XML Middleware

A simple middleware for expressjs which allow an easy setup for xml support. Apart from that it also provides a standard response object for consistency.

Installing

Using npm:

npm install @navneetlal/xml-middleware --save

Using yarn:

yarn add @navneetlal/xml-middleware

Usage

body-parser or other (which can parse request body to text) is required for this middleware to work.

CommonJS usage

const xmlMiddleware = require('@navneetlal/xml-middleware');
const { text as textParserMiddleware } = require('body-parser');

app.use(textParserMiddleware({ type: ['xml', '+xml', 'text/xml'] }));
app.use(xmlMiddleware());

Now in order to send response, use res.sendResponse() instead of standard method provided by express.

You can also make use of ServerResponse class to construct a response object

const responseObject = new ServerResponse(true, 'Success')
responseObject.results = { some: 'json' }

res.sendResponse(responseObject)
res.sendResponse(400, new ServerResponse(false, 'Oops! Somethings doesn\'t look right'))

Typescript usage

This package is built on typescript and provides full support for the same.
