How to use custom route middleware with Sails.js? (ExpressJS)

Question

I\'ve just unpacked a fresh copy of the Node framework Sails.js. It is built on Express 3. In the /config/routes.js file is this comment:

/**
 * (1) Core m

I had the same issue of figuring out how to make use of middlewares. They are basically defined in the config/policies.js.
So, if you want to use middlewares(aka policies) like old style, you can do the following (this may not be the nicest way):

// config/policies.js
'*': [ 
  express.logger(),
  function(req, res, next) {
    // do whatever you want to
    // and then call next()
    next();
  }
]

However, the real sailjs way is to put all such policies in api/policies/ folder
