<directive name="js_body_filter">
<syntax><value>function</value> | <value>module.function</value>
[<value>buffer_type</value>=<value>string</value> | <value>buffer</value>]</syntax>
<default/>
<context>location</context>
<context>limit_except</context>
<appeared-in>0.5.2</appeared-in>

<para>
Sets an njs function as a response body filter.
The filter function is called for each data chunk of a response body
with the following arguments:

<list type="tag">
<tag-name><literal>r</literal></tag-name>
<tag-desc>
the <link doc="../njs/reference.xml" id="http">HTTP request</link> object
</tag-desc>

<tag-name><literal>data</literal></tag-name>
<tag-desc>
the incoming data chunk,
may be a string or Buffer
depending on the <literal>buffer_type</literal> value,
by default is a string.
</tag-desc>

<tag-name><literal>flags</literal></tag-name>
<tag-desc>
an object with the following properties:
<list type="tag">
<tag-name><literal>last</literal></tag-name>
<tag-desc>
a boolean value, true if data is a last buffer.
</tag-desc>

</list>
</tag-desc>

</list>
</para>

<para>
The filter function can pass its own modified version
of the input data chunk to the next body filter by calling
<link doc="../njs/reference.xml" id="r_sendbuffer"><literal>r.sendBuffer()</literal></link>.
For example, to transform all the lowercase letters in the response body:
<example>
function filter(r, data, flags) {
    r.sendBuffer(data.toLowerCase(), flags);
}
</example>
To stop filtering (following data chunks will be passed to client
without calling <literal>js_body_filter</literal>),
<link doc="../njs/reference.xml" id="r_done"><literal>r.done()</literal></link>
can be used.
</para>

<para>
If the filter function changes the length of the response body, then
it is required to clear out the <header>Content-Length</header> response header
(if any) in
<link id="js_header_filter"><literal>js_header_filter</literal></link>
to enforce chunked transfer encoding.
</para>

<directive name="js_content">
<syntax><value>function</value> | <value>module.function</value></syntax>
<default/>
<context>location</context>
<context>limit_except</context>

<para>
Sets an njs function as a location content handler.
Since <link doc="../njs/changes.xml" id="njs0.4.0">0.4.0</link>,
a module function can be referenced.
</para>

</directive>


<directive name="js_header_filter">
<syntax><value>function</value> | <value>module.function</value></syntax>
<default/>
<context>location</context>
<context>limit_except</context>

<para>
Sets an njs function as a response header filter.
The directive allows changing arbitrary header fields of a response header.

<directive name="js_import">
<syntax><value>module.js</value> |
<value>export_name from module.js</value></syntax>
<default/>
<context>http</context>
<appeared-in>0.4.0</appeared-in>

<para>
Imports a module that implements location and variable handlers in njs.
The <literal>export_name</literal> is used as a namespace
to access module functions.
If the <literal>export_name</literal> is not specified,
the module name will be used as a namespace.
<example>
js_import http.js;
</example>
Here, the module name <literal>http</literal> is used as a namespace
while accessing exports.
If the imported module contains <literal>foo()</literal>,
<literal>http.foo</literal> is used to refer to it.
</para>

<para>
Several <literal>js_import</literal> directives can be specified.
</para>

</directive>


<directive name="js_include">
<syntax><value>file</value></syntax>
<default/>
<context>http</context>

<para>
Specifies a file that implements location and variable handlers in njs:
<example>
nginx.conf:
js_include http.js;
location   /version {
    js_content version;
}

http.js:
function version(r) {
    r.return(200, njs.version);
}
</example>
</para>

<para>
The directive is deprecated since
<link doc="../njs/changes.xml" id="njs0.4.0">0.4.0</link>,
the <link id="js_import"/> directive should be used instead.
</para>

<para>
Sets an njs function for the specified variable.
Since <link doc="../njs/changes.xml" id="njs0.4.0">0.4.0</link>,
a module function can be referenced.
