How to use the default function from http-status-codes

http-status-codes.default is a JavaScript library that provides a collection of HTTP status codes and messages as constants.

How does http-status-codes.default work?

http-status-codes.default is a JavaScript library that provides a collection of HTTP status codes and messages as constants.

To use the library, you must first install it as a dependency in your project:

luaCopy code
npm install http-status-codes --save

You can then import the library and use its constants in your code:

javascriptCopy code
const httpStatus = require('http-status-codes');

console.log(httpStatus.OK); // 200
console.log(httpStatus.getStatusText(httpStatus.OK)); // "OK"

In this example, we first import the http-status-codes module using require.

We can then use the constants provided by the library to reference common HTTP status codes, such as httpStatus.OK for a 200 OK response.

We can also use the getStatusText method to retrieve the message associated with a given status code, such as httpStatus.getStatusText(httpStatus.OK) which returns "OK".

Overall, http-status-codes.default provides a convenient way to work with HTTP status codes and messages in JavaScript, improving the readability and maintainability of your code.

const http = require("http");
const httpStatus = require("http-status-codes");

const server = http.createServer((request, response) => {
  const { url } = request;

  if (url === "/success") {
    response.writeHead(httpStatus.OK, { "Content-Type": "text/plain" });
    response.write("Success!");
    response.end();
  } else if (url === "/not-found") {
    response.writeHead(httpStatus.NOT_FOUND, { "Content-Type": "text/plain" });
    response.write("Not Found");
    response.end();
  } else {
    response.writeHead(httpStatus.BAD_REQUEST, {
      "Content-Type": "text/plain",
    });
    response.write("Bad Request");
    response.end();
  }
});

server.listen(3000);

In this example, we first import the http module, as well as http-status-codes, using require. We then create a new HTTP server using the createServer method of http. The server is configured to handle incoming requests by checking the URL and returning a corresponding HTTP response. If the URL is /success, the server returns a 200 OK response with the message "Success!". If the URL is /not-found, the server returns a 404 Not Found response with the message "Not Found". For all other URLs, the server returns a 400 Bad Request response with the message "Bad Request". We start the server by calling its listen method and specifying the port to listen on. This example demonstrates how http-status-codes.default can be used to handle HTTP responses in a Node.js application, making it easy to generate consistent and meaningful status codes and messages.
