Link-based Resource Descriptor Document (LRDD) middleware middleware for Connect and Express.

LRDD is a mechanism used to discover metadata about resources available on the Internet. It defines the protocol and document formats used for other discovery protocols such as Web Host Metadata and WebFinger.

Install

$ npm install connect-lrdd

Usage

Middleware

To service LRDD requests, use lrdd.descriptor() middleware in your application.

app.get('/lrdd', lrdd.descriptor(function(uri, done) {
  Resource.findByUri({ uri: uri }, function (err, resource) {
    if (err) { return done(err); }
    var desc = new lrdd.Descriptor(uri);
    // add properties and links to descriptor...
    return done(null, desc);
  });
}));

The function supplied to lrdd.descriptor() takes uri and a done callback as arguments. uri identifies a resource available at the host. done is a callback which should be called with descriptor for the resource. If an exception occurred, err should be set.

Examples

For a complete, working example, refer to the host-meta example.

Tests

$ npm install
$ npm test
