Blockade ⚓️ is a lightweight package that adds optional security headers and cookie attributes for Node.js web frameworks.

Security HTTP headers and cookie attributes help enhance the security of your web application by enabling built-in browser security mechanisms.

### Supported Node.js web frameworks:

## Install

```console
$ npm i blockade
```

```javascript
const blockade = require("blockade");

const secureHeaders = new blockade.SecureHeaders();
const secureCookie = new blockade.SecureCookie();

```

## Secure Headers

X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
Referrer-Policy: no-referrer, strict-origin-when-cross-origin
Cache-control: no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate, max-age=0
Pragma: no-cache
Expires: 0
```

## Secure Cookie

### Example

```

```
