Connect Pause

Connect/Express middleware to simulate latency for debugging

Installation

npm install connect-pause

Usage

Pause all Connect requests:

var connect = require('connect'),
    pause = require('connect-pause');

Connect.createServer(
    pause(1000),
    function(req, res, next){
        res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type':'text/plain'});
        res.end('Waited 1 second');
    }
).listen(8080);

Pause all Express requests:

var express = require('express'),
    pause = require('connect-pause');

var app = express();
app.use(pause(1000));
app.get('/', function(req, res){
	res.send('Waited 1 second');
});
app.listen(3000);

Pause a single Express endpoint:

var express = require('express'),
    pause = require('connect-pause');

var app = express();
app.get('/', pause(1000), function(req, res){
	res.send('Waited 1 second');
});
app.listen(3000);

Pass an error to be returned after the delay:

var express = require('express'),
    pause = require('connect-pause');

var app = express();
app.get('/', pause(1000, new Error('Send 500')), function(req, res){
	res.send('Waited 1 second');
});
app.listen(3000);

When to use

This middleware is meant to be used while developing and in need to simulate latency for certain requests or all.
