Node.js function to invoke as the final step to respond to HTTP request.
## Installation
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):
```sh $ npm install finalhandler ```
## API
<!-- eslint-disable no-unused-vars -->
```js var finalhandler = require('finalhandler') ```
### finalhandler(req, res, [options])
Returns function to be invoked as the final step for the given `req` and `res`. This function is to be invoked as `fn(err)`. If `err` is falsy, the handler will write out a 404 response to the `res`. If it is truthy, an error response will be written out to the `res`.
When an error is written, the following information is added to the response:
* The `res.statusCode` is set from `err.status` (or `err.statusCode`). If this value is outside the 4xx or 5xx range, it will be set to 500. * The `res.statusMessage` is set according to the status code. * The body will be the HTML of the status code message if `env` is `'production'`, otherwise will be `err.stack`. * Any headers specified in an `err.headers` object.
The final handler will also unpipe anything from `req` when it is invoked.
#### options.env
By default, the environment is determined by `NODE_ENV` variable, but it can be overridden by this option.
#### options.onerror
Provide a function to be called with the `err` when it exists. Can be used for writing errors to a central location without excessive function generation. Called as `onerror(err, req, res)`.
## Examples
### always 404
```js var finalhandler = require('finalhandler') var http = require('http')
var server = http.createServer(function (req, res) { var done = finalhandler(req, res) done() })
server.listen(3000) ```
### perform simple action
```js var finalhandler = require('finalhandler') var fs = require('fs') var http = require('http')
var server = http.createServer(function (req, res) { var done = finalhandler(req, res)
fs.readFile('index.html', function (err, buf) { if (err) return done(err) res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html') res.end(buf) }) })
server.listen(3000) ```
### use with middleware-style functions
```js var finalhandler = require('finalhandler') var http = require('http') var serveStatic = require('serve-static')
var serve = serveStatic('public')
var server = http.createServer(function (req, res) { var done = finalhandler(req, res) serve(req, res, done) })
server.listen(3000) ```
### keep log of all errors
```js var finalhandler = require('finalhandler') var fs = require('fs') var http = require('http')
var server = http.createServer(function (req, res) { var done = finalhandler(req, res, { onerror: logerror })
fs.readFile('index.html', function (err, buf) { if (err) return done(err) res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html') res.end(buf) }) })
server.listen(3000)
function logerror (err) { console.error(err.stack || err.toString()) } ```
