Parsing the Accept* headers from a request

This module uses the accepts package so essentially the same api applies for the parsed headers object.

import * as http from 'http';
import { parseAcceptHeaders } from 'funkster-http-headers-accept';
import { asRequestListener, Ok } from 'funkster-http';

const pipe = parseAcceptHeaders(headers => Ok(headers.type('json')));
const server = http.createServer(asRequestListener(pipe));

// start the node HTTP server and send e.g. a GET with the Accept header set to 'application/json'.
