Specify or in regular expression in node.js

Question

This is the code:

// Only gzip javascript files:
gzip.staticGzip(__dirname + '/public', { matchType: /javascript/ })

This is the node.js module: https://github.com/nateps/connect-gzip

It signifies compression only for javascript files. How can I specify compression for files either javascript or css? since I want to enable compression for both.

You should be able to use the | (or) operator in the provided regular expression to match on either:

gzip.staticGzip(__dirname + '/public', { matchType: /javascript|css/ })

replace:

gzip.staticGzip(__dirname + '/public', { matchType: /javascript/ })

on:

gzip.staticGzip(__dirname + '/public', { matchType: /javascript|css/ })
