# protocol
|
|
|
|
The `protocol` module can register a new protocol or intercept an existing
|
|
protocol, so you can custom the response to the requests for various protocols.
|
|
|
|
An example of implementing a protocol that has the same effect with the
|
|
`file://` protocol:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var app = require('app'),
|
|
path = require('path');
|
|
|
|
app.on('will-finish-launching', function() {
|
|
var protocol = require('protocol');
|
|
protocol.registerProtocol('atom', function(request) {
|
|
var url = request.url.substr(7)
|
|
return new protocol.RequestFileJob(path.normalize(__dirname + '/' + url));
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Note:** This module can only be used after the `will-finish-launching` event
|
|
was emitted.
|
|
|
|
## protocol.registerProtocol(scheme, handler)
|
|
|
|
* `scheme` String
|
|
* `handler` Function
|
|
|
|
Registers a custom protocol of `scheme`, the `handler` would be called with
|
|
`handler(request)` when the a request with registered `scheme` is made.
|
|
|
|
You need to return a request job in the `handler` to specify which type of
|
|
response you would like to send.
|
|
|
|
## protocol.unregisterProtocol(scheme)
|
|
|
|
* `scheme` String
|
|
|
|
Unregisters the custom protocol of `scheme`.
|
|
|
|
## protocol.isHandledProtocol(scheme)
|
|
|
|
* `scheme` String
|
|
|
|
Returns whether the `scheme` can be handled already.
|
|
|
|
## protocol.interceptProtocol(scheme, handler)
|
|
|
|
* `scheme` String
|
|
* `handler` Function
|
|
|
|
Intercepts an existing protocol with `scheme`, returning `null` or `undefined`
|
|
in `handler` would use the original protocol handler to handle the request.
|
|
|
|
## protocol.uninterceptProtocol(scheme)
|
|
|
|
* `scheme` String
|
|
|
|
Unintercepts a protocol.
|
|
|
|
## Class: protocol.RequestFileJob(path)
|
|
|
|
* `path` String
|
|
|
|
Create a request job which would query a file of `path` and set corresponding
|
|
mime types.
|
|
|
|
## Class: protocol.RequestStringJob(options)
|
|
|
|
* `options` Object
|
|
* `mimeType` String - Default is `text/plain`
|
|
* `charset` String - Default is `UTF-8`
|
|
* `data` String
|
|
|
|
Create a request job which sends a string as response.
