Using rack middlewares

A one-way pipe like the one web_pipe implements can deal with any required feature in a web application. However, usually, it is convenient to use some well-known rack middleware, so you don't have to reinvent the wheel. Even if you can add them to the router layer, web_pipe allows you to encapsulate them in your application definition.

To add rack middlewares to the stack, you have to use the DSL method use. The first argument it takes is a Symbol with the name you want to assign to it (which is needed to allow injection on initialization). Then, it must follow the middleware class and any options it may need:

class MyApp
  include WebPipe
  
  use :cookies, Rack::Session::Cookie, key: 'my_app.session', secret: 'long'
end
