wrapper.express
===============


Monadic wrapper over Express web framework.

Example

``js
var Future = require('data.future')
var Express = require('wrapper.express')(require('express'))

var routes = [
Express.get('/:name', function(req) {
return new Future(function(reject, resolve) {
resolve(Express.send('Hello, ' + req.params.name))
})
})
]

var app = Express.create(routes)

Express.listen(8080, app).fork(
function (error){ throw error }
, function (addr) { console.log('Running on http://localhost:' + addr.port) }
)
`

Or with Sweet.js macros:

`js
var Express = require('wrapper.express')(require('express'));

var routes = $routes(Express) {
get('/:name'): {params:{ name }} => $do {
html <- Future.of('Hello, ' + name)
return Express.send(html)
}
}
`
