This middleware adds a redirect function to response.
Node's built-in http.ServerResponse prototype does not have a redirect()
function. Popular frameworks, such as Express, extend
the prototype with this function. Because it is such a common operation,
middleware tends to get developed that assumes res.redirect() is available.
This causes incompatibility with applications that don't use a higher-level
framework. To address this issue, this middleware attaches redirect() to
res.
$ npm install connect-redirection
Simply use the middleware provided by this module. Middleware further down
the chain will then be able to call res.redirect().
var connect = require('connect')
, redirect = require('connect-redirection')
var app = connect()
.use(redirect())
.use(function(req, res){
if (req.url == '/') {
res.redirect('http://127.0.0.1:3000/welcome')
} else if (req.url == '/welcome') {
res.end('Welcome');
}
});
$ npm install --dev
$ make test
