Preface

Middleware is a type of software between application systems and system software. It uses the basic services (functions) provided by system software to connect the network Each part of the application system or different applications can achieve the purpose of resource sharing and function sharing.

In NodeJS, Middleware mainly refers to the method of encapsulating http request details processing. We all know that many actions are often involved in http requests, as follows:

• IP filtering
• Query string delivery
• Request body Parsing
• Cookie information processing
• Permission verification
• Logging
• Session management middleware (session)
• gzip compression middleware (Such as compress)
• Error handling

Of course there are many custom processing actions. For Web applications, we don’t want to know every one Instead of detailed processing work, we hope to focus on business development in order to improve development efficiency, so Node middleware is introduced to simplify and encapsulate these basic logic processing details.

node middlewareEssentially, it allows specific filters to process before entering specific business processing. As shown in the figure below:

The mainstream nodejs frameworks we currently see, such as connect, koa, express, egg, nest, etc. are all inseparable from the design concept of middleware, so in order to allow everyone to have a deeper peek into the nodejs world, we have comparatively studied the implementation principles of middleware.

Text

After understanding the concept of node middleware, we will manually implement the middleware. Finally, we will briefly analyze the implementation ideas of middleware in koa. The outline of the article is as follows:

• Node middleware core principle implementation
• koa middle key implementation method
• Use the koa middleware mechanism to implement your own koa middleware

node middleware core principle implementation

From the above introduction, we can see that middleware is the processing logic from the beginning of the http request to the end of the response. It usually needs to process the request and response. We are implementing the node middleware mode Another issue that needs to be considered is the coexistence of multiple middleware. We need to think about how to automate the execution of multiple middleware. Otherwise, only the first middleware will be executed in the process from request to response, so our basic middleware The file format is as follows:

const middleware = (req, res, next) => {  // 请求处理逻辑
  next()
}复制代码

Next, let’s write a simple case to see how the middleware is implemented.

// 定义几个中间间函数const m1 = (req, res, next) => {  console.log('m1 run')
  next()
}const m2 = (req, res, next) => {  console.log('m2 run')
  next()
}const m3 = (req, res, next) => {  console.log('m3 run')
  next()
}// 中间件集合const middlewares = [m1, m2, m3]function useApp (req, res) {  const next = () => {    // 获取第一个中间件
    const middleware = middlewares.shift()    if (middleware) {
      middleware(req, res, next)
    }
  }
  next()
}// 第一次请求流进入useApp()复制代码

It is not difficult for us to find out from the above codenext# The role of ## is to realize the key parameters of automatically calling the middleware chain. The print result is as follows:

m1 run
m2 run
m3 run复制代码

The above has realized the execution mode of the basic middleware, but we also need to consider the issue of asynchronousness. If The middleware also relies on the support of third-party modules or APIs, such as verification, identification and other services. We need to execute next in the callback of the asynchronous middleware to ensure the normal call execution sequence, as shown in the following code:

const m2 = (req, res, next) => {
  fetch('/xxxxx').then(res => {
	next()
  })
}复制代码

There is also a middleware scenario, such as logging middleware and request monitoring middleware. They will execute relevant logic before and after business processing. At this time, we need to be able to

next When the function performs secondary processing, we can wrap the return value of next into promise, so that it can continue to process the middleware logic through the then callback after the business processing is completed. As shown below:

function useApp (req, res) {  const next = () => {    const middleware = middlewares.shift()    if (middleware) {      // 将返回值包装为Promise对象
      return Promise.resolve(middleware(req, res, next))
    }else {      return Promise.resolve("end")
    }
  }
  next()
}复制代码

At this point we can call it in the following way:

const m1 = (req, res, next) => {  console.log('m1 start')  return next().then(() => {    console.log('m1 end')
  })
}复制代码

Above we have implemented a basic middleware design pattern. Of course, we can also use async and await to implement it. How to write It will be more elegant and simple. Here is a simple example from the author:

const m1 = async (req, res, next) => {    // something...
    let result = await next();
  }  
  const m2 = async (req, res, next) => {    // something...
    let result = await next();
  }  const m3 = async (req, res, next) => {    // something...
    let result = await next();    return result;
  }const middlewares = [m1, m2, m3];function useApp (req, res) {    const next = () => {      const middleware = middlewares.shift()      if (middleware) {        return Promise.resolve(middleware(req, res, next))
      }else {        return Promise.resolve("end")
      }
    }
    next()
  }// 启动中间件useApp()复制代码

In the koa2 framework, the middleware is also implemented by encapsulating the return value of the next() method into a Promise object, realizing the proposed Onion ring model, as shown below:

koa middleware implementation method

The middleware implementation principle of the koa2 framework is very elegant. I think it is necessary to study it. Here is a demonstration of it Core idea:

function compose (middleware) {  // 提前判断中间件类型,防止后续错误
  if (!Array.isArray(middleware)) throw new TypeError('Middleware stack must be an array!')  for (const fn of middleware) {    // 中间件必须为函数类型
    if (typeof fn !== 'function') throw new TypeError('Middleware must be composed of functions!')
  }  return function (context, next) {    // 采用闭包将索引缓存,来实现调用计数
    let index = -1
    return dispatch(0)    function dispatch (i) {      // 防止next()方法重复调用
      if (i <h3 id="利用koa中间件机制实现一个自己的koa中间件">利用koa中间件机制实现一个自己的koa中间件</h3><p>学习了中间件的设计机制和原理, 我们是不是想马上写一个中间件呢? 笔者这里给大家举一个例子. 在H5-Dooring项目的服务端代码中, 我们需要对用户登录权限进行分发, 此时我们提供统一个中间件来处理, 如下代码所示:</p><pre class="brush:php;toolbar:false">// 模拟数据库操作const token = db.user();// router或者koa的中间件一定要用await处理next，否则将不能正常响应数据export default async (ctx, next) => {  const t = ctx.request.header.authorization  let uid = ctx.request.header['x-requested-with']  let uidArr = uid.split(',')  if(uidArr.length > 1) {
      uid = uidArr.pop().trim()
  }    if(token[uid] && token[uid][1] === t) {        await next()
    }else {
        ctx.status = 403;
        ctx.body = {            state: 403,            msg: '你没有权限操作'
        }
    }  
}复制代码

以上代码即实现用户登录态处理, 如果用户在没有登录的情况下防问任何需要登录的接口, 都将返回权限不足或则在请求库中让其重定向到登录页面.

所以, 今天你又博学了吗?
