Example

Registration

Registration with custom quality default:

'use strict';

const Hapi = require('@hapi/hapi');
const Brok = require('brok');

const server = new Hapi.Server({ port: 3000, compression: { minBytes: 1 } });

const provision = async () => {

    server.route({
        method: 'GET',
        path: '/fetch',
        handler() {

            return 'ok';
        }
    });

    await server.register({
        plugin: Brok,
        options: {
            compress: { quality: 3 }
        }
    });

    await server.start();

    console.log('Server running at:', server.info.uri);
};

provision();

Usage

Once registered, brok enables the server to negotiate and handle the "br" encoding for compressible responses and uploads.

Registration options

brok accepts the following registration options:

• compress - compression settings. Set to false to disable response compression using brotli.
  • quality - used to adjust compression speed vs quality from 0 to 11. Defaults to 5.
  • mode - compression mode. Available values:
    • 'generic' - default compression mode. Default value.
    • 'text' - optimize for UTF-8 formatted text input.
• decompress - if true, also register the encoding for decompressing incoming payloads. Defaults to false.

Compression options

Route specific settings can be set using br object in the compression config. Eg.

server.route({
    method: 'GET',
    path: '/text',
    options: {
        handler() {

            return 'hello!';
        },
        compression: {
            br: { mode: 'text' }
        }
    }
});
