Installation
With npm:
npm i --save tall-plugin-meta-refreshor with yarn:
yarn add tall-plugin-meta-refreshUsage
To enable the plugin on a given tall instance:
import { locationHeaderPlugin, tall } from 'tall'
import { metaRefreshPlugin } from 'tall-plugin-meta-refresh'
const url = await tall('https://example.com/a-link', {
plugins: [locationHeaderPlugin, metaRefreshPlugin]
})
console.log(url)Note: the
locationHeaderPluginis the standard behavior (following HTTP header location headers) and it should always be used before themetaRefreshPlugin.
Warning: also be aware that the
metaRefreshPluginwill consume the entire HTTP response object, so other plugins that might be added after it won't be able to parse the response body.
