Connect
Connect is an extensible HTTP server framework for node using "plugins" known as middleware.
var connect = require('connect')
var http = require('http')
var app = connect()
var compression = require('compression')
app.use(compression())
var cookieSession = require('cookie-session')
app.use(cookieSession({
keys: ['secret1', 'secret2']
}))
var bodyParser = require('body-parser')
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded())
app.use(function(req, res){
res.end('Hello from Connect!\n');
})
http.createServer(app).listen(3000)
Connect 3.0
Connect 3.0 is in progress in the master
branch. The main changes in Connect are:
- Middleware will be moved to their own repositories in the expressjs organization
- All node patches will be removed - all middleware should work without Connect and with similar frameworks like restify
- Node
0.8
is no longer supported - The website documentation has been removed - view the markdown readmes instead
If you would like to help maintain these middleware, please contact a member of the expressjs team.
Middleware
These middleware and libraries are officially supported by the Connect/Express team:
Most of these are exact ports of their Connect 2.x equivalents. The primary exception is cookie-session
.
Some middleware previously included with Connect are no longer supported by the Connect/Express team, are replaced by an alternative module, or should be superseded by a better module. Use one of these alternatives instead:
cookieParser
limit
multipart
query
staticCache
