var done = finalhandler(req, res) 83 84 fs.readFile('index.html', function (err, buf) { 85 if (err) return done(err) 86 res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html') 87 res.end(buf) 88 }) 89 }) 90 91 server.listen(3000) 92 ``` 93 94 ### use with middleware-style functions 95 96 ```js 97 var finalhandler = require('finalhandler') 98 var http = require('http') 99 var serveStatic = require('serve-static') 100 101 var serve = serveStatic('public') 102 103 var server = http.createServer(function (req, res) { 104 var done = finalhandler(req, res) 105 serve(req, res, done) 106 }) 107 108 server.listen(3000) 109 ``` 110 111 ### keep log of all errors 112 113 ```js 114 var finalhandler = require('finalhandler') 115 var fs = require('fs') 116 var http = require('http') 117 118 var server = http.createServer(function (req, res) { 119 var done = finalhandler(req, res, { onerror: logerror }) 120 121 fs.readFile('index.html', function (err, buf) { 122 if (err) return done(err) 123 res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html') 124 res.end(buf) 125 }) 126 }) 127 128 server.listen(3000) 129 130 function logerror (err) { 131 console.error(err.stack || err.toString()) 132 } 133 ``` 134 135 ## License 136 137 [MIT](LICENSE) 138 139 [npm-image]: https://img.shields.io/npm/v/finalhandler.svg 140 [npm-url]: https://npmjs.org/package/finalhandler 141 [node-image]: https://img.shields.io/node/v/finalhandler.svg 142 [node-url]: https://nodejs.org/en/download 143 [travis-image]: https://img.shields.io/travis/pillarjs/finalhandler.svg 144 [travis-url]: https://travis-ci.org/pillarjs/finalhandler 145 [coveralls-image]: https://img.shields.io/coveralls/pillarjs/finalhandler.svg 146 [coveralls-url]: https://coveralls.io/r/pillarjs/finalhandler?branch=master 147 [downloads-image]: https://img.shields.io/npm/dm/finalhandler.svg 148 [downloads-url]: https://npmjs.org/package/finalhandler
