Sending Text

The txt method is a convenient addition to the response object that simplifies sending plain text responses. By setting the Content-Type header to text/plain and sending the provided text as the response body, this method ensures that plain text content is correctly handled and returned to the client. It is particularly useful for API endpoints or responses where plain text is the desired format.

txt

Description:

The txt method sets the Content-Type header to text/plain and sends the provided plain text as the response body. This method simplifies the process of returning plain text responses to the client.

Signature:

txt(text: string): void

Returns:

• text (string): The plain text content to be sent as the response body.

Example:

// Route to handle sending plain text response

    res.txt("This is a plain text response.")
})

In this example, the /plaintext route will send the plain text response "This is a plain text response." to the client.
