This PR introduces a detailed Middleware Guide and corresponding interactive examples
I can only see a single example. There are guides related to middleware on the Express.js website (expressjs/expressjs.com), but I don't see any PRs from you there. Did you forget to add something here or open a PR in the website repo?

I can't see this anywhere either.

Why should express have itself as a dependency?
| function userHandler(req, res, next) { | ||
| console.log('3. Route Handler: Executing'); | ||
| res.send(`User ID: ${req.params.id}, Requested at: ${req.requestTime}`); | ||
| console.log('3. Route Handler: Finished (response sent)'); | ||
| // Note: We don't call next() here because we sent a response. | ||
| } |

If you are not using next() it can be omitted from the function signature. The only case when Express cares about the number of arguments in function signature is error handlers (must have exactly 4).

I'm closing this, since the PR description and code do not match. Current examples show most of what you want to achieve. If you notice something missing in documentation and guides, please open issues in the website repository - expressjs/expressjs.com. If you are using AI-powered tools, please check the output and verify that it makes sense. |
