This module adds support for Glimpse to Connect.
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!' }))
