The `middleware-utils` package provides a compact collection of utility functions designed to streamline the creation and management of middleware in Node.js applications. It's particularly useful within build or templating ecosystems, such as `assemble`, where middleware often requires sequential or parallel execution. Key functionalities include `series` and `parallel` for controlling middleware flow, `error` and `handleError` for standardized error reporting, and `delims` for escaping and unescaping template delimiters. The package's current stable version is 1.0.0, originally released in 2017. Due to its age and lack of updates, it effectively has an abandoned release cadence. Its API is callback-based, reflecting the common asynchronous patterns of its era, and it lacks native support for modern JavaScript features like Promises or ES Modules.

This example demonstrates how to use `middleware-utils.series` to run multiple middleware functions sequentially within a simulated application context, and how to define custom middleware functions.
For Node.js projects, use `const utils = require('middleware-utils');`. For modern ESM projects, consider using a module bundler that can handle CommonJS modules or alternative modern middleware utilities.While still functional for its original purpose, developers should be aware of potential compatibility issues with newer Node.js versions or dependencies, and consider more actively maintained alternatives if possible.
Always access the utilities via the main imported object, e.g., `const utils = require('middleware-utils'); utils.series(...)`.Wrap `middleware-utils` functions in Promises for better integration with modern async patterns. For example, `new Promise((resolve, reject) => utils.series(fns)(file, (err) => err ? reject(err) : resolve()));`.
Change the import statement to `const utils = require('middleware-utils');` and access functions as properties, e.g., `utils.series(...)`.Run `npm install middleware-utils` or `yarn add middleware-utils` to install the package. Double-check the spelling of the package name in your `require` statement.
Ensure all custom middleware functions passed to `utils.series` or `utils.parallel` properly accept a `next` callback as their last argument and call `next()` exactly once when their asynchronous operations are complete (or `next(err)` if an error occurs).
