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)
})
})
```
