Edit a simple way to pass data to another function using res.locals

router:

router.get('getDashboardRef/:mobile', userCtl.dashboardReq, userCtl.nextFunction)

dashboardReq

const dashboardReq = async (req, res, next) => {
      try {
        res.locals.regCust = await registeredUser.findOne({ mobile: req.params.mobile });

    if (!res.locals.regCust) {
      console.log("No user found");
      throw new Error("No user found")
    } else {
      res.locals.custDetail = await registeredUser.findOne(req.params);
     next()
    }
  } catch (error) {
    res.status(400).json({
      status: "fail",
      data: error,
    });
  }
};

nextFunction

const nextFunction = (req, res) => {
  //do stuff with res.locals.custDetail
 res.status(201).json({
      status: "success",
      data: { res.locals.regCust },
    });
}
