Very basic modification of Express JS res.json(). Adds the safety prefix for Angular JS to the body of all json responses. Extends the response object with one method: ngJSON. Simply require file somewhere in application (normally app.js) before executing ngJSON responses.
var http = require('http');
var NG_PREFIX = ")]}',\n";
http.ServerResponse.prototype.ngJSON = function(obj){
// allow status / body
if (2 == arguments.length) {
// res.json(body, status) backwards compat
if ('number' == typeof arguments[1]) {
this.statusCode = arguments[1];
} else {
this.statusCode = obj;
obj = arguments[1];
}
}
// settings
var app = this.app;
var replacer = app.get('json replacer');
var spaces = app.get('json spaces');
var body = JSON.stringify(obj, replacer, spaces);
// content-type
this.get('Content-Type') || this.set('Content-Type', 'application/json');
return this.send(NG_PREFIX + body);
};
//e.x. res.ngJSON({ name : 'Tyler' });
//e.x. res.ngJSON(500, { error : 'Something something dark side' });
