Module stick
The stick module provides the Application class
which is the centerpiece of the Stick framework.
A Stick Application is a JSGI application which provides means to compose complex applications out of modular middleware components.
Application (nested)
The application object is a JSGI application that wraps a middleware chain.
When invoked without arguments, the Application constructor returns
an application that wraps an unhandled middleware that throws an Error
when called. Use configure to add
middleware modules to the application.
When invoked with an argument, it is used as initial value for the application's middleware chain.
Parameters
| function | nested | the nested application (optional) |
Application.prototype.base
This application's base URI path as used by the current request, or null if unknown.
Application.prototype.configure (middleware...)
Apply one or more middleware factories to this Application. Middleware will be wrapped around the existing middleware chain, starting with the rightmost argument. For example, the following invocation of configure on a newly created Application object:
app.configure("error", "route");will result in error(route(unhandled())) as middleware chain.
Parameters
| middleware... | one or middleware factories. These can be defined as module names, imported modules, or middleware factories. For the middleware that is part of Stick it is sufficient to use the last part of the module id. e.g. "error" or "route". |
Application.prototype.env (name)
Returns an Application object that shares the middleware chain of the original application, but can be configured to contain additional middleware that is not shared with the parent application.
Repeated calls of the env method with the same argument return the same application object.
Parameters
| string | name | the environment name |
Application.prototype.request
The request object associated with the current thread, or null.
