res.vary() Method in Express.js
The res.vary() method can be used for adding the field to the Vary response header, if the field does not already exist there. The vary header is basically used for content negotiation.
Syntax
res.vary( field )
Example 1
Create a file with the name "resVary.js" and copy the following code snippet. After creating the file, use the command "node resVary.js" to run this code as shown in the example below −
// res.vary() Method Demo Example // Importing the express module var express = require('express'); // Initializing the express and port number var app = express(); // Initializing the router from express var router = express.Router(); var PORT = 3000; // Defining an endpoint app.get('/api', function(req, res){ res.vary('User-Agent').end(); console.log("User-Agent field added to the Vary header."); }); app.listen(PORT, function(err){ if (err) console.log(err); console.log("Server listening on PORT", PORT); });
Hit the following Endpoint with a GET request − http://localhost:3000/api
Output
C:\home
ode>> node resVary.js Server listening on PORT 3000 User-Agent field added to the Vary header.
Example 2
Let's take a look at one more example.
// res.vary() Method Demo Example // Importing the express module var express = require('express'); // Initializing the express and port number var app = express(); // Initializing the router from express var router = express.Router(); var PORT = 3000; // Defining an endpoint app.use('/api', function(req, res, next){ // Adding the header and then calling the middleware res.vary('User-Agent').send("User-Agent field added to the Vary header."); // Calling the middleware's next API next(); }) app.get('/api', function(req, res){ console.log('Headers Modified'); }); app.listen(PORT, function(err){ if (err) console.log(err); console.log("Server listening on PORT", PORT); });
Hit the following Endpoint with a GET Request − http://localhost:3000/api
Output
C:\home
ode>> node resVary.js Server listening on PORT 3000 Headers Modified
