node express | start a proxy on {port} | run a DOM query on a remote HTML page | Search

The mime function is called with an object that contains a key-value pair for the MIME type text/html, which renders an HTML string that defines an iframe element. The iframe loads content from an HTTP URL specified with placeholders for a host and port variable, which are likely to be dynamically replaced.

Run example

npm run import -- "display the output from express"

display the output from express

$.mime({
    'text/html': `
<iframe id="sosmethod" name="sosmethod" 
    style="height:600px; width:100%; border:none;" 
    src="http://${host}:${port}/"></iframe>`
});

What the code could have been:

/**
 * Generates an iframe element to embed a webpage.
 *
 * @param {object} config - Configuration object.
 * @param {string} config.host - Hostname or IP address of the server.
 * @param {number} config.port - Port number of the server.
 *
 * @returns {string} HTML string representing the iframe element.
 */
const generateFrame = (config) => {
  const { host, port } = config;
  const srcValue = `http://${host}:${port}/`;
  const iframeHtml = `
    <iframe id="sosmethod"
      name="sosmethod"
      style="height:600px; width:100%; border:none;"
      src="${srcValue}"></iframe>
  `;

  return iframeHtml;
};

/**
 * Sets the MIME type to 'text/html' and returns the iframe HTML.
 *
 * @param {object} config - Configuration object.
 * @param {string} config.host - Hostname or IP address of the server.
 * @param {number} config.port - Port number of the server.
 *
 * @returns {string} MIME type and iframe HTML.
 */
const setMimeType = (config) => {
  const mimeType = 'text/html';
  const iframeHtml = generateFrame(config);
  return `${mimeType}: ${iframeHtml}`;
};

// Example usage
const config = {
  host: 'localhost',
  port: 8080,
};
console.log(setMimeType(config));
