| Create and parse HTTP `Content-Disposition` header | |
| ## Installation | |
| ```sh | |
| $ npm install content-disposition | |
| ``` | |
| ## API | |
| ```js | |
| var contentDisposition = require('content-disposition') | |
| ``` | |
| ### contentDisposition(filename, options) | |
| Create an attachment `Content-Disposition` header value using the given file name, | |
| if supplied. The `filename` is optional and if no file name is desired, but you | |
| want to specify `options`, set `filename` to `undefined`. | |
| ```js | |
| res.setHeader('Content-Disposition', contentDisposition('∫ maths.pdf')) | |
| ``` | |
| **note** HTTP headers are of the ISO-8859-1 character set. If you are writing this | |
| header through a means different from `setHeader` in Node.js, you'll want to specify | |
| the `'binary'` encoding in Node.js. | |
| #### Options | |
| `contentDisposition` accepts these properties in the options object. | |
| ##### fallback | |
| If the `filename` option is outside ISO-8859-1, then the file name is actually | |
| stored in a supplemental field for clients that support Unicode file names and | |
| a ISO-8859-1 version of the file name is automatically generated. | |
| This specifies the ISO-8859-1 file name to override the automatic generation or | |
| disables the generation all together, defaults to `true`. | |
| - A string will specify the ISO-8859-1 file name to use in place of automatic | |
| generation. | |
| - `false` will disable including a ISO-8859-1 file name and only include the | |
| Unicode version (unless the file name is already ISO-8859-1). | |
| - `true` will enable automatic generation if the file name is outside ISO-8859-1. | |
| If the `filename` option is ISO-8859-1 and this option is specified and has a | |
| different value, then the `filename` option is encoded in the extended field | |
| and this set as the fallback field, even though they are both ISO-8859-1. | |
| ##### type | |
| Specifies the disposition type, defaults to `"attachment"`. This can also be | |
| `"inline"`, or any other value (all values except inline are treated like | |
| `attachment`, but can convey additional information if both parties agree to | |
| it). The type is normalized to lower-case. | |
| ### contentDisposition.parse(string) | |
| ```js | |
| var disposition = contentDisposition.parse('attachment; filename="EURO rates.txt"; filename*=UTF-8\'\'%e2%82%ac%20rates.txt') | |
| ``` | |
| Parse a `Content-Disposition` header string. This automatically handles extended | |
| ("Unicode") parameters by decoding them and providing them under the standard | |
| parameter name. This will return an object with the following properties (examples | |
| are shown for the string `'attachment; filename="EURO rates.txt"; filename*=UTF-8\'\'%e2%82%ac%20rates.txt'`): | |
| - `type`: The disposition type (always lower case). Example: `'attachment'` | |
| - `parameters`: An object of the parameters in the disposition (name of parameter | |
| always lower case and extended versions replace non-extended versions). Example: | |
| `{filename: "€ rates.txt"}` | |
| ## Examples | |
| ### Send a file for download | |
| ```js | |
| var contentDisposition = require('content-disposition') | |
| var destroy = require('destroy') | |
| var fs = require('fs') | |
| var http = require('http') | |
| var onFinished = require('on-finished') | |
| var filePath = '/path/to/public/plans.pdf' | |
| http.createServer(function onRequest (req, res) { | |
| // set headers | |
| res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/pdf') | |
| res.setHeader('Content-Disposition', contentDisposition(filePath)) | |
| // send file | |
| var stream = fs.createReadStream(filePath) | |
| stream.pipe(res) | |
| onFinished(res, function () { | |
| destroy(stream) | |
| }) | |
| }) | |
| ``` | |
| ## Testing | |
| ```sh | |
| $ npm test | |
| ``` | |
