NodeJS Connect error - has no method 'logger'

Question

Fairly new to nodejs here. I have a nodejs webserver running that serves up data via ajax. I now need to extend the server to respond to various post requests.

Accepted Answer

Connect no longer comes with bundled middleware. Your code would look something like this with the middleware included.

```
var http = require('http');
var connect = require('connect');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var logger = require('morgan');

var app = connect()
  .use(logger())
  .use(connect.static('public'))
  .use(bodyParser.urlencoded({
      extended: true
  }))
  .use(bodyParser.json())
  .use(function(req, res){
    res.end(JSON.stringify(req.body));
  })

http.createServer(app).listen(2081);
```
