nest.js @Post setting the content-type of the response

I am trying to implement a POST endpoint to my API, which returns an HTML string when called at.

My code looks like this at the moment:

import { Controller, Post } from '@nestjs/common';
@Controller()
export class MyController {
    @Post('/endpoint')
    public create(): string {
        return `
            <!DOCTYPE html>
            …
            </html>`;
    }
}

How can I tell the POST endpoint to send the correct content-type together with it's response? I've searched all documentations but was not able to find anything helpful for me.

Thank you in advance for your help

Solution

  • I was able to find the answer myself. I just added the @Header decorator just behind the @Post decorator:

    import { Header } from '@nestjs/common'

@Post('/endpoint')
@Header('content-type', 'text/html')
public create(): string {
  //
}
