18. Page 18 next generation web framework for node.js Koa is a new web framework designed by the team behind Express, which aims to be a smaller, more expressive, and more robust foundation for web applications and APIs. http://koajs.com/ Node.js – from the Beginning Koa 22-Apr-16
19. Page 19 var koa = require('koa'), app = koa(); app.use( function *(next){ var start = new Date; yield next; var ms = new Date - start; this.set('Response-Time', ms + 'ms'); }); app.use( function *(){ this.body = 'Hello World'; }); app.listen( 80 ); Node.js – from the Beginning Koa (1.x) 22-Apr-16
20. Page 20 var Koa = require('koa'), app = new Koa(), co = require('co'); app.use( co.wrap( function *( ctx, next){ const start = new Date; yield next(); var ms = new Date - start; console.log( 'Response-Time', ms ); })); app.use( ctx => { ctx.body = 'Hello World'; }); app.listen( 80 ); Node.js – from the Beginning Koa (2.x) 22-Apr-16
