Glimpse for Connect

This module adds support for Glimpse to Connect.

Usage

The recommended way to use Glimpse is to call glimpseConnect() instead of connect(). For instance, if your code looks like this:

var connect = require("connect");

connect()
    .use(connect.favicon())
    .use(connect.logger('dev'))
    .use(connect.cookieParser())
    .use(connect.session({ secret: 'Sssh!' }))

You can change it to:

var connect = require("connect");
var glimpseConnect = require("glimpse-connect");

glimpseConnect()
    .use(connect.favicon())
    .use(connect.logger('dev'))
    .use(connect.cookieParser())
    .use(connect.session({ secret: 'Sssh!' }))

Then, any page of content-type text/html should have Glimpse added to it. You can open up Glimpse by clicking the Glimpse logo in the bottom-right corner.

If you can't change the initial invocation of connect() for some reason, you can glimpsify the application post-hoc:

var connect = require("connect");
var glimpseConnect = require("glimpse-connect");

glimpseConnect.glimpsify(connect())
    .use(connect.favicon())
    .use(connect.logger('dev'))
    .use(connect.cookieParser())
    .use(connect.session({ secret: 'Sssh!' }))

If you use Glimpse in this way, Glimpse won't be able to detect when middleware was added if it was added pre-glimpsification.

Alternatively, you can try global glimpsification. This is a bit of a hack, and therefore is likely to be quite brittle. If at all possible, try using the recommended way first.

var connect = require("connect");
var glimpseConnect = require("glimpse-connect");

// Call globalGlimpsify() first
glimpseConnect.globalGlimpsify();

// Then create the app
connect()
    .use(connect.favicon())
    .use(connect.logger('dev'))
    .use(connect.cookieParser())
    .use(connect.session({ secret: 'Sssh!' }))
