Description
Njs is an nginx module that extends the server's functionality through JavaScript scripting, enabling the creation of custom server-side logic.
Use cases:
- Complex access control and security checks in njs before a request reaches an upstream server
- Manipulating response headers
- Writing flexible asynchronous content handlers and filters
This port only installs the module sources. The module itself is built by the nginx ports when their NJS option is enabled.

Message after installing
This package contains the sources of the njs module only. It does not install a loadable module, and installing it alongside nginx does not add JavaScript support to a running server. The module itself is built by the nginx ports. To use njs, build www/nginx, www/nginx-devel or www/freenginx with the NJS option enabled. Those ports pick the sources up from /usr/local/share/nginx/modules/nginx-module-njs and produce ngx_http_js_module.so and ngx_stream_js_module.so.
