nodejs express 3.0

Question

I have a nodejs express 2.0 application and I want to use express 3.0 within it. Tell me please which is state of express 3.0 at now and is there examples of express 3.0 applications?

I saw connect 2.0 has been released, so can I use it with express 2.0 ?

This is not a programming question. Express 3.0 hasn't had any releases yet, but you can look at the migration guide and the new features. Hold your horses. – Quenchless

@Ricardo npm install express now installs 3.0.0alpha – Thoroughwort

Thanks for the link Ricardo, would you make your comment an official answer? – Unipolar

@Thoroughwort - are you sure about that? seems to install 2.5.8 for me... – Forebrain

@Forebrain it's now 3.0.0rc1 – Thoroughwort

Answer 1

I have had the same issue myself with my applications after doing npm install express .

TJ has upgraded version 3 and added/removed some features (better or for worse Im still ascertaining :P )

But the 2 things you need to MAKE sure to change on a default application is change:

app.register..

to:

app.engine

And to know that dynamicHelpers and helpers are no longer there. You have to use

app.locals.use

Strongly recommend reading his migration guide:

TJ has had some of his examples updated (and in the process of updating others) which I found a good helper to picking it back up
