Expressive middleware for node.js using generators via [co](https://github.com/visionmedia/co)
|
|
to make web applications and APIs more enjoyable to write. Koa's middleware flow in a stack-like manner allowing you to perform actions downstream, then filter and manipulate the response upstream. Koa's use of generators also greatly increases the readability and robustness of your application.
|
|
|
|
Only methods that are common to nearly all HTTP servers are integrated directly into Koa's small ~550 SLOC codebase. This
|
|
includes things like content-negotiation, normalization of node inconsistencies, redirection, and a few others.
|
|
|
|
No middleware are bundled with koa. If you prefer to only define a single dependency for common middleware, much like Connect, you may use
|
|
[koa-common](https://github.com/koajs/common).
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ npm install koa
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To use Koa you must be running __node 0.11.9__ or higher for generator support, and must run node(1)
|
|
with the `--harmony` flag. If you don't like typing this, add an alias to your shell profile:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
alias node='node --harmony'
|
|
```

## Getting started
|
|
|
|
- [kick-off-koa](https://github.com/koajs/kick-off-koa) - An intro to koa via a set of self-guided workshops.
|
|
- [workshop](https://github.com/koajs/workshop) - A workshop to learn the basics of koa, Express' spiritual successor.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var koa = require('koa');
|
|
var app = koa();
|
|
|
|
// logger
|
|
|
|
app.use(function *(next){
|
|
var start = new Date;
|
|
yield next;
|
|
var ms = new Date - start;
|
|
console.log('%s %s - %s', this.method, this.url, ms);
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// response
|
|
|
|
app.use(function *(){
|
|
this.body = 'Hello World';
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
app.listen(3000);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Running tests
|
|
|
|
