Writing Middleware

Middleware is a function that has access to the request, response, and the next middleware function in the application's request-response cycle. It can perform various tasks such as:

• Executing code.
• Modifying the request and response objects.
• Ending the request-response cycle.
• Calling the next middleware function in the stack.

Middleware can be used for various purposes, including logging, authentication, error handling, and more.

Below is an example of a simple logging middleware that logs the request method and URL along with the timestamp.

import Eframix, { Handler } from 'eframix';
const app = new Eframix();

// Logging middleware
const loggingMiddleware: Handler = (req, res, next) => {
  console.log(`[${new Date().toISOString()}] ${req.method} ${req.url}`);
  next();
};

// Use global middleware
app.use(loggingMiddleware);

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
  res.end('Hello, Eframix!');
});

app.startServer(3000, () => {
  console.log('Server running on http://localhost:3000');
});

This middleware logs the method and URL of every incoming request to the console.
