http-headers-validation is a lightweight JavaScript utility designed to validate HTTP header names and values against standard specifications. Currently at version 0.0.2, this package appears to have an infrequent release cadence given its early version and specific utility focus. Its primary differentiator is providing a simple, focused API for ensuring header compliance, which is particularly useful in backend modules or proxies that process user-provided HTTP headers. It offers three core functions: `validateHeaderName`, `validateHeaderValue`, and `validateHeader` (which combines both). The library ships with TypeScript types, supporting modern development workflows. It differentiates itself from more comprehensive HTTP parsing libraries by focusing solely on header syntax validation, rather than full request/response object manipulation.
npm install http-headers-validationVerified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.
This quickstart demonstrates how to import and use the `validateHeaderName`, `validateHeaderValue`, and `validateHeader` functions to check the conformance of HTTP header strings against the standard, including a practical usage example.
Pin exact versions (e.g., `"http-headers-validation": "0.0.2"`) in your `package.json` to prevent unexpected updates. Regularly review the GitHub repository for new releases and changes.
For Node.js ESM or TypeScript projects, use named imports like `import { validateHeaderName } from 'http-headers-validation';`. If using in a browser via a script tag, ensure the `index.js` file is included and access functions via the global `headerUtils` object.Consult the source code on GitHub for exact validation logic if specific RFC compliance or edge-case behavior is critical for your application. Consider adding internal integration tests for scenarios not explicitly covered by the library's tests.
If using ESM, ensure you are using named imports: `import { validateHeaderName } from 'http-headers-validation';`. If in a browser with a script tag, ensure the `index.js` file is loaded and the `headerUtils` global is available before calling its methods.Run `npm install http-headers-validation` or `yarn add http-headers-validation` in your project directory. Check your `package.json` dependencies.
Ensure all arguments passed to `validateHeaderName`, `validateHeaderValue`, or `validateHeader` are non-empty strings, as required by the function signatures and documented API.
