## Middleware layer

One of the most powerful features in `rocky` is its build-in domain specific middleware, based on `connect/express` middleware.

The middleware layer provides a simple and consistent way to augment the proxy functionality very easily, allowing you to attach third-party middleware (also known as plugins) to cover specific tasks which acts between different phases of the proxy, for instance handling incoming/outgoing traffic.

`rocky` middleware layer has the same interface as connect/express middleware, and it's mostly compatible with existent middleware (see [express](https://github.com/h2non/rocky/blob/master/examples/express.js) example).

### Hierarchies

`rocky` supports multiple middleware hierarchies:

- **global** - Dispatched on every incoming request matched by the router
- **route** - Dispatched only at route scope

### Types of middleware

`rocky` introduces multiple types of middleware layers based on the same interface and behavior of connect/express middleware.
This was introduced in order to achieve in a more responsive way multiple traffic flows in the specific scope
and behavior nature of a programmatic HTTP proxy with traffic replay.

Those flows are intrinsically correlated but might be handled in a completely different way.
The goal is to allowing you to handle them accordingly, acting in the middle of those phases to augment some functionality or react to some event with better accuracy.

**Supported types of middleware**:

##### router

- **Scope**: `global`
- **Description**: Dispatched on every matched route.
- **Notation**: `.use([path], function (req, res, next))`

##### forward

- **Scope**: `global`, `route`
- **Description**: Dispatched before forwarding an incoming request.
- **Notation**: `.useForward(function (req, res, next))`

##### replay

- **Scope**: `global`, `route`
- **Description**: Dispatched before starting each replay request.
- **Notation**: `.useReplay(function (req, res, next))`

##### response

- **Scope**: `global`, `route`
- **Description**: Dispatched on server response. Only applicable in `forward` traffic.
- **Notation**: `.useResponse(function (req, res, next))`

##### param

- **Scope**: `global`
- **Description**: Dispatched on every matched param on any route.
- **Notation**: `.useParam(function (req, res, next))`

### Middleware flow

Middleware functions are always executed in FIFO order.
The following diagram represents the internal incoming request flow and how the different middleware layers are involved on it:

```
↓    ( Incoming request )   ↓
↓            |||            ↓
↓      ----------------     ↓
↓      |    Router    |     ↓ --> Match a route, dispatching its middleware if required
↓      ----------------     ↓
↓            |||            ↓
↓   ---------------------   ↓
↓   | Global middleware |   ↓ --> Dispatch on every incoming request (router, param)
↓   ---------------------   ↓
↓            |||            ↓
↓           /   \           ↓
↓         /       \         ↓
↓       /           \       ↓
↓ [ Forward ]    [ Replay ] ↓ --> Dispatch both middleware in separated flows (route forward and replay)
↓      \             /      ↓
↓       \           /       ↓
↓        \         /        ↓
↓    -------------------    ↓
↓    | HTTP dispatcher |    ↓ --> Send requests over the network (concurrently or sequentially)
↓    -------------------    ↓
```

### Middleware API

Middleware layer behaves and has the same interface as connect/express.
In other words, you can create or use middleware as you already know with the typical notation `function(req, res, next)`

As a kind of inversion of control, `rocky` exposes a tiny API in every `http.ClientRequest` passed via the middleware layer:

##### Request

- **req.rocky** `object`
  - **.options** `object` - Exposes the [configuration](#configuration) options for the current request.
  - **.proxy** `Rocky` - Exposes the rocky instance. Use only for hacking purposes!
  - **.route** `Route` - Exposes the current running route. Only available in `route` type middleware
- **req.stopReplay** `boolean` - Optional field internally checked by `rocky` to stop the request replay process.

##### Response

- **res.rocky** `object`
  - **.options** `object` - Exposes the [configuration](#configuration) options for the current request.
  - **.proxy** `Rocky` - Exposes the rocky instance. Use only for hacking purposes!
  - **.route** `Route` - Exposes the current running route. Only available in `route` type middleware

Example replacing the target server URL:
```js
rocky()
  .get('/users/:name')
  .forward('http://old.server.net')
  .use(function (req, res, next) {
    if (req.params.name === 'admin') {
      // Overwrite the target URL only for this user
      req.rocky.options.target = 'http://new.server.net'
    }
    next()
  })
```

### Third-party middleware

- [**consul**](https://github.com/h2non/rocky-consul) - Dynamic service discovery and balancing using Consul
- [**vhost**](https://github.com/h2non/rocky-vhost) - vhost based proxy routing for rocky
- [**version**](https://github.com/h2non/rocky-version) - HTTP API version based routing (uses [http-version](https://github.com/h2non/http-version))

Note that you can use any other existent middleware plug in `rocky` as part of your connect/express app.

Additionally, `rocky` provides some [built-in middleware functions](#rockymiddleware-1) that you can plug in different types of middleware.

## Command-line

### Installation

For command-line usage, you must install [`rocky-cli`](https://github.com/h2non/rocky-cli)
```
npm install -g rocky-cli
```

### Usage

```bash
Start rocky HTTP proxy server
Usage: rocky [options]

Options:
  --help, -h     Show help                                             [boolean]
  --config, -c   File path to TOML config file
  --port, -p     rocky HTTP server port
  --forward, -f  Default forward server URL
  --replay, -r   Define a replay server URL
  --route, -t    Define one or multiple routes, separated by commas
  --key, -k      Path to SSL key file
  --cert, -e     Path to SSL certificate file
  --secure, -s   Enable SSL certification validation
  --balance, -b  Define server URLs to balance between, separated by commas
  --mute, -m     Disable HTTP traffic log in stdout                    [boolean]
  --debug, -d    Enable debug mode                                     [boolean]
  -v, --version  Show version number                                   [boolean]

Examples:
  rocky -c rocky.toml \
  -f http://127.0.0.1:9000 \
  -r http://127.0.0.1
```

#### Examples

Passing the config file:
```
rocky --config rocky.toml --port 8080
```

Reading config from `stdin`:
```
cat rocky.toml | rocky --port 8080
```

Transparent `rocky.toml` file discovery in current and higher directories:
```
rocky --port 8080
```

Alternatively `rocky` can find the config file passing the `ROCKY_CONFIG` environment variable:
```
ROCKY_CONFIG=path/to/rocky.toml rocky --port 8080
```

Or for simple configurations you can setup a proxy without a config file, defining the routes via flag:
```
rocky --port --forward http://server --route "/download/*, /images/*, /*"
```

### Configuration file

Default configuration file name: `rocky.toml`

The configuration file must be declared in [TOML](https://github.com/toml-lang/toml) language
```toml
port = 8080
forward = "http://google.com"
replay = ["http://duckduckgo.com"]

[ssl]
cert = "server.crt"
key  = "server.key"

["/users/:id"]
method = "all"
forward = "http://new.server"

["/oauth"]
method = "all"
forward = "http://auth.server"

["/*"]
method = "GET"
forward = "http://old.server"

["/download/:file"]
method = "GET"
timeout = 5000
balance = ["http://1.file.server", "http://2.file.server"]

["/photo/:name"]
method = "GET"
replayAfterForward = true
[[replay]]
  target = "http://old.server"
  forwardHost = true
[[replay]]
  target = "http://backup.server"
```

## Programmatic API

### Usage

Example using [Express](http://expressjs.com)
```js
var rocky = require('rocky')
var express = require('express')

// Set up the express server
var app = express()
// Set up the rocky proxy
var proxy = rocky()

// Default proxy config
proxy
  .forward('http://new.server')
  .replay('http://old.server')
  .replay('http://log.server')
  .options({ forwardHost: true })

// Configure the routes to forward/replay
proxy
  .get('/users/:id')

proxy
  .get('/download/:file')
  .balance(['http://1.file.server', 'http://2.file.server'])

// Plug in the rocky middleware
app.use(proxy.middleware())

// Old route (won't be called since it will be intercepted by rocky)
app.get('/users/:id', function () { /* ... */ })

app.listen(3000)
```

Example using the built-in HTTP server
```js
var rocky = require('rocky')

var proxy = rocky()

// Default proxy config
proxy
  .forward('http://new.server')
  .replay('http://old.server', { replayOriginalBody: true })
  .options({ forwardHost: true })
  .on('proxy:error', function (err) {
    console.error('Error:', err)
  })
  .on('proxyReq', function (proxyReq, req, res, opts) {
    console.log('Proxy request:', req.url, 'to', opts.target)
  })
  .on('proxyRes', function (proxyRes, req, res) {
    console.log('Proxy response:', req.url, 'with status', res.statusCode)
  })

// Configure the routes to forward/replay
proxy
  .get('/users/:id')
  // Overwrite the path
  .toPath('/profile/:id', { id: '0123' })
  // Add custom headers
  .headers({
    'Authorization': 'Bearer 0123456789'
  })

proxy
  .get('/search')
  // Overwrite the forward URL for this route
  .forward('http://another.server')
  // Use a custom middleware for validation purposes
  .use(function (req, res, next) {
    if (req.headers['Authorization'] !== 'Bearer 012345678') {
      res.statusCode = 401
      return res.end()
    }
    next()
  })
  // Intercept and transform the response body before sending it to the client
  .transformResponseBody(function (req, res, next) {
    // Get the body buffer and parse it (assuming it's a JSON)
    var body = JSON.parse(res.body.toString())

// Compose the new body
    var newBody = JSON.stringify({ salutation: 'hello ' + body.hello })

// Send the new body in the request
    next(null, newBody)
  })

proxy.listen(3000)
```

### rocky([ options ])

Creates a new rocky instance with the given options.

You can pass any of the allowed params at [configuration](#configuration) level and any supported [http-proxy options](https://github.com/nodejitsu/node-http-proxy/blob/master/lib/http-proxy.js#L33-L50)

#### rocky#forward(url)
Aliases: `target`, `forwardTo`

Define a default target URL to forward the request

#### rocky#replay(url, [ opts ])
Alias: `replayTo`

Add a server URL to replay the incoming request

`opts` param provide specific replay [options](#configuration), overwritting the parent options.

Note: replay feature is only valid for HTTP traffic.

#### rocky#options(options)

Define/overwrite rocky server [options](#configuration).
You can pass any of the [supported options](https://github.com/nodejitsu/node-http-proxy/blob/master/lib/http-proxy.js#L33-L50) by `http-proxy`.

#### rocky#protocol(name)

Define the proxy protocol operation mode.
Supported options are: `http`, `ws`

#### rocky#use([ path ], ...middleware)
Alias: `useIncoming`

Use the given middleware to handle **all http methods** on the given path, defaulting to the root path.

#### rocky#useParam(param, ...middleware)
Alias: `param()`

Maps the specified path parameter name to a specialized param-capturing middleware.
The middleware stack is the same as `.use()`.

Note: this middleware is only valid for HTTP traffic.

#### rocky#useReplay(...middleware)

Use a middleware for all the incoming traffic in the HTTP replay phase.
This middleware stack can be useful to differ between forward/replay traffic, applying separated flows of middleware.

Note: this middleware is only valid for HTTP traffic.

#### rocky#useForward(...middleware)

Use a middleware for all the incoming traffic only for the HTTP request forward phase.

For most cases you will only use `.use()`, but for particular modifications only for the forwarded traffic, this middleware can be useful.

Note: this middleware is only valid for HTTP traffic.

#### rocky#useResponse(...middleware)
Alias: `useOutgoing`

Use a middleware for the outgoing response traffic of the forwarded request.

This middleware stack is useful to handle intercept and modify server responses before sending it to the end client in the other side of the proxy.

Note: this middleware is only valid for HTTP traffic.

#### rocky#useWs(...middleware)

Use a WebSocket specific middleware. Middleware chain will be executed on every incoming WebSocket connection.

#### rocky#useFor(name, ...middleware)

Use a custom middleware for a specific phase. Supported phase names are: `forward`, 'replay'.

This method is used internally, however it's also public since it could be useful
for dynamic middleware configurations instead of using the shortcut methods such as: `useReplay` or `useForward`.

#### rocky#balance(...urls)

Define a set of URLs to balance between with a simple round-robin like scheduler.

#### rocky#stopReplay()

Disable replay logic.

#### rocky#retry([ opts, filter ])

Enable and define a custom retry logic as global configuration.
See [`Route#retry`](#routeretry-opts-filter-) for details.

#### rocky#on(event, handler)

Subscribe to a proxy event.
See support events [here](#events)

#### rocky#once(event, handler)

Remove an event by its handler function.
See support events [here](#events)

#### rocky#off(event, handler)

Remove an event by its handler function.
See support events [here](#events)

#### rocky#removeAllListeners(event)

Remove all the subscribers to the given event.
See support events [here](https://github.com/nodejitsu/node-http-proxy#listening-for-proxy-events)

**Note**: you must call this method only when you already defined other routes.

#### rocky#query([ params | parseFn ])

Parse and expose the query params in `http.IncomingMessage` object via `req.query = Object`.

Additionally you can pass an `object` with additional params to add or a middleware `function(req, res, next)` to work in details with query params.

#### rocky#headers(headers)

Add/extend custom headers to the incoming request before forward/replay it.

#### rocky#timeout(milliseconds)

#### route#replayAfterForward([ filter ])
Alias: `sequential`

Dispatch the replay phase after the forward request ends (either with success or fail status).

Note: this will buffer all the body data. Avoid using it with large payloads

#### route#replaySequentially([ filter ])

Enable sequential replay process executed in FIFO order: if some replay request fails, the queue is empty and the process will stop

Note: this will buffer all the body data. Avoid using it with large payloads

#### route#retry([ opts, filter ])

Enable retry logic for forward traffic. See allowed options [here](https://github.com/tim-kos/node-retry#retrytimeoutsoptions).
You can also define additional retry validations passing an array of function via `strategies` field in `opts` object argument.

Note: enabling retry logic will forces buffering all the body payload. Be careful when using it with large payloads

```js
var customRetryStrategies = [
  function invalidCodes(err, res) {
    return !err && [404, 406].indexOf(res.statusCode) !== -1
  }
]

rocky()
  .get('/download/:id')
  .retry({
    retries: 3,
    factor: 2,
    minTimeout: 100,
    maxTimeout: 30 * 1000,
    randomize: true,
    strategies: customRetryStrategies
  })

rocky.forward('http://inconsistent-server')
```

#### route#bufferBody([ filter ])
Alias: `interceptBody`

Intercept and cache in a buffer the request payload data.
Body will be exposed in `req.body`.

Note: use it only for small payloads, since the whole body will be buffered in memory

#### route#transformRequest(middleware, [ filter ])
Alias: `transformRequestBody()`

This method implements a non-instrusive native `http.IncomingMessage` stream wrapper that allow you to intercept and transform the request body received from the client before sending it to the target server.

The `middleware` argument must a function which accepts the following arguments: `function(req, res, next)`
The `filter` arguments is optional and it can be a `string`, `regexp` or `function(req)` which should return `boolean` if the `request` passes the filter. The default check value by `string` or `regexp` test is the `Content-Type` header.

In the middleware function **must call the `next` function**, which accepts the following arguments: `err, newBody, encoding`
You can see an usage example [here](/examples/interceptor.js).

**Caution**: using this middleware could generate in some scenarios negative performance side-effects, since the whole payload data will be buffered in the heap until it's finished. Don't use it if you need to handle large payloads.

The body will be exposed as raw `Buffer` or `String` on both properties `body` and `originalBody` in `http.ClientRequest`:
```js
rocky
  .post('/users')
  .transformRequest(function (req, res, next) {
    // Get the body buffer and parse it (assuming it's a JSON)
    var body = JSON.parse(req.body.toString())

// Compose the new body
    var newBody = JSON.stringify({ salutation: 'hello ' + body.hello })

// Set the new body
    next(null, newBody, 'utf8')
  }, function (req) {
    // Custom filter
    return /application\/json/i.test(req.headers['content-type'])
  })
```

#### route#transformResponse(middleware, [ filter ])
Alias: `transformResponseBody()`

This method implements a non-instrusive native `http.RequestResponse` stream wrapper that allow you to intercept and transform the response body received from the target server before sending it to the client.

The `middleware` argument must a function which accepts the following arguments: `function(req, res, next)`
The `filter` arguments is optional and it can be a `string`, `regexp` or `function(res)` which should return `boolean` if the `request` passes the filter. The default check value by `string` or `regexp` test is the `Content-Type` header.

In the middleware function **must call the `next` function**, which accepts the following arguments: `err, newBody, encoding`
You can see an usage example [here](/examples/interceptor.js).

**Caution**: using this middleware could generate in some scenarios negative performance side-effects since the whole payload data will be buffered in the heap until it's finished. Don't use it if you need to handle large payloads.

The body will be exposed as raw `Buffer` or `String` on both properties `body` and `originalBody` in `http.ClientResponse`:
```js
rocky
  .post('/users')
  .transformResponse(function (req, res, next) {
    // Get the body buffer and parse it (assuming it's a JSON)
    var body = JSON.parse(res.body.toString())

// Compose the new body
    var newBody = JSON.stringify({ salutation: 'hello ' + body.hello })

// Set the new body
    next(null, newBody, 'utf8')
  }, function (res) {
    // Custom filter
    return /application\/json/i.test(res.getHeader('content-type'))
  })
```

#### route#options(options)

Overwrite default proxy [options](#configuration) for the current route.
You can pass any supported option by [http-proxy](https://github.com/nodejitsu/node-http-proxy/blob/master/lib/http-proxy.js#L33-L50)

#### route#use(...middleware)
Alias: `useIncoming`

Use a middleware for the incoming traffic for the current route for both replay/forward phases.

#### route#useReplay(...middleware)

Use a middleware for current route incoming traffic in the HTTP replay phase.
This middleware stack can be useful to differ between forward/replay traffic, applying separated flows of middleware.

#### route#useForward(...middleware)

Use a middleware for current route incoming traffic only for the HTTP request forward phase.
For most cases you will only use `.use()`, but for particular modifications only for the forwarded traffic, this middleware can be useful.

#### route#useFor(name, ...middleware)

This method is used internally, however it's also public since it could be useful
for dynamic middleware configurations instead of using the shortcut methods such as: `useReplay` or `useForward`.

#### route#on(event, ...handler)

Subscribes to a specific event for the given route.
Useful to intercept the status or modify the options on-the-fly
