compression gzip not working (expressjs - compression library)

[alirezavalizade]

I use from compression library and still not working.. this is my config :

const app = express();

app.use(compression());

app.use("/public", express.static(path.join(path.resolve(__dirname, '../../public'))));

By default, this module does not compress responses that contain already compressed assets, like JPEG images. You can use the filter option to override this behavior if you like.

@dougwilson can you show me How?

Unfortunately I am on a phone, and it's impractical to type code here. You can see the documentation for filter at https://github.com/expressjs/compression/blob/master/README.md#filter and there is a filter override example in the readme as well. If you want to simply compress all types, just return false in the function.

just return false in the function.

I meant to type return true.

Hi @alirezavalizade I'm not sure I understand.

app.use(compression({
  filter: function () { return true; }
}));
