跳到lib/router/index.js你的疑问即可揭晓。在其底层proto.use = function use(fn)中 其实是` new Layer()` ，然后将生成的图层 layer push到了 stack中，那么这个 stack就是初期绑定到router原型上的一个 stack数组，layer中我们的回调函数，`this.stack.push(layer)`这里的 this本质就是router对象。

### 4. 用户发送了请求，中间件是怎么被回调的❓
当一个请求过来后，底层本质是处理了 router中的handle函数 `router.handle(req, res, done);` 在 `proto.handle()` 函数中 通过self.stack拿到我们的 stack，第一次主动调用 next() 核心函数：
```javascript
  // idx = 0 ; // init 
  function next(err) {
    var layerError = err === 'route'
      ? null
      : err;

    // remove added slash
    if (slashAdded) {
      req.url = req.url.substr(1);
      slashAdded = false;
    }

    // restore altered req.url
    if (removed.length !== 0) {
      req.baseUrl = parentUrl;
      req.url = protohost + removed + req.url.substr(protohost.length);
      removed = '';
    }

    // signal to exit router
    if (layerError === 'router') {
      setImmediate(done, null)
      return
    }

    // no more matching layers
    if (idx >= stack.length) {
      setImmediate(done, layerError);
      return;
    }

    // get pathname of request
    var path = getPathname(req);

    if (path == null) {
      return done(layerError);
    }

    // find next matching layer
    var layer;
    var match;
    var route;

    while (match !== true && idx < stack.length) {
      layer = stack[idx++];
      match = matchLayer(layer, path);
      route = layer.route;

      if (typeof match !== 'boolean') {
        // hold on to layerError
        layerError = layerError || match;
      }

      if (match !== true) {
        continue;
      }

      if (!route) {
        // process non-route handlers normally
        continue;
      }

      if (layerError) {
        // routes do not match with a pending error
        match = false;
        continue;
      }

      var method = req.method;
      var has_method = route._handles_method(method);

      // build up automatic options response
      if (!has_method && method === 'OPTIONS') {
        appendMethods(options, route._options());
      }

      // don't even bother matching route
      if (!has_method && method !== 'HEAD') {
        match = false;
        continue;
      }
    }

    // no match
    if (match !== true) {
      return done(layerError);
    }

    // store route for dispatch on change
    if (route) {
      req.route = route;
    }

    // Capture one-time layer values
    req.params = self.mergeParams
      ? mergeParams(layer.params, parentParams)
      : layer.params;
    var layerPath = layer.path;

    // this should be done for the layer
    self.process_params(layer, paramcalled, req, res, function (err) {
      if (err) {
        return next(layerError || err);
      }

      if (route) {
        return layer.handle_request(req, res, next);
      }

      trim_prefix(layer, layerError, layerPath, path);
    });
  }
