Tejas Manohar 9f27c1c414 refactor to use ES6 const
change var to const for static require()'d modules

make constant var references in app use const keyword

refactor context to use es6 constants

refactor request to use es6 constants, let block-scope coming next

use const in response object for static refs

make context tests use es6 constants

experimental unit tests -> const

use const for static references in unit test over req

use const for static refs in res tests

update app tests to use const for static refs

make the context test use es6 constants for static refs

use constants in the README
es6 constants seem to work in --harmony on 0.12 too

use const's for immutable refs in benchmarks

ensure all JS files have blank newline at top

add newline to bottom of file where missing

add a webchat freenode link to irc channel

no need to assign error in catch{}-able test

app.silent option to turn off err logging

keep test env logging for backwards-compat

koa middleware framework for nodejs

gitter NPM version build status Test coverage

Expressive HTTP middleware for node.js to make web applications and APIs more enjoyable to write. Koa's middleware stack flows 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.

Koa is not bundled with any middleware.

Installation

$ npm install koa

Koa is supported in all versions of iojs without any flags.

To use Koa with node, you must be running node 0.12.0 or higher for generator and promise support, and must run node(1) with the --harmony-generators or --harmony flag.

Community

Getting started

  • Kick-Off-Koa - An intro to koa via a set of self-guided workshops.
  • Workshop - A workshop to learn the basics of koa, Express' spiritual successor.
  • Introduction Screencast - An introduction to installing and getting started with Koa

Example

const koa = require('koa');
const app = koa();

// logger

app.use(function *(next){
  const start = new Date;
  yield next;
  const 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

$ make test
