A Koa REQUEST object is an abstraction on top of NODE's vanilla request object, providing additional functionality that is useful for every day HTTP server development. The Koa request object is embeded in the context object, this. Lets log out the request object whenever we get a request:

VAR koa = require('koa');
var router = require('koa-router');
var app = koa();
var _ = router();
_.get('/hello', getMessage);
function *getMessage(){
console.log(this.request);
this.body = 'Your request has been logged.';
}
app.use(_.routes());
app.listen(3000);
