Package Exports

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (pil) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Quickstart

Here is an example application using pil to set parameters we want, we can be sure we will receive parameters in request.params as pil handles everything else.

'use strict';

let koa = require('koa'),
    mount = require('koa-mount'),
    Router = require('koa-router'),
    bodyParser = require('koa-bodyparser'),
    pil = require('pil'),
    app = koa()

app.use(bodyParser())

let test = new Router()

app.use(mount('/', test.middleware()))

test.get('/get',
    pil.set([
        {
            name: "foo",
            required: true,
            type: "string",
            error: {
                missing: "You need to provide foo otherwise the world will break"
            }
        },{
            name: "email",
            regex: /@/g
        }]),
function * () {
    let foo = this.request.params.foo,
        email = this.request.params.email

    this.body = "hello world"
})

app.listen(3001)

Check examples in test/ folder in both app.js for pure koa application using pil or rapp.js for routed app example like this quickstart.

Must be running node with v4.3.* or higher
For POST / PUT methods pil works with works with the official koa-bodyparser best or other body parsing libraries which set data to this.request.body. This libraries will extend to support pure koa post requests.
