Connect

Connect is an extensible HTTP server framework for node, providing high performance "plugins" known as middleware.

Connect is bundled with over 14 commonly used middleware, including a logger, session support, cookie parser, and more.

1.0 Migration Guide

Connect 1.0 is a near-complete rewrite of Connect, with this comes some changes, including some (minor) API changes, and removal of a few middleware, which you are welcome to rip out of previous versions as third-party middleware.

Middleware Removed

  • cache cached everything. This is less than ideal for dynamic apps, rendering this middleware relatively useless.
  • conditionalGet blanketed all requests, requiring the entire response to be computed before a response could be concluded. This is extremely wasteful.
  • staticGzip useless. gzip / ship assets to a CDN
  • gzip buggy
  • lint lame

Middleware Renamed

  • staticProvider is now static
  • bodyDecoder is now bodyParser
  • cookieDecoder is now cookieParser

Middleware Added

  • limit
  • profiler
  • responseTime

connect.createServer()

The connect.createServer() method is now optional, and equivalent to connect(). For example:

  connect.createServer(
      connect.logger()
    , connect.static(__dirname)
  ).listen(3000);

is the same as:

  connect(
      connect.logger()
    , connect.static(__dirname)
  ).listen(3000);

When an options object is passed as the first argument it is assumed to be an https server:

  connect({ options here }
      connect.logger()
    , connect.static(__dirname)
  ).listen(443);
