Creating a expressjs middleware that accepts parameters

Question

I am trying to create a middleware that can accept parameters. How can this be done?

example

app.get(\'/hasToBeAdmin\', HasRole(\'Admin\'), function(         


        

Answer 1

function HasRole(role) {
  return function(req, res, next) {
    if (role !== req.user.role) res.redirect(...);
    else next();
  }
}

I also want to make sure that I don't make multiple copies of the same function:

function HasRole(role) {
  return HasRole[role] || (HasRole[role] = function(req, res, next) {
    if (role !== req.user.role) res.redirect(...);
    else next();
  })
}
