Connect

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status Gittip

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()

// gzip/deflate outgoing responses
var compression = require('compression')
app.use(compression())

// store session state in browser cookie
var cookieSession = require('cookie-session')
app.use(cookieSession({
    keys: ['secret1', 'secret2']
}))

// parse urlencoded request bodies into req.body
var bodyParser = require('body-parser')
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded())

// respond to all requests
app.use(function(req, res){
  res.end('Hello from Connect!\n');
})

//create node.js http server and listen on port
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with Connect are no longer supported by the Connect/Express team, are replaced by an alternative module, or should be superseded by a better module.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:
