Express.js – req.acceptsLanguage() Method
The req.acceptsLanguage() method returns the first accepted language out of the specified languages based on the request's Accept-Language HTTP header field. This method returns 'false' if none of the specified language is accepted.
Syntax
req.acceptsLanguage ( lang, [...] )
Example 1
Create a file with the name "reqLang.js" and copy the following code snippet. After creating the file, use the command "node reqLang.js" to run this code as shown in the example below −
// req.acceptsLanguage(lang, [...]) Method Demo Example // Importing the express module var express = require('express'); // Initializing the express and port number var app = express(); // Initializing the router from express var router = express.Router(); var PORT = 3000; // Defining an endpoint app.get('/api', function (req, res) { console.log(req.acceptsLanguages('en-IN')); console.log(req.get('accept-language')); res.end(); }); app.listen(PORT, function(err){ if (err) console.log(err); console.log("Server listening on PORT", PORT); });
Hit the Endpoint "localhost:3000/api" with a GET request and set the following property in the header: Accept-Language = en-IN
