Modifying Express.js Request Object

Question

In express.js, I would like to provide an additional attribute on the request object for each of my URI listeners. This would provide the protocol, hostname, and port number

Answer 1

You can use a middleware. Add this to your app.configure block:

app.use(function (req, res, next) {
  req.root = 'WHAT YOU WANT';
  next();
});

Every request will go tough this function, and afterwards go to the right url-block thanks to next().
