@types/connect
Advanced tools
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.
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'));
Express is a web application framework for Node.js, designed for building web applications and APIs. It is built on top of Connect, inheriting its middleware architecture, but adds more features like routing, template engine support, and a more extensive set of middleware. Express is more feature-rich compared to Connect, which is more minimalistic.
Koa is a new web framework designed by the team behind Express, aiming to be a smaller, more expressive, and more robust foundation for web applications and APIs. Koa uses async functions, allowing you to ditch callbacks and greatly increase error-handling capabilities. Koa does not bundle any middleware within its core, and it provides an elegant suite of methods that make writing servers fast and enjoyable.
Fastify is a fast and low overhead web framework for Node.js. It is highly focused on providing a robust platform for building server-side applications and APIs with excellent performance. Fastify is designed to be as fast as possible, and it comes with its own set of plugins for extending its functionality. Compared to Connect, Fastify offers a more comprehensive solution with built-in support for schema-based request and response validation.
