Similar to the last challenge, but now we are chaining 2 functions together. It seems complicated, but it's just javascript.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Instead of responding with the time we can also add a string to the request and pass it to the next function. This is trivial, but it makes for a decent example. The code looks like:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```javascript
|
||
|
|
app.get("/now", middleware(req, res, next) {
|
||
|
|
req.string = "example";
|
||
|
|
next();
|
||
|
|
},
|
||
|
|
function (req, res) {
|
||
|
|
res.send(req.string); // This will display "example" to the user
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
```
