express3.x升至express4.x遇到的问题

Most middleware (like favicon) is no longer bundled with Express

Error: Most middleware (like favicon) is no longer bundled with Express and must be installed separately. Please see https://github.com/senchalabs/connect#middleware.

Solution:

For Express 4 :
// Serve favicon.ico.

$> npm install serve-favicon

Then in your server .js script :
var favicon = require(‘serve-favicon’);
app.use(favicon(options.favicon));

For Express 3 :

This is likely the syntax that gave you the error above

app.use(express.favicon(options.favicon));

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

/Users/user/Desktop/workspace150302/WeDateServer/node_modules/serve-favicon/index.js:45

  if (!path) throw new TypeError('path to favicon.ico is required');

                   ^

TypeError: path to favicon.ico is required

改为"static-favicon": "~1.0.0",就可以了

Error: Most middleware (like session) is no longer bundled with Express and must be installed separately.

最后通过搜索该错误解决方案，发现是因为网上的方法适用于express3.x，express4.0+已经不再内置session，需要另加中间件。

express 4.x 分离了middleware，除了static，其他需要自行安装
