TypeError: dest.end is not a function

Question

I am trying to use HTTP/2. My express version is 5.0.0-alpha.2, http2 version is 3.3.4.

I suppose http2 should work well with express 5.

const http2 = require('http2');

// const http2 = require('spdy');  // using spdy package here, everything works perfect



const options = {

  key: fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'private', 'server.key')),

  cert: fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'private', 'server.crt'))

};



const server = http2

  .createServer(options, app)

  .listen(3000, err => {

    if (err) throw new Error(err);



    // I can see "Listening..." message, which means the server starts running well.

    console.log('Listening...');

  });

The server starts running well, but when I open client website, it gives me this error in the terminal:

_stream_readable.js:512

    dest.end();

         ^

It seems node-http2 has not been supported by Express yet. Please track this issue Support for module http on github.

In the meanwhile, you can stay with node-spdy.

const spdy = require('spdy');

const options = {
  key: fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'private', 'server.key')),
  cert: fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'private', 'server.crt'))
};

const server = spdy
  .createServer(options, app)
  .listen(3000, err => {
    if (err) throw new Error(err);
    console.log('Listening...');
  });
