cookie-parser项目源码阅读

cookie-parser相信使用过Express的人肯定使用过，cookie-parser是一个Express解析cookie的中间件，其中关于signed cookie的疑问可以在 What are “signed” cookies in connect/expressjs?这里找到。（等我智商涨一点再来看了）。
req本质是inComingMessage，cookie-parser所做的工作是将cookie从header中转移到req中，并且转化为json对象。

大神片段：

var secrets = !secret || Array.isArray(secret)
            ? (secret || [])
            : [secret]

作用是：将字符串、空值、数组都转化为数组
