API

gone([options]);

options

Optional argument for changing default response.

options.status

The status code to send in the response. res.status(status); api
default is 410.

options.redirect

The redirect location to send in the response. res.redirect(status, redirect); api
default is undefined.
note: If redirect is used; type, render or message is ignored.
note: Most clients (browsers) do not play nicely with redirect when status code is not 3xx. It is recommended to use render or message instead of redirect.

options.type

The content type of the response. res.type(type); api
default is "text"

options.render

The name of the view for the response to render. res.render(render); api
default is undefined. note: If render is used, message is ignored.

options.renderLocals

The variables to pass to the render view. res.render(render, renderLocals); api
default is undefined.

options.send

The content body of the response. res.send(send); api
default is "Gone!".
