The Http Serializer middleware lets you define serialization mechanisms based on the current content negotiation.

import { normalizeHttpResponse } from '@middy/util'

const defaults = {
  serializers: [],
  defaultContentType: undefined
}

const httpResponseSerializerMiddleware = (opts = {}) => {
  const { serializers, defaultContentType } = { ...defaults, ...opts }
  const httpResponseSerializerMiddlewareAfter = async (request) => {
    normalizeHttpResponse(request)

    // skip serialization when Content-Type or content-type is already set
    if (
      request.response.headers['Content-Type'] ??
      request.response.headers['content-type']
    ) {
      return
    }

    // find accept value(s)
    const types = [
      ...(request.context.preferredMediaTypes ?? []), // from @middy/http-content-negotiation
      defaultContentType
    ]

    for (const type of types) {
      let breakTypes
      for (const s of serializers) {
        if (!s.regex.test(type)) {
          continue
        }

        request.response.headers['Content-Type'] = type
        const result = s.serializer(request.response)
        if (typeof result === 'object' && 'body' in result) {
          request.response = result
        } else {
          // otherwise only replace the body attribute
          request.response.body = result
        }

        breakTypes = true
        break
      }
      if (breakTypes) break
    }
  }

  const httpResponseSerializerMiddlewareOnError = async (request) => {
    if (request.response === undefined) return
    await httpResponseSerializerMiddlewareAfter(request)
  }
  return {
    after: httpResponseSerializerMiddlewareAfter,
    onError: httpResponseSerializerMiddlewareOnError
  }
}
