Express Middleware

Many Express middleware packages work with Shokupan using the compatibility adapter.

useExpress Adapter

You can use the useExpress adapter to wrap existing Express middleware.

import { Shokupan, useExpress } from 'shokupan';
import helmet from 'helmet';

const app = new Shokupan();

// Use Express middleware
app.use(useExpress(helmet()));

app.listen(3000);

Native Alternatives

For better performance and deeper integration, use native Shokupan plugins when available:

import { Shokupan, SecurityHeaders, Compression, Cors } from 'shokupan';

const app = new Shokupan();

// Native plugins are faster and context-aware
app.use(SecurityHeaders());
app.use(Compression());
app.use(Cors());

app.listen(3000);
