httpstatus-by-Name #

Get HTTP-Status number by name

Why ##

In Rest-API's it is very important to use the right HTTP-Status codes. Often times we set or check against these codes.
I prefere a source like if res.statusCode == status.No_Content instead of res.statusCode == 204 a lot more!

Install ##

``bash
npm install httpstatus-by-name
`


Usage ##

`javascript
var status = require('httpstatus-by-name');

…your routes…
res.send(status.Forbidden); // it is forbidden to use this resurce
`

Internals ##

This module is just a map from names to Numbers. It does not have any functions. If you need to list all the codes, you should do the trick with underscore

`javascript
_.each(_.keys(status), function(name){
console.log(name, "=", status[name]);
})
