Alex Kocharin built the middleware module for the amazing Sinopia project.

Example

Middleware for Express

var express = require('express');
var statusCat = require('http-status-cat');

var app = express();

app.get('/', function (req, res) {
  res.send('Hello World');
});

app.use(statusCat());

app.listen(3000);

Output for Not Found responses:

$ curl -I localhost:3000/nonexisting

Just the cats

This can also be used just like http.STATUS_CODES:

var cats = require('http-status-cat').cats;

console.log(cats[403]);
