Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Build Status NPM version License Code Size

Convert Koa legacy (0.x & 1.x) generator middleware to modern promise middleware (2.x).

It could also convert modern promise middleware back to legacy generator middleware (useful to help modern middleware support Koa v0.x or v1.x).

Note

Router middleware is special case here. Because it reimplements middleware composition internally, we cannot not simply convert it.

You may use following packages for routing, which are koa 2.x ready now:

Installation

# npm ..
$ npm i koa-convert
# yarn ..
$ yarn add koa-convert

Usage

const Koa = require('koa') // koa v2.x
const convert = require('koa-convert')
const app = new Koa()

app.use(modernMiddleware)

app.use(convert(legacyMiddleware))

app.use(convert.compose(legacyMiddleware, modernMiddleware))

function * legacyMiddleware (next) {
  // before
  yield next
  // after
}

function modernMiddleware (ctx, next) {
  // before
  return next().then(() => {
    // after
  })
}

Distinguish legacy and modern middleware

In koa 0.x and 1.x (without experimental flag), app.use has an assertion that all (legacy) middleware must be generator function and it's tested with fn.constructor.name == 'GeneratorFunction' at here.

Therefore, we can distinguish legacy and modern middleware with fn.constructor.name == 'GeneratorFunction'.

Migration

app.use(legacyMiddleware) is everywhere in 0.x and 1.x and it would be painful to manually change all of them to app.use(convert(legacyMiddleware)).

You can use following snippet to make migration easier.

const _use = app.use
app.use = x => _use.call(app, convert(x))

The above snippet will override app.use method and implicitly convert all legacy generator middleware to modern promise middleware.

Therefore, you can have both app.use(modernMiddleware) and app.use(legacyMiddleware) and your 0.x or 1.x should work without modification.

Complete example:

const Koa = require('koa') // v2.x
const convert = require('koa-convert')
const app = new Koa()

// ---------- override app.use method ----------

const _use = app.use
app.use = x => _use.call(app, convert(x))

// ---------- end ----------

app.use(modernMiddleware)

// this will be converted to modern promise middleware implicitly
app.use(legacyMiddleware)

function * legacyMiddleware (next) {
  // before
  yield next
  // after
}

function modernMiddleware (ctx, next) {
  // before
  return next().then(() => {
    // after
  })
}

API

convert()

Convert legacy generator middleware to modern promise middleware.

modernMiddleware = convert(legacyMiddleware)

convert.compose()

Convert and compose multiple middleware (could mix legacy and modern ones) and return modern promise middleware.

composedModernMiddleware = convert.compose(legacyMiddleware, modernMiddleware)
// or
composedModernMiddleware = convert.compose([legacyMiddleware, modernMiddleware])

convert.back()

Convert modern promise middleware back to legacy generator middleware.

This is useful to help modern promise middleware support koa 0.x or 1.x.

legacyMiddleware = convert.back(modernMiddleware)
