|
| 5 | Connect is bundled with over _20_ commonly used middleware, including
|
| 6 | a logger, session support, cookie parser, and [more](http://senchalabs.github.com/connect). Be sure to view the 2.x [documentation](http://www.senchalabs.org/connect/).

|
| 10 | , http = require('http');
|
| 11 |
|
| 12 | var app = connect()
|
| 13 | .use(connect.favicon())
|
| 14 | .use(connect.logger('dev'))
|
| 15 | .use(connect.static('public'))
|
| 16 | .use(connect.directory('public'))
|
| 17 | .use(connect.cookieParser())
|
| 18 | .use(connect.session({ secret: 'my secret here' }))
|
| 19 | .use(function(req, res){
|
| 20 | res.end('Hello from Connect!\n');
|
| 21 | });
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 | http.createServer(app).listen(3000);
