Koa.js 完全指南：下一代 Node.js Web 框架

什么是 Koa.js？

Koa.js 是一个由 Express 原班人马打造的下一代 Node.js Web 框架，旨在成为一个更小、更富有表现力、更健壮的 Web 框架。通过利用 async 函数，Koa 可以帮助你丢弃回调函数，并极大地增强错误处理的能力。

Koa 没有捆绑任何中间件，而是提供了一套优雅的方法来编写服务器端应用程序，让开发者可以自由地选择所需的中间件组件。

• Koa 是一个轻量级的 Node.js Web 框架，核心代码只有约 600 行
• 采用洋葱模型中间件机制，执行顺序更加清晰
• 完全基于 Promise 和 async/await，避免回调地狱
• 具有更好的错误处理机制

为什么选择 Koa？

Koa 与 Express 的对比

特性	Express	Koa
中间件机制	线性执行	洋葱模型
异步处理	回调函数	async/await
错误处理	回调错误	Try/Catch
体积大小	相对较大	非常轻量
学习曲线	平缓	需要 Promise 知识
灵活性	内置功能多	高度可定制

Koa 的优势

• 更现代的异步处理：基于 async/await，代码更清晰
• 更好的错误处理：使用 try/catch 捕获错误
• 轻量级设计：核心简洁，按需添加中间件

Koa 核心概念

1. 应用程序 (Application)

基础 Koa 应用：

// app.js
const Koa = require('koa');
const app = new Koa();// 最简单的中间件
app.use(async (ctx, next) => {const start = Date.now();await next();const ms = Date.now() - start;ctx.set('X-Response-Time', `${ms}ms`);
});// 响应中间件
app.use(async (ctx) => {ctx.body = 'Hello Koa!';
});// 启动服务器
const port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
app.listen(port, () => {console.log(`Server running on http://localhost:${port}`);
});

启动应用：

node app.js
# 或使用 nodemon
npx nodemon app.js

2. 上下文 (Context)

Context 对象包含了请求和响应的所有信息：

app.use(async (ctx) => {// 请求信息console.log('Method:', ctx.method);       // 请求方法console.log('URL:', ctx.url);             // 请求 URLconsole.log('Path:', ctx.path);           // 请求路径console.log('Query:', ctx.query);         // 查询参数console.log('Headers:', ctx.headers);     // 请求头// 响应控制ctx.status = 200;                         // 状态码ctx.type = 'application/json';            // 内容类型ctx.body = {                              // 响应体message: 'Hello Koa!',timestamp: new Date().toISOString()};// 设置响应头ctx.set('X-Custom-Header', 'custom-value');
});

3. 请求 (Request) 和响应 (Response)

Request 对象：

app.use(async (ctx) => {const { request } = ctx;// 请求属性console.log('Method:', request.method);console.log('URL:', request.url);console.log('Original URL:', request.originalUrl);console.log('Origin:', request.origin);console.log('Path:', request.path);console.log('Query:', request.query);console.log('Querystring:', request.querystring);console.log('Host:', request.host);console.log('Hostname:', request.hostname);console.log('Fresh:', request.fresh);console.log('Stale:', request.stale);console.log('Protocol:', request.protocol);console.log('Secure:', request.secure);console.log('IP:', request.ip);console.log('IPs:', request.ips);console.log('Subdomains:', request.subdomains);// 请求头console.log('Headers:', request.headers);console.log('Content-Type:', request.type);console.log('Content-Length:', request.length);console.log('Accept:', request.accepts());// 获取特定头信息console.log('User-Agent:', request.get('User-Agent'));
});

Response 对象：

app.use(async (ctx) => {const { response } = ctx;// 设置状态码response.status = 201;// 设置响应头response.set('X-Powered-By', 'Koa');response.set({'X-Custom-Header': 'value1','X-Another-Header': 'value2'});// 设置内容类型response.type = 'application/json';response.type = 'text/html; charset=utf-8';// 设置响应体response.body = { message: 'Hello World' };response.body = 'Hello World';response.body = Buffer.from('Hello World');// 重定向response.redirect('/new-location');response.redirect('https://example.com');// 附件下载response.attachment('filename.txt');// 最后修改时间response.lastModified = new Date();// ETagresponse.etag = 'hash-string';
});

中间件详解

1. 洋葱模型

Koa 中间件的执行顺序：

app.use(async (ctx, next) => {console.log('1. 开始');await next();console.log('6. 结束');
});app.use(async (ctx, next) => {console.log('2. 进入');await next();console.log('5. 退出');
});app.use(async (ctx, next) => {console.log('3. 核心处理');ctx.body = 'Hello World';console.log('4. 响应设置');
});// 执行顺序: 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 → 6

2. 常用内置中间件

const Koa = require('koa');
const app = new Koa();// 错误处理中间件
app.use(async (ctx, next) => {try {await next();} catch (err) {ctx.status = err.status || 500;ctx.body = {error: err.message,stack: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development' ? err.stack : {}};ctx.app.emit('error', err, ctx);}
});// 日志中间件
app.use(async (ctx, next) => {const start = Date.now();await next();const ms = Date.now() - start;console.log(`${ctx.method} ${ctx.url} - ${ms}ms`);
});// 响应时间中间件
app.use(async (ctx, next) => {const start = Date.now();await next();const ms = Date.now() - start;ctx.set('X-Response-Time', `${ms}ms`);
});// 静态文件服务（需要 koa-static）
// app.use(require('koa-static')('public'));

3. 自定义中间件

认证中间件：

// middleware/auth.js
const auth = () => {return async (ctx, next) => {const token = ctx.headers.authorization;if (!token) {ctx.throw(401, 'No token provided');}try {// 验证 token（这里简化处理）const user = await verifyToken(token.replace('Bearer ', ''));ctx.state.user = user;await next();} catch (error) {ctx.throw(401, 'Invalid token');}};
};async function verifyToken(token) {// 实际项目中会使用 JWT 等验证机制return { id: 1, username: 'admin' };
}module.exports = auth;

参数验证中间件：

// middleware/validator.js
const validate = (rules) => {return async (ctx, next) => {const errors = [];// 验证查询参数if (rules.query) {for (const [key, rule] of Object.entries(rules.query)) {const value = ctx.query[key];if (rule.required && (value === undefined || value === '')) {errors.push(`${key} is required`);}if (value && rule.type && typeof value !== rule.type) {errors.push(`${key} should be ${rule.type}`);}}}// 验证请求体if (rules.body) {for (const [key, rule] of Object.entries(rules.body)) {const value = ctx.request.body[key];if (rule.required && (value === undefined || value === '')) {errors.push(`${key} is required`);}if (value && rule.type && typeof value !== rule.type) {errors.push(`${key} should be ${rule.type}`);}}}if (errors.length > 0) {ctx.throw(400, `Validation failed: ${errors.join(', ')}`);}await next();};
};module.exports = validate;

路由处理

1. 使用 koa-router

安装：

pnpm i koa-router

基础路由：

const Koa = require('koa');
const Router = require('koa-router');const app = new Koa();
const router = new Router();// 基本路由
router.get('/', async (ctx) => {ctx.body = 'Home Page';
});router.get('/about', async (ctx) => {ctx.body = 'About Page';
});// 路由参数
router.get('/users/:id', async (ctx) => {ctx.body = `User ID: ${ctx.params.id}`;
});// 查询参数
router.get('/search', async (ctx) => {const { q, page = 1 } = ctx.query;ctx.body = {query: q,page: parseInt(page),results: [`Result 1 for ${q}`, `Result 2 for ${q}`]};
});// POST 请求
router.post('/users', async (ctx) => {const userData = ctx.request.body;ctx.status = 201;ctx.body = { message: 'User created', id: Date.now() };
});// PUT 请求
router.put('/users/:id', async (ctx) => {const userId = ctx.params.id;const userData = ctx.request.body;ctx.body = { message: `User ${userId} updated` };
});// DELETE 请求
router.delete('/users/:id', async (ctx) => {const userId = ctx.params.id;ctx.status = 204;
});// 注册路由
app.use(router.routes());
app.use(router.allowedMethods());

2. 路由模块化

routes/users.js:

const Router = require('koa-router');
const router = new Router({ prefix: '/users' });// 获取所有用户
router.get('/', async (ctx) => {ctx.body = [{ id: 1, name: 'Alice' },{ id: 2, name: 'Bob' }];
});// 获取单个用户
router.get('/:id', async (ctx) => {const userId = ctx.params.id;ctx.body = { id: userId, name: `User ${userId}` };
});// 创建用户
router.post('/', async (ctx) => {const userData = ctx.request.body;ctx.status = 201;ctx.body = { message: 'User created', id: Date.now(), ...userData };
});// 更新用户
router.put('/:id', async (ctx) => {const userId = ctx.params.id;const userData = ctx.request.body;ctx.body = { message: `User ${userId} updated`, ...userData };
});// 删除用户
router.delete('/:id', async (ctx) => {const userId = ctx.params.id;ctx.status = 204;
});module.exports = router;

主应用文件：

const Koa = require('koa');
const bodyParser = require('koa-bodyparser');
const userRoutes = require('./routes/users');const app = new Koa();// 中间件
app.use(bodyParser());// 路由
app.use(userRoutes.routes());
app.use(userRoutes.allowedMethods());app.listen(3000);

常用中间件

1. 第三方中间件安装

# 请求体解析
pnpm i koa-bodyparser# 静态文件服务
pnpm i koa-static# 会话管理
pnpm i koa-session# CORS 支持
pnpm i @koa/cors# 速率限制
pnpm i koa-ratelimit# 压缩
pnpm i koa-compress# 安全头
pnpm i koa-helmet# JWT 认证
pnpm i koa-jwt jsonwebtoken

2. 中间件配置示例

const Koa = require('koa');
const bodyParser = require('koa-bodyparser');
const static = require('koa-static');
const cors = require('@koa/cors');
const compress = require('koa-compress');
const helmet = require('koa-helmet');
const session = require('koa-session');const app = new Koa();// 安全头
app.use(helmet());// CORS
app.use(cors({origin: 'http://localhost:3000',credentials: true
}));// 压缩
app.use(compress({threshold: 2048,gzip: {flush: require('zlib').constants.Z_SYNC_FLUSH},deflate: {flush: require('zlib').constants.Z_SYNC_FLUSH},br: false
}));// 会话配置
app.keys = ['your-session-secret'];
app.use(session({key: 'koa.sess',maxAge: 86400000,overwrite: true,httpOnly: true,signed: true,rolling: false,renew: false
}, app));// 请求体解析
app.use(bodyParser({enableTypes: ['json', 'form', 'text'],formLimit: '10mb',jsonLimit: '10mb'
}));// 静态文件服务
app.use(static('public'));// 错误处理
app.use(async (ctx, next) => {try {await next();} catch (err) {ctx.status = err.status || 500;ctx.body = {error: err.message,...(process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development' && { stack: err.stack })};ctx.app.emit('error', err, ctx);}
});// 应用错误事件监听
app.on('error', (err, ctx) => {console.error('Server error:', err);
});

数据库集成

1. MySQL 集成

安装依赖：

pnpm i mysql2

数据库配置：

// config/database.js
const mysql = require('mysql2/promise');const dbConfig = {host: process.env.DB_HOST || 'localhost',port: process.env.DB_PORT || 3306,user: process.env.DB_USER || 'root',password: process.env.DB_PASSWORD || 'password',database: process.env.DB_NAME || 'koa_app',connectionLimit: 10,acquireTimeout: 60000,timeout: 60000,
};const pool = mysql.createPool(dbConfig);// 查询封装
const query = async (sql, params = []) => {const connection = await pool.getConnection();try {const [results] = await connection.execute(sql, params);return results;} finally {connection.release();}
};module.exports = {pool,query
};

2. 用户服务示例

// services/userService.js
const { query } = require('../config/database');class UserService {// 获取所有用户async findAll() {const sql = 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE deleted_at IS NULL';return await query(sql);}// 根据ID查找用户async findById(id) {const sql = 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ? AND deleted_at IS NULL';const users = await query(sql, [id]);return users[0] || null;}// 根据邮箱查找用户async findByEmail(email) {const sql = 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = ? AND deleted_at IS NULL';const users = await query(sql, [email]);return users[0] || null;}// 创建用户async create(userData) {const { username, email, password } = userData;const sql = `INSERT INTO users (username, email, password, created_at, updated_at)VALUES (?, ?, ?, NOW(), NOW())`;const result = await query(sql, [username, email, password]);return this.findById(result.insertId);}// 更新用户async update(id, userData) {const fields = [];const values = [];Object.keys(userData).forEach(key => {if (userData[key] !== undefined) {fields.push(`${key} = ?`);values.push(userData[key]);}});if (fields.length === 0) {return this.findById(id);}values.push(id);const sql = `UPDATE users SET ${fields.join(', ')}, updated_at = NOW() WHERE id = ? AND deleted_at IS NULL`;await query(sql, values);return this.findById(id);}// 删除用户（软删除）async delete(id) {const sql = 'UPDATE users SET deleted_at = NOW() WHERE id = ?';await query(sql, [id]);}
}module.exports = new UserService();

错误处理

1. 全局错误处理

// middleware/errorHandler.js
const errorHandler = () => {return async (ctx, next) => {try {await next();// 处理 404if (ctx.status === 404 && !ctx.body) {ctx.throw(404, 'Resource not found');}} catch (err) {ctx.status = err.status || 500;// 开发环境返回详细错误信息if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {ctx.body = {error: err.message,stack: err.stack,status: ctx.status};} else {// 生产环境返回通用错误信息ctx.body = {error: ctx.status === 500 ? 'Internal Server Error' : err.message,status: ctx.status};}// 触发错误事件ctx.app.emit('error', err, ctx);}};
};module.exports = errorHandler;

2. 自定义错误类

// utils/AppError.js
class AppError extends Error {constructor(message, status = 500, code = null) {super(message);this.name = this.constructor.name;this.status = status;this.code = code;Error.captureStackTrace(this, this.constructor);}
}class ValidationError extends AppError {constructor(message = 'Validation failed') {super(message, 400, 'VALIDATION_ERROR');}
}class NotFoundError extends AppError {constructor(message = 'Resource not found') {super(message, 404, 'NOT_FOUND');}
}class UnauthorizedError extends AppError {constructor(message = 'Unauthorized') {super(message, 401, 'UNAUTHORIZED');}
}class ForbiddenError extends AppError {constructor(message = 'Forbidden') {super(message, 403, 'FORBIDDEN');}
}module.exports = {AppError,ValidationError,NotFoundError,UnauthorizedError,ForbiddenError
};

认证与授权

1. JWT 认证

// middleware/jwtAuth.js
const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');
const { UnauthorizedError } = require('../utils/AppError');const JWT_SECRET = process.env.JWT_SECRET || 'your-secret-key';const jwtAuth = () => {return async (ctx, next) => {const authHeader = ctx.headers.authorization;if (!authHeader || !authHeader.startsWith('Bearer ')) {throw new UnauthorizedError('No token provided');}const token = authHeader.slice(7);try {const decoded = jwt.verify(token, JWT_SECRET);ctx.state.user = decoded;await next();} catch (error) {throw new UnauthorizedError('Invalid token');}};
};// 生成 JWT Token
const generateToken = (payload, options = {}) => {return jwt.sign(payload, JWT_SECRET, {expiresIn: '7d',...options});
};module.exports = {jwtAuth,generateToken
};

2. 密码加密

// utils/password.js
const bcrypt = require('bcryptjs');const saltRounds = 12;// 加密密码
const hashPassword = async (password) => {return await bcrypt.hash(password, saltRounds);
};// 验证密码
const verifyPassword = async (password, hashedPassword) => {return await bcrypt.compare(password, hashedPassword);
};module.exports = {hashPassword,verifyPassword
};

3. 认证控制器

// controllers/authController.js
const userService = require('../services/userService');
const { generateToken } = require('../middleware/jwtAuth');
const { hashPassword, verifyPassword } = require('../utils/password');
const { ValidationError, UnauthorizedError } = require('../utils/AppError');class AuthController {// 用户注册async register(ctx) {const { username, email, password } = ctx.request.body;// 验证输入if (!username || !email || !password) {throw new ValidationError('Username, email and password are required');}// 检查用户是否已存在const existingUser = await userService.findByEmail(email);if (existingUser) {throw new ValidationError('User already exists');}// 加密密码const hashedPassword = await hashPassword(password);// 创建用户const user = await userService.create({username,email,password: hashedPassword});// 生成 tokenconst token = generateToken({userId: user.id,email: user.email});ctx.status = 201;ctx.body = {message: 'User registered successfully',user: {id: user.id,username: user.username,email: user.email},token};}// 用户登录async login(ctx) {const { email, password } = ctx.request.body;if (!email || !password) {throw new ValidationError('Email and password are required');}// 查找用户const user = await userService.findByEmail(email);if (!user) {throw new UnauthorizedError('Invalid credentials');}// 验证密码const isValidPassword = await verifyPassword(password, user.password);if (!isValidPassword) {throw new UnauthorizedError('Invalid credentials');}// 生成 tokenconst token = generateToken({userId: user.id,email: user.email});ctx.body = {message: 'Login successful',user: {id: user.id,username: user.username,email: user.email},token};}// 获取当前用户信息async getCurrentUser(ctx) {const user = await userService.findById(ctx.state.user.userId);if (!user) {throw new UnauthorizedError('User not found');}ctx.body = {user: {id: user.id,username: user.username,email: user.email}};}
}module.exports = new AuthController();
