> Compose an array of middleware into a single function for use in Express, Connect, router, etc.

## Installation

```sh
npm install compose-middleware --save
```

## Usage

Compose multiple middleware functions into a single request middleware handler, with support for inline error handling middleware.

```js
var express = require('express')
var compose = require('compose-middleware').compose

var app = express()

app.use(compose([
  function (req, res, next) {},
  function (err, req, res, next) {},
  function (req, res, next) {}
]))
```

**P.S.** The composed function takes three arguments. Express.js (and Connect, router) only accept error handlers of four arguments. If you want to return an error handler from `compose` instead, try the `errors` export - it works exactly the same, but exposes the four argument middleware pattern.
