I'm building a website where some parameters need to be passed to the frontend for every page that's loaded (ie text that's used in a navbar that is on everypage). At the moment I'm just including all the parameters in every render line but I'm wondering if there's a more efficient way to do it (in middleware for example). The two parameters below are being used in every render.
return res.render('index', {
docTitle: i18n.__('home'),
isLoggedIn: req.session.isLoggedIn,
})
You could create your own render function, where you set the default values and delegate to res.render:
const customResRender = (req, res, page, params = {}) =>
res.render(page, {
docTitle: i18n.__('home'),
isLoggedIn: req.session.isLoggedIn,
...params
});
Then, use it instead of res.render:
app.get("/someHandler", (req, res) => {
// ...
customResRender(req, res, "index");
});
