connect-pause

library0.1.0jsnpmunverified

A Connect/Express middleware for simulating latency during development. Version 0.1.0, last updated in 2013, with no recent releases. It allows pausing all or specific requests by a given number of milliseconds, and optionally returning an error after the delay. Lightweight and simple, it is suitable for debugging but lacks TypeScript support and has not seen recent maintenance.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

default

✓ import pause from 'connect-pause'

✗ const pause = require('connect-pause')

ES modules are supported if the environment supports them; CommonJS require also works.

default

✓ const pause = require('connect-pause')

CommonJS pattern as used in Node.js with Express.

pause

✓ const pause = require('connect-pause')

✗ import { pause } from 'connect-pause'

The package exports a single function as default, not a named export.

Sets up an Express server that pauses all requests for 2 seconds before responding.

import express from 'express'; import pause from 'connect-pause'; const app = express(); app.use(pause(2000)); // pause all requests by 2 seconds app.get('/', (req, res) => { res.send('Response after 2 seconds'); }); app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Server running on port 3000'));

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedPackage has not been updated since 2013.

fix

Consider using alternative middleware or maintaining the package yourself.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaThe error parameter is passed to next(), which Express interprets as an error and may not result in the expected status code.

fix

Set the error object's status or use a custom error handler.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaRequires express or connect; not compatible with other frameworks without middleware adaptation.

fix

Wrap the middleware for compatibility if needed.

affects: >=0.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Cannot find module 'connect-pause'

Package not installed or not found in node_modules.

fix

Run 'npm install connect-pause' to install the package.

TypeError: pause is not a function

Incorrect import: using named import instead of default import.

fix

Use 'import pause from 'connect-pause'' or 'const pause = require('connect-pause')'.

Error: middleware is not a function

Passing arguments incorrectly or using the middleware without calling it.

fix

Call pause(ms) to return a middleware function, e.g., app.use(pause(1000)).
