webframebetaTyped middleware for Node's HTTP server

Build each route as a chain of small steps. Each step adds to the request's context, and TypeScript knows what every step after it can use.

Get started

Packages

Context that's typed as it grows

A middleware says what it adds to the context. The ones after it see that as typed properties, and using something nothing has added is a compile error.

Stops when it has answered

The chain ends as soon as a step sends a response, so a check that fails just responds. If nothing responds, or a step throws, the client gets a 500 and the error is logged.

Node's own server

webframe runs on node:http or node:https, mutual TLS included. The request and response are Node's own objects, with helpers added.

Install only what you use

One small package per middleware or helper. The core has no dependencies.
