diet-connect

Compatibility layer for using Connect/Express middleware in diet.js apps

Use your favorite Express middleware out of the box

const compatible = require('diet-connect')
const logger = require('morgan')
const serve = require('express-static')
...
app.header(compatible(logger('dev')))
app.footer(compatible(serve(app.path + 'static')))

Proxies any assignment to req object by middleware to the signal object ($). For example, using express session usually adds .session to req; here it's attached to $

const session = require('express-session')
app.header(compatible(session(options)))
 
app.get('/counter', function ($) {
    $.session.views = $.session.views || 0
    $.session.views++
    $.end('you have viewed this page ' + $.session.views + ' times')
})
// refresh the page to see the counter go up

Known Incompatible Modules

• body-parser Diet is inherently incompatible with Express' body parser, as Diet already does body parsing

Bug reports, feature requests, and questions are all welcome: open a GitHub issue and I'll get back to you.

This is especially true if a certain piece of middleware doesn't work. Please open an issue and I'll see what we need to do to get compatibility.
