						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Node.js compression middleware.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								The following compression codings are supported:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  - deflate
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  - gzip
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								## Install
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								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):
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```bash
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								$ npm install compression
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								## API
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<!-- eslint-disable no-unused-vars -->
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```js
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								var compression = require('compression')
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### compression([options])
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Returns the compression middleware using the given `options`. The middleware
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								will attempt to compress response bodies for all request that traverse through
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								the middleware, based on the given `options`.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								This middleware will never compress responses that include a `Cache-Control`
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								header with the [`no-transform` directive](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7234#section-5.2.2.4),
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								as compressing will transform the body.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								#### Options
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								`compression()` accepts these properties in the options object. In addition to
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								those listed below, [zlib](http://nodejs.org/api/zlib.html) options may be
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								passed in to the options object.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								##### chunkSize
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								The default value is `zlib.Z_DEFAULT_CHUNK`, or `16384`.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								See [Node.js documentation](http://nodejs.org/api/zlib.html#zlib_memory_usage_tuning)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								regarding the usage.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								##### filter
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								A function to decide if the response should be considered for compression.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								This function is called as `filter(req, res)` and is expected to return
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								`true` to consider the response for compression, or `false` to not compress
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								the response.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								The default filter function uses the [compressible](https://www.npmjs.com/package/compressible)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								module to determine if `res.getHeader('Content-Type')` is compressible.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								##### level
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								The level of zlib compression to apply to responses. A higher level will result
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								in better compression, but will take longer to complete. A lower level will
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								result in less compression, but will be much faster.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								This is an integer in the range of `0` (no compression) to `9` (maximum
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								compression). The special value `-1` can be used to mean the "default
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								compression level", which is a default compromise between speed and
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								compression (currently equivalent to level 6).
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  - `-1` Default compression level (also `zlib.Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION`).
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  - `0` No compression (also `zlib.Z_NO_COMPRESSION`).
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  - `1` Fastest compression (also `zlib.Z_BEST_SPEED`).
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  - `2`
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  - `3`
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  - `4`
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  - `5`
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  - `6` (currently what `zlib.Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION` points to).
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  - `7`
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  - `8`
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  - `9` Best compression (also `zlib.Z_BEST_COMPRESSION`).
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								The default value is `zlib.Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION`, or `-1`.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								**Note** in the list above, `zlib` is from `zlib = require('zlib')`.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								##### memLevel
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								This specifies how much memory should be allocated for the internal compression
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								state and is an integer in the range of `1` (minimum level) and `9` (maximum
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								level).
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								The default value is `zlib.Z_DEFAULT_MEMLEVEL`, or `8`.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								See [Node.js documentation](http://nodejs.org/api/zlib.html#zlib_memory_usage_tuning)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								regarding the usage.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								##### strategy
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								This is used to tune the compression algorithm. This value only affects the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								compression ratio, not the correctness of the compressed output, even if it
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								is not set appropriately.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  - `zlib.Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY` Use for normal data.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  - `zlib.Z_FILTERED` Use for data produced by a filter (or predictor).
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    Filtered data consists mostly of small values with a somewhat random
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    distribution. In this case, the compression algorithm is tuned to
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    compress them better. The effect is to force more Huffman coding and less
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    string matching; it is somewhat intermediate between `zlib.Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY`
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    and `zlib.Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY`.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  - `zlib.Z_FIXED` Use to prevent the use of dynamic Huffman codes, allowing
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    for a simpler decoder for special applications.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  - `zlib.Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY` Use to force Huffman encoding only (no string match).
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  - `zlib.Z_RLE` Use to limit match distances to one (run-length encoding).
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    This is designed to be almost as fast as `zlib.Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY`, but give
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    better compression for PNG image data.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								**Note** in the list above, `zlib` is from `zlib = require('zlib')`.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								##### threshold
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								The byte threshold for the response body size before compression is considered
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								for the response, defaults to `1kb`. This is a number of bytes or any string
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								accepted by the [bytes](https://www.npmjs.com/package/bytes) module.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								**Note** this is only an advisory setting; if the response size cannot be determined
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								at the time the response headers are written, then it is assumed the response is
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								_over_ the threshold. To guarantee the response size can be determined, be sure
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								set a `Content-Length` response header.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								##### windowBits
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								The default value is `zlib.Z_DEFAULT_WINDOWBITS`, or `15`.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								See [Node.js documentation](http://nodejs.org/api/zlib.html#zlib_memory_usage_tuning)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								regarding the usage.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								#### .filter
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								The default `filter` function. This is used to construct a custom filter
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								function that is an extension of the default function.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```js
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								var compression = require('compression')
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								var express = require('express')
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								var app = express()
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								app.use(compression({ filter: shouldCompress }))
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								function shouldCompress (req, res) {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  if (req.headers['x-no-compression']) {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    // don't compress responses with this request header
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    return false
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  }
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  // fallback to standard filter function
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  return compression.filter(req, res)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								}
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### res.flush
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								This module adds a `res.flush()` method to force the partially-compressed
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								response to be flushed to the client.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								## Examples
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### express/connect
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								When using this module with express or connect, simply `app.use` the module as
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								high as you like. Requests that pass through the middleware will be compressed.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```js
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								var compression = require('compression')
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								var express = require('express')
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								var app = express()
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								// compress all responses
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								app.use(compression())
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								// add all routes
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### Server-Sent Events
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Because of the nature of compression this module does not work out of the box
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								with server-sent events. To compress content, a window of the output needs to
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								be buffered up in order to get good compression. Typically when using server-sent
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								events, there are certain block of data that need to reach the client.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								You can achieve this by calling `res.flush()` when you need the data written to
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								actually make it to the client.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```js
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								var compression = require('compression')
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								var express = require('express')
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								var app = express()
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								// compress responses
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								app.use(compression())
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								// server-sent event stream
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								app.get('/events', function (req, res) {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/event-stream')
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  res.setHeader('Cache-Control', 'no-cache')
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  // send a ping approx every 2 seconds
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  var timer = setInterval(function () {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    res.write('data: ping\n\n')
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    // !!! this is the important part
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    res.flush()
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  }, 2000)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  res.on('close', function () {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    clearInterval(timer)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  })
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								})
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
