nody-http: the http streams for nody

Install

npm install nody-http --save

nody-http has `nody as peerDependency, so be sure to install it too

Usage

var nhttp = require('nody-http')

Server

var http = require(http)

//create server
var httpServer = http.createServer()

nhttp.server( httpServer )
  .pipe( anotherNodyStream )

httpServer.listen()

Router

var router = nhttp.router()

nhttp.server( httpServer )
  .pipe( router )

  router.route('/allMethods', otherStream)
  router.route('GET /aGetPath/:withParams', getStream)
  router.route(matchingFunction, getStream)

The router works quite like the nody.cond stream, only it accepts strings, regular expressions and functions as first parameter and transforms them into a matcher function. .route(), which you should use instead of pipe, returns the provided target stream, so you can chain further processing right here.

Unlike a cond stream the router will respond to the client with HTTP code 404. To prevent or customize this behaviour, you can call .route() method with only a stream. This will be used as a catch all route.

Connect

//TODO: Experimental nody-http is compatible with almost every Connect middleware by default. Just pass a middleware function to a nody.node as processor:

var staticAssets = require('connect-static')

nhttp.pipe( nody.node( staticAssets() ) )
