Response Headers for Expiration, Age

[lpw]

How do developers using express-zod-api handle expiration or age in their APIs? Some of my endpoints have data that should expire quickly, and some is more static. I don't see an examples of that in documentation or the usual places.

I presume you're talking about this header:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Age

You can set headers either from a Middleware or from ResultHandler, @lpw

The handlers of those entities have response argument, so you can do response.set():
https://expressjs.com/en/api.html#res.set

const shortTermFactory = defaultEndpointsFactory
  .addMiddleware(
    createMiddleware({
      input: z.object({}),
      middleware: async ({ response }) => {
        response.set("age", 30);
        return {};
      }
    })
  );

The endpoints produced on shortTermFactory are going to have the header set.

Sorry for the delay in response - this worked great - thanks again!
