Middleware

NotifyBC pre-installed following Express middleware as defined in /src/middleware.ts

• compression
• helmet
• morgan (disabled by default)

/src/middleware.ts contains following default middleware settings

import path from 'path';
module.exports = {
  all: {
    compression: {},
  },
  apiOnly: {
    helmet: {},
    morgan: {
      params: [
        ':remote-addr - :remote-user [:date[clf]] ":method :url HTTP/:http-version" :status ":req[X-Forwarded-For]"',
      ],
      enabled: false,
    },
  },
};

/src/middleware.ts has following structure

module.exports = {
  all: {
    '<middlewareName>': {params: [], enabled: <boolean>},
  },
  apiOnly: {
    '<middlewareName>': {params: [], enabled: <boolean>},
  },
};

Middleware defined under all applies to both API and web console requests, as opposed to apiOnly, which applies to API requests only. params are passed to middleware function as arguments. enabled toggles the middleware on or off.

To change default settings defined in /src/middleware.ts, create file /src/middleware.local.ts or /src/middleware.<env>.ts to override. For example, to enable access log,

module.exports = {
  apiOnly: {
    morgan: {
      enabled: true,
    },
  },
};
