API

response.header

Response header object.

response.headers

Response header object. Alias as response.header.

response.socket

Request socket.

response.status

Get response status. By default, response.status is set to 404 unlike node's res.statusCode which defaults to 200.

❗response.status=

response.message

Get response status message. By default, response.message is associated with response.status.

response.message=

Set response status message to the given value.

response.length=

Set response Content-Length to the given value.

response.length

Return response Content-Length as a number when present, or deduce from ctx.body when possible, or undefined.

response.body

Get response body.

❗response.body=

Set response body to one of the following:

• string written
• Buffer written
• Stream piped
• Object || Array json-stringified
• null no content response

If response.status has not been set, Koa will automatically set the status to 200 or 204.

Koa doesn't guard against everything that could be put as a response body -- a function doesn't serialise meaningfully, returning a boolean may make sense based on your application, and while an error works, it may not work as intended as some properties of an error are not enumerable. We recommend adding middleware in your app that asserts body types per app. A sample middleware might be:

app.use(async (ctx, next) => {
  await next()

  ctx.assert.equal('object', typeof ctx, 500, 'some dev did something wrong')
})

String

The Content-Type is defaulted to text/html or text/plain, both with a default charset of utf-8. The Content-Length field is also set.

Buffer

The Content-Type is defaulted to application/octet-stream, and Content-Length is also set.

Stream

The Content-Type is defaulted to application/octet-stream.

Whenever a stream is set as the response body, .onerror is automatically added as a listener to the error event to catch any errors. In addition, whenever the request is closed (even prematurely), the stream is destroyed. If you do not want these two features, do not set the stream as the body directly. For example, you may not want this when setting the body as an HTTP stream in a proxy as it would destroy the underlying connection.

See: https://github.com/koajs/koa/pull/612 for more information.

Here's an example of stream error handling without automatically destroying the stream:

const PassThrough = require('stream').PassThrough

app.use(async (ctx) => {
  ctx.body = someHTTPStream.on('error', ctx.onerror).pipe(PassThrough())
})

Object

The Content-Type is defaulted to application/json. This includes plain objects { foo: 'bar' } and arrays ['foo', 'bar'].

response.get(field)

Get a response header field value with case-insensitive field.

const etag = ctx.response.get('ETag')

response.set(field, value)

Set response header field to value:

ctx.set('Cache-Control', 'no-cache')

response.append(field, value)

Append additional header field with value val.

ctx.append('Link', '<http://127.0.0.1/>')

response.set(fields)

Set several response header fields with an object:

ctx.set({
  Etag: '1234',
  'Last-Modified': date,
})

This delegates to setHeader which sets or updates headers by specified keys and doesn't reset the entire header.

response.remove(field)

Remove header field.

response.type

Get response Content-Type void of parameters such as "charset".

const ct = ctx.type
// => "image/png"

response.type=

Set response Content-Type via mime string or file extension.

ctx.type = 'text/plain; charset=utf-8'
ctx.type = 'image/png'
ctx.type = '.png'
ctx.type = 'png'

Note: when appropriate a charset is selected for you, for example response.type = 'html' will default to "utf-8". If you need to overwrite charset, use ctx.set('Content-Type', 'text/html') to set response header field to value directly.

response.is(types...)

Very similar to ctx.request.is(). Check whether the response type is one of the supplied types. This is particularly useful for creating middleware that manipulate responses.

For example, this is a middleware that minifies all HTML responses except for streams.

const minify = require('html-minifier')

app.use(async (ctx, next) => {
  await next()

  if (!ctx.response.is('html')) return

  let body = ctx.body
  if (!body || body.pipe) return

  if (Buffer.isBuffer(body)) body = body.toString()
  ctx.body = minify(body)
})

❗response.redirect(url, [alt])

Perform a [302] redirect to url.

The string "back" is special-cased to provide Referrer support, when Referrer is not present alt or "/" is used.

ctx.redirect('back')
ctx.redirect('back', '/index.html')
ctx.redirect('/login')
ctx.redirect('http://google.com')

To alter the default status of 302, simply assign the status before or after this call. To alter the body, assign it after this call:

ctx.status = 301
ctx.redirect('/cart')
ctx.body = 'Redirecting to shopping cart'

response.attachment([filename], [options])

Set Content-Disposition to "attachment" to signal the client to prompt for download. Optionally specify the filename of the download and some options.

response.headerSent

Check if a response header has already been sent. Useful for seeing if the client may be notified on error.

response.lastModified

Return the Last-Modified header as a Date, if it exists.

response.lastModified=

Set the Last-Modified header as an appropriate UTC string. You can either set it as a Date or date string.

ctx.response.lastModified = new Date()

response.etag=

Set the ETag of a response including the wrapped "s. Note that there is no corresponding response.etag getter.

ctx.response.etag = crypto
  .createHash('md5')
  .update(ctx.body)
  .digest('hex')

response.vary(field)

Vary on field.

response.flushHeaders()

Flush any set headers, and begin the body.
