# send-http
[](https://coveralls.io/github/Kikobeats/send-http)
[](https://www.npmjs.org/package/send-http)
> A straightforward way to send data for http.IncomingMessage.
It's like `res.send`, but:
- It accepts any kind of value (number, string, object, stream, etc).
- It checks http.IncomingMessage is writable before write.
- It determines `Content-Type` based on the data type.
- It optionally sets status code as third argument.
- It's small (~50 LOC).
## Install
```bash
$ npm install send-http --save
```
## Usage
```js
const send = require('send-http')
const http = require('http')
const got = require('got')
http.createServer((req, res) => {
/* send with no body */
send(res, 200)
/* send a string */
send(res, 200, 'foo')
/* send an object */
send(res, 200, { foo: 'bar' })
/* send a number */
send(res, 200, 1234)
/* send a buffer */
send(res, 200, Buffer.from('hello world'))
/* send a stream */
send(res, 200, got.stream('https.//example.com'))
})
```
Additionally, you can `.create` to customize the behvaior before sending the data:
```js
const send = require('send-http').create((res, data) => {
if (Buffer.byteLength(data) > 6291456) {
throw new Error('Payload size is over 6mb')
}
return res.end(data)
})
```
