What is union?

The 'union' npm package is a hybrid routing HTTP server with a powerful middleware ecosystem. It is designed to create custom Node.js HTTP servers by combining various middleware and routing logic. Union is particularly useful for building applications that require a high level of customization in their HTTP server behavior.

What are union's main functionalities?

Custom Server Creation

This code sample demonstrates how to create a custom HTTP server using Union. The 'before' array allows you to add middleware functions that process requests before they reach your main logic.

const union = require('union');
const http = require('http');

const server = union.createServer({
  before: [
    function (req, res) {
      res.emit('next');
    }
  ]
});

server.listen(3000, function () {
  console.log('Server running on port 3000');
});

Middleware Integration

This example shows how to integrate a routing library, 'director', as middleware in a Union server. The router's dispatch method is bound and used as middleware, allowing for route handling within the Union server.

const union = require('union');
const director = require('director');

const router = new director.http.Router();
const server = union.createServer({
  before: [
    function (req, res) {
      res.emit('next');
    },
    router.dispatch.bind(router)
  ]
});
