    text
    copied!<p>I'm developing a reserved area that has the follow few pages:</p> <pre><code>/dashboard /dashboard/profile /dashboard/user /dashboard/view </code></pre> <p>that's a simple user control panel. At the moment i have four routes:</p> <pre><code>app.all('/dashboard', function(req, res, next) { /* Code */ }); app.all('/dashboard/profile', function(req, res, next) { /* Code */ }); app.all('/dashboard/user', function(req, res, next) { /* Code */ }); app.all('/dashboard/view', function(req, res, next) { /* Code */ }); </code></pre> <p>I would like to optimize it because in each of the above routes i have to call this function at the beginning:</p> <pre><code>authorized(req, function(auth){ if (!auth) return next(errors.fire(403)); /* route code */ }); </code></pre> <p>This function checks if the user is logged, so i need to call it on every reserved page.</p> <p>I would do something like:</p> <pre><code>app.all('/dashboard/*', function(req, res, next) { authorized(req, function(auth){ if (!auth) return next(errors.fire(403)); res.render(something, {}) }); }); </code></pre> <p>the <code>something</code> inside the res.render call has to be the view (page) I need to open. </p> <p>I want to call it <strong>ONE</strong> time, to remove redundant code.</p> <p>That could be the home of the panel (if the user wants /dashboard) or the page (if the user wants a page inside /dashboard like /dashboard/profile) in the last case i need to render 'profile' view.</p> <p>(I have to do a check before pass the view to render(), because if someone try /dashboard/blablablabla it should be a problem.)</p> <p>Thank you</p>
