Package Exports
- quart
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 (quart) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
Fastest, baddest and most experimental HTTP/2 framework for Node.js
Installation
Install from npm, note that Quart requires Node 8.4.0 and above with the --expose-http2 for 8.x.x versions.
$ npm install quart --saveWrite a Quart Http/2 server
const Quart = require('Quart');
const app = new Quart({
cert: "", // SSL Cert
key: "" // SSL Key
});
app.on('/', async (stream) => {
stream.end("Hello World!");
});
app.listen(8080);A short bit on Multiplexing and Stream Objet
Http/2 has many differences from Http/1.1, perhaps the most notable difference is multiplexing. For this reason routing in Quart is not mapped to a request but rather to a substream. This interface allows you to push handles from a specific path without redefining them.
Write a middleware
Middlewares are special handles in Quart that allow for interception of streams pre and post processing/flight. You can add a middleware preflight executing before all handles are consumed and postflight after the handles are done. A stream may or may not be open when postflight handles are called.
app.preflight(async (stream) => {
console.log({ method: stream.method });
});
app.postflight(async (stream) => {
console.log({ headers: stream.headers });
});Middlewares can be called via internal requests (push) and don't map into an actual client-side request.
