Byte Length

Get the response length of a Koa response body, streams in particular.

app.use(function* (next) {
  yield* next
  console.log(this.response.byteLength)
})

app.use(require('byte-length')())

byteLength is added to this.response. If a non-stream body is set, this is the content-length. If a stream body is set, this is the current amount of bytes sent to the response.

To find the total amount of bytes sent, check the byteLength property after the response emits the finish event:

app.use(function* (next) {
  var ctx = this

  this.res.once('finish', function () {
    console.log('bytes sent: ' + ctx.response.byteLength)
  })

  yield* next
})

app.use(require('byte-length')())

You may also use it as a function, though it's still a generator even though it's not async.

var byteLength = require('byte-length')()

app.use(function* (next) {
  yield* byteLength.call(this)
  yield* next

  // later
  var response = this.response
  this.res.once('finish', function () {
    console.log(response.byteLength)
  })
})
