Express License

A simple express middleware to add a license page to your app.

Installation

npm install express-license

Usage

const express = require('express');
const expressLicense = require('express-license');

const app = express();

const license = expressLicense({
appName: 'My App',
additionalDeps:[{
    name:'Example Dependency',
    licensePath:'https://example.com/license' // This can be any valid URL, including a local file path
}],
additionalHtml: '<p>Some additional HTML appended to the end of the list</p>'
projectNodeModulesPath: 'node_modules' // Optional, defaults to 'node_modules',
routePath: '/licenses', // Optional, defaults to anything before :scope?
autoPopulate:true, // Optional, defaults to true. If false, the middleware will not automatically populate the license list from projectNodeModulesPath
filter: (pkg) => pkg.startsWith('my-app-') // Optional, defaults to null. If provided, only packages that pass the filter will be included in the license list
});

app.get('/licenses/:scope?/:package?', license);

app.listen(3000, () => { console.log('Server started on port 3000'); });

IMPORTANT: The middleware must be mounted at a path that includes :scope? and :package? as parameters. The middleware will not work if mounted at a path that does not include these parameters.
