Stick is a modular JSGI middleware composition layer and application framework.
It was originally made for RingoJS, but this fork allows it to also run on Common Node (a synchronous CommonJS compatibility layer for Node.js using node-fibers).
If you have any questions about Stick or its use in conjunction with mongo-sync and other libraries built on top of Common Node, please post them to the Common Node mailing list.
Stick provides an Application object that can be used to compose web
applications out of JSGI middleware components. Middleware can in turn
define methods or properties on the application object to make itself
configurable to the outside world.
Currently Stick comes with the following middleware modules:
- basicauth - basic HTTP authentication
continuation - generator-based async requests- error - generating error pages
- etag - ETag based conditional GET
- gzip - GZip content encoding
- method - HTTP method overriding
- mount - mounting other applications
- notfound - generating 404 pages
- params - form data parsing
profiler - JavaScript profiling- render - mustache.js templates (mustache shold be installed separately with
npm install mustache) - requestlog - collecting per-request log messages
- route - Sinatra-like request routing
- session - session support
- static - serving static files
- upload - handling file uploads
Check out the demo applications and documentation to learn more.
Use npm to to install Stick:
