Function ifMatch

  • ifMatch(value, etag): boolean

  • A helper function that takes the value from the If-Match header and a calculated etag for the target. By using strong comparison, return true if the values match, otherwise false.

    See MDN's If-Match article for more information on how to use this function.

    Parameters

    • value: null | string

      the If-Match header value.

    • etag: undefined | string

      the ETag to check against.

    Returns boolean

    whether or not the parameters match.

    Example: Usage

    import {
      eTag,
      ifMatch,
    } from "@std/http/etag";
    import { assert } from "@std/assert";

    const body = "hello deno!";

    Deno.serve(async (req) => {
      const ifMatchValue = req.headers.get("if-match");
      const etag = await eTag(body);
      assert(etag);
      if (!ifMatchValue || ifMatch(ifMatchValue, etag)) {
        return new Response(body, { status: 200, headers: { etag } });
      } else {
        return new Response(null, { status: 412, statusText: "Precondition Failed"});
      }
    });
