# proxy-addr [![NPM Version][npm-image]][npm-url] [![NPM Downloads][downloads-image]][downloads-url] [![Node.js Version][node-version-image]][node-version-url] [![Build Status][travis-image]][travis-url] [![Test Coverage][coveralls-image]][coveralls-url] Determine address of proxied request ## Install 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 proxy-addr ``` ## API ```js var proxyaddr = require('proxy-addr') ``` ### proxyaddr(req, trust) Return the address of the request, using the given `trust` parameter. The `trust` argument is a function that returns `true` if you trust the address, `false` if you don't. The closest untrusted address is returned. ```js proxyaddr(req, function (addr) { return addr === '127.0.0.1' }) proxyaddr(req, function (addr, i) { return i < 1 }) ``` The `trust` arugment may also be a single IP address string or an array of trusted addresses, as plain IP addresses, CIDR-formatted strings, or IP/netmask strings. ```js proxyaddr(req, '127.0.0.1') proxyaddr(req, ['127.0.0.0/8', '10.0.0.0/8']) proxyaddr(req, ['127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0', '192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0']) ``` This module also supports IPv6. Your IPv6 addresses will be normalized automatically (i.e. `fe80::00ed:1` equals `fe80:0:0:0:0:0:ed:1`). ```js proxyaddr(req, '::1') proxyaddr(req, ['::1/128', 'fe80::/10']) ``` This module will automatically work with IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses as well to support node.js in IPv6-only mode. This means that you do not have to specify both `::ffff:a00:1` and `10.0.0.1`. As a convenience, this module also takes certain pre-defined names in addition to IP addresses, which expand into IP addresses: ```js proxyaddr(req, 'loopback') proxyaddr(req, ['loopback', 'fc00:ac:1ab5:fff::1/64']) ``` * `loopback`: IPv4 and IPv6 loopback addresses (like `::1` and `127.0.0.1`). * `linklocal`: IPv4 and IPv6 link-local addresses (like `fe80::1:1:1:1` and `169.254.0.1`). * `uniquelocal`: IPv4 private addresses and IPv6 unique-local addresses (like `fc00:ac:1ab5:fff::1` and `192.168.0.1`). When `trust` is specified as a function, it will be called for each address to determine if it is a trusted address. The function is given two arguments: `addr` and `i`, where `addr` is a string of the address to check and `i` is a number that represents the distance from the socket address. ### proxyaddr.all(req, [trust]) Return all the addresses of the request, optionally stopping at the first untrusted. This array is ordered from closest to furthest (i.e. `arr[0] === req.connection.remoteAddress`). ```js proxyaddr.all(req) ``` The optional `trust` argument takes the same arguments as `trust` does in `proxyaddr(req, trust)`. ```js proxyaddr.all(req, 'loopback') ``` ### proxyaddr.compile(val) Compiles argument `val` into a `trust` function. This function takes the same arguments as `trust` does in `proxyaddr(req, trust)` and returns a function suitable for `proxyaddr(req, trust)`. ```js var trust = proxyaddr.compile('localhost') var addr = proxyaddr(req, trust) ``` This function is meant to be optimized for use against every request. It is recommend to compile a trust function up-front for the trusted configuration and pass that to `proxyaddr(req, trust)` for each request. ## Testing ```sh $ npm test ``` ## Benchmarks ```sh $ npm run-script bench ``` ## License [MIT](LICENSE) [npm-image]: https://img.shields.io/npm/v/proxy-addr.svg [npm-url]: https://npmjs.org/package/proxy-addr [node-version-image]: https://img.shields.io/node/v/proxy-addr.svg [node-version-url]: https://nodejs.org/en/download/ [travis-image]: https://img.shields.io/travis/jshttp/proxy-addr/master.svg [travis-url]: https://travis-ci.org/jshttp/proxy-addr [coveralls-image]: https://img.shields.io/coveralls/jshttp/proxy-addr/master.svg [coveralls-url]: https://coveralls.io/r/jshttp/proxy-addr?branch=master [downloads-image]: https://img.shields.io/npm/dm/proxy-addr.svg [downloads-url]: https://npmjs.org/package/proxy-addr
