createDefaultEnforcedRouter

Creates a Router that has the HUMAN enforcer integrated into it already.

createDefaultEnforcedRouter(params: ConfigurationParams, originName: string) => Router

• Parameters
  • params: ConfigurationParams
  • originName: string
• Returns a Router

HumanSecurity

constructor

Creates a new instance of the HumanSecurity class from a ConfigurationParams object (see the configuration section for more information).

constructor(params: ConfigurationParams) => HumanSecurity

• Parameters
  • params: ConfigurationParams

matchFirstParty

Provides the required first party path and handler parameters for the Router.match() function.

matchFirstParty() => [string, RouteHandler]

• Returns an array whose elements are
  • a string for matching HUMAN first party requests ('/<FIRST_PARTY_PREFIXES>/:path*')
  • a RouteHandler for first party requests

Note: Caching settings are controlled by the Cache-Control response header.

matchFilteredExtensions

Provides the filtered extension path and handler parameters for the Router.match() function.

matchFilteredExtensions(originName: string) => [string, RouteHandler]

• Parameters
  • originName: string
• Returns an array whose elements are
  • a string for matching HUMAN requests with filtered extensions
  • a RouteHandler for requests that should be filtered based on their file extensions

The path match will be a string like '/:path*/:file.:ext(jpg|css|png|...)*' where the extensions are based px_filter_by_extension configuration value. This function requires the originName so that requests can be proxied to the origin if they are not found in the cache.

Note: Caching settings are controlled by the Cache-Control response header.

createEnforcer() => Enforcer
