Typescript Middleware Pattern. NodeJS

 

Typescript !

Middleware Pattern, Typescript Implementation from scratch.

To apply in:

  • Front or
  • Back or
  • Automation Tool or
  • Command Line Tool
  • My I have to use Command Pattern and Interpreter Pattern Mixed with Middleware Pattern.

Seems:

Like the old Filters in java web

But widely spread over platforms

Like the old Template in C++ .. ..

Reference:

// app.ts
import { pipeline } from './middleware';

interface Context {
  [key: string]: any; // Yes, I Love semicolons.!!
};

const engine = pipeline<Context>( async (ctx, next) => {
  ctx.first = "First things First!!";
  next();
} );
engine.use( async (ctx, next) => {
  ctx.second = "I am the developer:";
  next();
} );
engine.use( async (ctx, next) => {
  ctx.third = "https://github.com/maximilianou";
  next();
} );

console.log('Running.. TypeScript app');

(async () => {
  const context: Context = {};
  await engine.execute(context);
  console.log(context);
})();
  • middleware.js
// middleware.ts
export type Next = () => Promise<any> | any;
export type Middleware<T> = (
  context: T,
  next: Next
) => Promise<void>;
export type Pipe<T> = {
  use: (...middlewares: Middleware<T>[]) => void;
  execute: (context: T) => Promise<void | T>
};
export function pipeline<T>(...middlewares: Middleware<T>[])
                  : Pipe<T> {
  const stack: Middleware<T>[] = middlewares;
  const use: Pipe<T>["use"] = (...middlewares) => {
    stack.push(...middlewares);
  }
  const execute: Pipe<T>["execute"] = async (context) => {
    let prevIndex = -1;
    const handler = async (index: number, context: T)
            : Promise<void | T> => {
      if(index === prevIndex){
        throw new Error("next() already called");
      }
      if(index === stack.length ){
        return context;
      }
      prevIndex = index;
      const middleware = stack[index];
      if(middleware){
        await middleware( context, () => handler( index+1, context ) );
      }
    };
    const response = await handler(0, context);
    if (response){
      return response;
    } 
  };
  return { use, execute };
}
