get([key[,xss]])

  • key <String> optional
  • xss <Boolean> optional

Get the fieldset from url. Just like PHP's $_GET[]; If xss is set to be true, the result will be filtered out with base xss.

// http://test.com?name=foo&age=18
request.get('name') // foo
request.get('age') // 18

// return all if not yet argument given
request.get() // {name: 'foo', age: 18}
request.get('weight') // return null if not exists

post([key[,xss]])

  • key <String> optional
  • xss <Boolean> optional

Get the http body content, just like PHP's $_POST[].

this function must use await/yiled command

// http://test.com
await request.post('name') // foo
await request.post('age') // 18

// return all if not yet argument given
await request.post() // {name: 'foo', age: 18}
await request.post('weight') // return null if not exists

header([key])

  • key <String> optional

return http headers.

request.header('user-agent') // Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 ...

// return all if not yet argument given
request.header() // {'user-agent': '...'[, ...]}

ip()

return the client IP address.

It would return '127.0.0.1' maybe if in local area network.
