etag

Create simple ETags

Installation

$ npm install etag

API

var etag = require('etag')

etag(entity, [options])

Generate a strong ETag for the given entity. This should be the complete body of the entity. Strings, Buffers, and fs.Stats are accepted. By default, a strong ETag is generated except for fs.Stats, which will generate a weak ETag (this can be overwritten by options.weak).

res.setHeader('ETag', etag(body))

Options

etag accepts these properties in the options object.

weak

Specifies if a "strong" or a "weak" ETag will be generated. The ETag can only really be a strong as the given input.

Testing

$ npm test

Benchmark

$ npm run-script bench
