Pack 'n Stack

Distributable and configurable middleware stacks

Check out the examples!

Why

Because configuring a default stack for many apps is hard. At the same time we need to allow configuration if necessary.

Pack 'n Stack allows an organization to setup default stacks for different types of applications and gives the freedom to applications to modify those stacks based on the app's needs.

API

.use([route], [name], handle)

Works similar to connect.use except it takes a name parameter for identifying middleware. If a name is not passed, it defaults to handle.name. Either must be present or an exception will be thrown.

.useBefore(name, [route], [handleName], handle)

Inserts handle before the middleware named name

.useAfter(name, [route], [handleName], handle)

Inserts handle after the middleware named name

.remove(name)

Removes the middleware named name

.replace(name, [handleName], handle)

Replaces the middleware named name by handleName and handle

.swap(first, second)

Swap middleware functions by name

.moveBefore(first, second)

Move a middleware before another

.indexOf(name)

Find index of middleware function by name
