Higher level content negotiation based on [negotiator](https://www.npmjs.com/package/negotiator).Extracted from [koa](https://www.npmjs.com/package/koa) for general use.
In addition to negotiator, it allows:
- Allows types as an array or arguments list, ie `(['text/html', 'application/json'])` as well as `('text/html', 'application/json')`.- Allows type shorthands such as `json`.- Returns `false` when no types match- Treats non-existent headers as `*`
## 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 accepts```
## API
```jsvar accepts = require('accepts')```
### accepts(req)
Create a new `Accepts` object for the given `req`.
#### .charset(charsets)
Return the first accepted charset. If nothing in `charsets` is accepted,then `false` is returned.
#### .charsets()
Return the charsets that the request accepts, in the order of the client'spreference (most preferred first).
#### .encoding(encodings)
Return the first accepted encoding. If nothing in `encodings` is accepted,then `false` is returned.
#### .encodings()
Return the encodings that the request accepts, in the order of the client'spreference (most preferred first).
#### .language(languages)
Return the first accepted language. If nothing in `languages` is accepted,then `false` is returned.
#### .languages()
Return the languages that the request accepts, in the order of the client'spreference (most preferred first).
#### .type(types)
Return the first accepted type (and it is returned as the same text as whatappears in the `types` array). If nothing in `types` is accepted, then `false`is returned.
The `types` array can contain full MIME types or file extensions. Any valuethat is not a full MIME types is passed to `require('mime-types').lookup`.
#### .types()
Return the types that the request accepts, in the order of the client'spreference (most preferred first).
## Examples
### Simple type negotiation
This simple example shows how to use `accepts` to return a different typedrespond body based on what the client wants to accept. The server lists it'spreferences in order and will get back the best match between the client andserver.
```jsvar accepts = require('accepts')var http = require('http')
function app (req, res) { var accept = accepts(req)
// the order of this list is significant; should be server preferred order switch (accept.type(['json', 'html'])) { case 'json': res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json') res.write('{"hello":"world!"}') break case 'html': res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html') res.write('<b>hello, world!</b>') break default: // the fallback is text/plain, so no need to specify it above res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain') res.write('hello, world!') break }
res.end()}
http.createServer(app).listen(3000)```
You can test this out with the cURL program:```shcurl -I -H'Accept: text/html' http://localhost:3000/```
