Currenty I am trying to add an error & notice function to my expressjs app. I thought that by calling
app.use(function (req, res, next) {
res.notice = function (msg) {
res.send([Notice] ' + msg);
}
});
the notice function would be attached to all res objects present in my application, enabling me to use it as follows:
app.get('something', function (req, res) {
res.notice('Test');
});
However, the example above does not work. Is there a way to accomplish what I'm trying to do?
You need to call next after adding notice method to res.
app.use(function (req, res, next) {
res.notice = function (msg) {
res.send('[Notice] ' + msg);
}
next();
});
And you need to add this middleware before routes definition.
UPDATE:
You need to add your middleware before router.
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
app.use(function (req, res, next) {
res.notice = function (msg) {
res.send('[Notice] ' + msg);
};
next();
});
app.use(app.router);
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
res.notice('Test');
});
app.listen(3000);
