Koa Override Method

Method override as a function utility.

var parse = require('co-body')
var override = require('koa-method-override')
 
app.use(function* () {
  var body = yield parse(this)
  var method = override.call(this, body)
 
  switch (method) {
    case 'PUT':
      // ...
  }
})

API

var method = override.call(this, [body])

You must call the function with the koa this parameter. body is optional. X-HTTP-Method-Override is checked as well as the optional body.

method is the uppercased method. If there is no override parameter, then it's simply this.request.method. You shouldn't use this unless you know you're using override.
