Description
app.use(helmet())
will automatically include all the middleware introduced above, except noCache()
, and contentSecurityPolicy()
, but these can be enabled if necessary. You can also disable or configure any other middleware individually, using a configuration object.
Example:
app.use(helmet({
frameguard: { // configure
action: 'deny'
},
contentSecurityPolicy: { // enable and configure
directives: {
defaultSrc: ["self"],
styleSrc: ['style.com'],
}
},
dnsPrefetchControl: false // disable
}))
We introduced each middleware separately for teaching purposes and for ease of testing. Using the ‘parent’ helmet()
middleware is easy to implement in a real project.
