i got a series of routes like :
var router = express().Router;
router.get('/',middleware1,middleware2);
router.get('/courses',middleware1,middleware2,..)
router.post('/dates',middleware1,middleware2,..)
app.use('/u',router);
Now, when i declare the root of the route in
app.use('/u',router);
i would like to put a mandatory parameter that has to be present in every route of the micro-app like
app.use('/u/:user_name/',router);
So that i can check for every route with router.param the existence of this param in a db.
Is something like that possible by defining the param in the root of the micro app and not in every single route like
router.get('/:user_name/',middleware1,middleware2);
router.get('/:user_name/courses',middleware1,middleware2,..)
router.post('/:user_name/dates',middleware1,middleware2,..)
as they are actually a lot in the real application and it would be a pain to change them all?
Really thanks !
You should be able to do this using mergeParams so long as you're using a recent enough version of Express.
var router = express.Router({mergeParams: true});
Then this will work:
app.use('/u/:user_name/', router);
mergeParams is documented here:
