Express: Middleware and Request Flow

gistfile1.js

var express = require('express'),
 bodyParser = require('body-parser'),
        app = express();

// third party middleware
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded());

// custom middleware
app.use(function (req, res, next) {
    console.log('this will log on every request');
    next();
});

// route function (get, post, put, delete)
app.get('/', log, function (req, res) {
    res.render('index.jade', { names: names });
});

// built-in middleware; static files (i.e. - css, images, all other static files)
app.use(express.static('./public'))

app.listen(3000);
