Throwback

An asynchronous middleware pattern.

Installation

npm install throwback --save

Usage

Compose asynchronous functions (promise-based)

import { compose } from 'throwback'

const fn = compose([
  async function (req, res, next) {
    console.log(1)

    try {
      await next()
    } catch (err) {
      console.log('throwback', err)
    }

    console.log(4)
  },
  async function (req, res, next) {
    console.log(2)

    return next()
  }
])

// Callback runs at the end of the stack, before
// the middleware bubbles back to the beginning.
fn({}, {}, function (req, res) {
  console.log(3)

  res.status = 404
})

Inspiration

Built for popsicle and inspired by koa-compose.
