Manipulate the HTTP Vary header
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Installation
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This is a [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) module available through the
 | 
						|
[npm registry](https://www.npmjs.com/). Installation is done using the
 | 
						|
[`npm install` command](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/installing-npm-packages-locally): 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```sh
 | 
						|
$ npm install vary
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## API
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<!-- eslint-disable no-unused-vars -->
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
var vary = require('vary')
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### vary(res, field)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Adds the given header `field` to the `Vary` response header of `res`.
 | 
						|
This can be a string of a single field, a string of a valid `Vary`
 | 
						|
header, or an array of multiple fields.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This will append the header if not already listed, otherwise leaves
 | 
						|
it listed in the current location.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<!-- eslint-disable no-undef -->
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
// Append "Origin" to the Vary header of the response
 | 
						|
vary(res, 'Origin')
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### vary.append(header, field)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Adds the given header `field` to the `Vary` response header string `header`.
 | 
						|
This can be a string of a single field, a string of a valid `Vary` header,
 | 
						|
or an array of multiple fields.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This will append the header if not already listed, otherwise leaves
 | 
						|
it listed in the current location. The new header string is returned.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<!-- eslint-disable no-undef -->
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
// Get header string appending "Origin" to "Accept, User-Agent"
 | 
						|
vary.append('Accept, User-Agent', 'Origin')
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Examples
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Updating the Vary header when content is based on it
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
var http = require('http')
 | 
						|
var vary = require('vary')
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
http.createServer(function onRequest (req, res) {
 | 
						|
  // about to user-agent sniff
 | 
						|
  vary(res, 'User-Agent')
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  var ua = req.headers['user-agent'] || ''
 | 
						|
  var isMobile = /mobi|android|touch|mini/i.test(ua)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  // serve site, depending on isMobile
 | 
						|
  res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html')
 | 
						|
  res.end('You are (probably) ' + (isMobile ? '' : 'not ') + 'a mobile user')
 | 
						|
})
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
