Expressive HTTP middleware framework 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.
Only methods that are common to nearly all HTTP servers are integrated directly into Koa's small ~570 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
Koa requires __node v7.6.0__ or higher for ES2015 and async function support.
```
$ npm install koa
```
## Hello koa
```js
const Koa = require('koa');
const app = new Koa();
// response
app.use(ctx => {
ctx.body = 'Hello Koa';
});
app.listen(3000);
```
## 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.
- [Introduction Screencast](http://knowthen.com/episode-3-koajs-quickstart-guide/) - An introduction to installing and getting started with Koa
## Middleware
Koa is a middleware framework that can take 3 different kinds of functions as middleware:
* common function
* async function
Here is an example of logger middleware with each of the different functions:
### ___async___ functions (node v7.6+)
```js
app.use(async (ctx, next) => {
const start = new Date();
await next();
const ms = new Date() - start;
console.log(`${ctx.method} ${ctx.url} - ${ms}ms`);
});
```
### Common function
```js
// Middleware normally takes two parameters (ctx, next), ctx is the context for one request,
// next is a function that is invoked to execute the downstream middleware. It returns a Promise with a then function for running code after completion.
app.use((ctx, next) => {
const start = new Date();
return next().then(() => {
const ms = new Date() - start;
console.log(`${ctx.method} ${ctx.url} - ${ms}ms`);
});
});
```
### Koa v1.x Middleware Signature
The middleware signature changed between v1.x and v2.x. The older signature is deprecated.
**Old signature middleware support will be removed in v3**
Please see the [Migration Guide](docs/migration.md) for more information on upgrading from v1.x and
using v1.x middleware with v2.x.
## Babel setup
If you're not using `node v7.6+`, we recommend setting up `babel` with [`babel-preset-env`](https://github.com/babel/babel-preset-env):
```bash
$ npm install babel-register babel-preset-env --save
```
Setup `babel-register` in your entry file:
```js
require('babel-register');
```
And have your `.babelrc` setup:
```json
{
"presets": [
["env", {
"targets": {
"node": true
}
}]
]
}
```
## Troubleshooting
Check the [Troubleshooting Guide](docs/troubleshooting.md) or [Debugging Koa](docs/guide.md#debugging-koa) in
the general Koa guide.
## Running tests
```
$ make test
```
