### Adding multiple middleware at once
### Combining multiple middleware
To add multiple middleware at once chain them together with
[.call()](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Function/call)
and then return another function that yields the chain.
Sometimes you want to "compose" multiple middleware into a single middleware for easy re-use or exporting. To do so, you may chain them together with `.call(this, next)`s, then return another function that yields the chain.
```js
function *random(next){
if (this.path == '/random') {
if ('/random' == this.path) {
this.body = Math.floor(Math.random()*10);
} else {
yield next;

This is exactly what [koa-compose](https://github.com/koajs/compose) does, which Koa internally uses to create and dispatch the middleware stack.
### Response Middleware
Middleware that decide to respond to a request and wish to bypass downstream middleware may
