# Request
[![circleci-image]][circleci-url] [![npm-image]][npm-url] ![][typescript-image] [![license-image]][license-url]
Wrapper over Node.js [req](https://nodejs.org/dist/latest/docs/api/http.html#http_class_http_incomingmessage) object to standardize and ease the process of reading data from HTTP requests.

## Features
1. Support for reading plain and signed cookies (only when signed via [@poppinss/response](https://github.com/poppinss/response))
2. Handy methods for content negotiation.
3. Handles inconsistencies between certain headers like `referer` and `referrer`.
4. Reliably reads `ip address` of proxied requests.
5. Assigns distributed unique `x-request-id` to each request.
## Usage
Install the package from npm as follows:
```sh
npm i @poppinss/request
# yarn
yarn add @poppinss/request
```
and then use it as follows
```ts
import { Request, RequestConfigContract } from '@poppinss/request'
import { createServer } from 'http'
const config: RequestConfigContract = {
allowMethodSpoofing: false,
subdomainOffset: 2,
trustProxy: require('proxy-addr').compile('loopback'),
}
createServer((req, res) => {
const request = new Request(req, res, config)
res.end(`${request.id()} ${request.url()}`)
})
```
## Config
{
"allowMethodSpoofing": false
Since, standard HTML forms doesn't allow all HTTP verbs like PUT, DELETE and so on. The allowMethodSpoofing allows defining the HTTP method as a query string _method.
When allowMethodSpoofing = true and current request method is POST, then request.method() will give preference to the query string _method property, over the original request method.
"subdomainOffset": 2
Offset indicates the number of values to remove from the end of the URL seperated by ..
For example: For URL indicative.adonisjs.com, the request.subdomains() method will return an array with ['indicative'].
"trustProxy"
A method that allows you to selectively trust the proxy servers. Make sure to read proxy-addr docs.
"getIp"
Optionally define a method to determine the user Ip adress. The method is helpful, when you want to rely on a different property to find the user ip address.
For example: Nginx set x-real-ip header when used a proxy server.
In that case you can define your own getIp method for same.
getIp (request) {
// I am using nginx as a proxy server and want to trust 'x-real-ip'
return request.header('x-real-ip')
}
"secret"
Optional Define a secret to unsign and read cookies. Make sure you have used the same secret to sign the cookie via @poppinss/response package.
}
## Typescript support
The module is written in Typescript and exports following classes, types and interfaces.
```ts
import { Request, RequestContract, RequestConfigContract} from '@poppinss/request'
```
**RequestContract** is the interface that `Request` class adheres too. Since, you cannot extend concrete implementations in Typescript, you may need the interface to have a lossely typed flow.
```ts
Request.macro('cartValue', function () {
return Number(this.cookie('cart')) || 0
})
```
then, you need to add `cartValue` to the interface
```ts
import { RequestContract as BaseContract } from '@poppinss/request'
interface RequestContract extends BaseContract {
cartValue (): number
}
const request = new Request(req, res, config) as unknown as RequestContract
```
