Broccoli Middleware

broccoli-middleware is a utility that integrates the Broccoli asset pipeline's build output into standard Node.js HTTP servers, typically for development environments. It allows applications, especially those built with Ember CLI, to serve dynamically built assets through middleware like Express. The package is currently at version 2.1.1, with its last publication dating back to 2019. Its development is effectively abandoned, with no recent releases or active maintenance. It differentiates itself by providing a direct bridge between the Broccoli build process and a web server's request-response cycle, allowing for on-the-fly serving of compiled assets without a separate build step before server startup. This contrasts with build tools that pre-build all assets to a /dist folder.
