The @types/connect package provides TypeScript type definitions for the Connect middleware framework for Node.js. Connect is a middleware layer for Node.js that facilitates the creation of HTTP servers. The @types/connect package doesn't add any functionality on its own but allows TypeScript developers to use Connect with type safety, offering autocompletion and type checking during development.

What are @types/connect's main functionalities?

Creating a basic server

This code demonstrates how to create a basic server with Connect. It uses the `use` method to add a simple middleware that responds with 'Hello from Connect!' to every request.

import * as http from 'http';
import connect from 'connect';

const app = connect();

app.use((req, res, next) => {
  res.end('Hello from Connect!');
});

http.createServer(app).listen(3000);

Using middleware for logging

This example shows how to add a logging middleware to a Connect application. It logs the HTTP method and URL of each request before passing control to the next middleware in the stack.

import connect from 'connect';

const app = connect();

app.use((req, res, next) => {
  console.log(`${req.method} ${req.url}`);
  next();
});

Serving static files

This code snippet demonstrates how to serve static files using Connect with the `serve-static` middleware. It serves files from the 'public' directory.

import connect from 'connect';
import serveStatic from 'serve-static';

const app = connect();

app.use(serveStatic('public'));
