JarCastingCaseless -- wrap an object to set and get property with caseless semantics but also preserve caseing.
This library is incredibly useful when working with HTTP headers. It allows you to get/set/check/delete headers in a caseless manner while also preserving the headers' case when they are first set.
Usage
var headers = {}
, c = caseless(headers)
;
c.set('a-Header', 'asdf')
c.get('a-header') === 'asdf'
has(key)
Has takes a name and if it finds a matching header will return that header name with the preserved caseing it was set with.
c.has('a-header') === 'a-Header'
set(key, value[, clobber=true])
Set is fairly straight forward except that if the header exists and clobber is disabled it will add ','+value to the existing header.
c.set('a-Header', 'fdas')
c.set('a-HEADER', 'more', false)
c.get('a-header') === 'fdsa,more'
swap(key)
Swaps the casing of a header with the new one that is passed in.
var headers = {}
, c = caseless(headers)
;
c.set('a-Header', 'fdas')
c.swap('a-HEADER')
c.has('a-header') === 'a-HEADER'
headers === {'a-HEADER': 'fdas'}
del(key)
Deletes a key and, if there's many instances of the key with multiple cases, all of them.
var headers = {
'a-Header': true,
'content-length': 312,
'Content-Length': 312
}
var c = caseless(headers);
c.del('Content-length');
headers === {
'a-Header': true
};
