Express ping middleware
npm install --save @wdalmut/ping
A simple ping middleware (routing), when you go to /v1/ping
the middleware
reply with a fixed status code (like: "200 OK") and a fixed body (like: {ping: true}
).
How to use it
Just attach as a middlware
const express = require('express')
const ping = require('@wdalmut/ping')
const app = express()
app.use(ping()) // here the ping
// your normal routing
app.get('/test', (req, res) => {
return res.json("OK")
})
Override options
You can override few options
app.use(ping({
ping_path: '/ping',
ping_response_body: 'OK',
ping_status_code: 200,
})) // here the ping
- Ping path -
ping_path
a new ping path - Ping response body -
ping_response_body
a new response body (will be converted in json - Ping response status code -
ping_status_code
a new status code
For example you can set the 204 no content
app.use(ping({
ping_status_code: 204,
ping_response_body: undefined, // the undefined force the empty response
})
