@tuft/helmet-prehandler v1.0.1

Helmet Prehandler

Helmet Prehandler is a first-party extension for Tuft that acts as a simple wrapper for Helmet, the popular security middleware package for Express.

For detailed information on how Tuft prehandlers work, view the official documentation.

Installation

  $ npm install @tuft/helmet-prehandler

Usage

Import the named createHelmetPrehandler function, and then invoke it to create a Tuft prehandler that can be inserted into any Tuft application.

const { tuft } = require('tuft')
const { createHelmetPrehandler } = require('@tuft/helmet-prehandler')

const app = tuft({
  preHandlers: [createHelmetPrehandler()]
})

It accepts the same options as Helmet. By default, all 11 of Helmet's middleware functions are enabled:

• contentSecurityPolicy
• dnsPrefetchControl
• expectCt
• frameguard
• hidePoweredBy
• hsts
• ieNoOpen
• noSniff
• permittedCrossDomainPolicies
• referrerPolicy
• xssFilter

To disable one of them, simply set it to false:

const app = tuft({
  preHandlers: [createHelmetPrehandler({
    contentSecurityPolicy: false
  })]
})

For detailed documentation on how each function works and the options that are accepted, please visit the official Helmet website.
