pass headers to prepareBody

[bekzod]

passing headers to prepareBody can be useful when you want to serialize depending content-type header, for example if it is text/...

[DingoEatingFuzz]

Why do this when there is a prepareHeaders method?

Are you needing the headers to make decisions regarding the body?

[bekzod]

@DingoEatingFuzz you mean "why not to do this inside prepareHeaders" ?
well, there you don't have access to body
you mean "Do you need headers to make decisions regarding body?"
yes

   this.get('/api/songs', function(request){
    return [
      200,
      {'content-type': 'text/csv'},
      "firstname,lastname\nbob,dylon"
    ];
  });

and if I have prepareBody like this

server.prepareBody = function(body){
  return body ? JSON.stringify(body) : '{"error": "not found"}';
}

then I get ""firstname,lastname\nbob,dylon"" double quotes as the header is text/csv

so I would like to do this to fix it

server.prepareBody = function(body, headers) {
  if (headers['content-type'] === 'application/javascript') {
    return body ? JSON.stringify(body) : '{"error": "not found"}';
  } else {
    return body;
  }
}
