uws-connect
Use connect like middlewares with uWebSockets.js.
Provides support for
- connect helper for connecting connect, express middlewares
- body-parser (json, form-urlencoded)
- nodejs streams support for
uWS.HttpRequest
anduWS.HttpResponse
(may not be 100% compliant with nodejs streams) - final handler for errors
The design aims to be as fast and unopinionated as possible.
All parts provided can also be used as single building blocks.

Installation
npm install uws-connect
Usage
import { App, bodyParser, params } from 'uws-connect'
import { Transform } from 'stream'
const app = App()
app.use((req, res, next) => { // a simple logging mw applied to all routes
const { method, url } = req
console.log('%s %s', method, url)
next()
})
app.get('/',
// a connect like middleware
(req, res, next) => {
next()
},
// async middleware (no need for `next()` or `try {} catch (err) {}`)
async (req, res) => {
res.body = await something()
},
(req, res) => {
res.end(res.body)
}
)
app.put('/users/:user',
// get `req.params` compatibility
// NOTE: use the same route as the router here!
params('/users/:user'),
// does json or form body parsing.
bodyParser({ limit: 100000 }),
(req, res) => {
// restana like res.send method
// res.send(data: any, status?: number, headers?: object) => void
res.send({
params: req.params, // from `params()` middleware
body: req.body, // from `bodyParser()` middleware
})
}
)
// if stream support is needed...
const transform = new Transform({
transform (chunk, enc, cb) {
this.push(_chunk)
cb()
}
})
app.post('/echo',
(req, res) => { req.pipe(transform).pipe(res) }
)
app.listen(9001)
If you need to better fine tune the performance of your app and don't want to
trade speed, use glue(...handlers)
for connecting middlewares.
// same as `import uWs from 'uWebSockets.js'`
import { uWS, connect } from 'uws-connect'
import cors from 'cors'
const uwsApp = uWS.App()
// just uWS, as fast as fast can be
// NOTE: (response, request) for uWS handler
uwsApp.get('/', (response, request) => response.end('done'))
// use some routes with connect middlewares (like cors)
// NOTE: glue() uses express (req, res, next) handlers!
const _cors = cors()
const glue = connect()
uwsApp.options('/*', glue(_cors))
uwsApp.get('/with-cors', glue(
_cors,
(req, res) => res.end('with cors'))
)
uwsApp.listen(9001, () => {})
