stackr

======

A simple http module system for node.js applications, similar to [*connect*](https://github.com/senchalabs/connect), or the more basic [*stack*](https://github.com/creationix/stack).

Stackr does not supply any middleware, it just provides an easy interface for composing a middleware stack.

Basic Usage

-----------

Stackr can be required like any other node module:

```js

var stackr = require('stackr');

```

You can construct a stack by passing middleware to the `stackr` constructor as arguments:

```js

var stack = stackr(

    require('logger')(),

    require('static')(root, mount)

);

```

 or by calling `use` on the stack:

```js

var stack = stackr()

    .use(require('logger')())

    .use(require('static')(root, mount));

```

Creating a Server

-----------------

Your stack can be used to create an http server:

```js

require('http').createServer(stackr(

    require('logger')(),

    require('static')(root, mount)

)).listen(1337);

```

Using Substacks

---------------

Substacks provide a simple way to compose more complex stacks:

```js

var substack = stackr.substack(

    require('logger')()

);

var stack = stackr(

    substack,

    require('auth')()

);

substack.use(require('static')(root, mount));

```

In the above example the execution order will be `logger`, `static`, then `auth` because the entire substack will execute before anything that follows it in the outer stack.
