before route?

[edgar-maciel]

Hi,

have some method as before route where I can implement a logic before routing?

thank you

[jgallen23]

currently, that is not supported. Are you looking to run something before every route or before a specific route?

[edgar-maciel]

Hello @jgallen23

Thanks for your quick reply.

The Intent is to implement a function to be called before all routes.

You suggest something?

[jgallen23]

sounds like a good feature. would you be willing to do a pull request?

[ramiel]

I developed the same thing, very similar to Gallen library. Maybe you're interested.

Even jgallen for a pull request of a similar functionality.

Thanks

I planned to add middleware for both before & after but i cant execute the tests properly. It seems like you have moved from Make to Grunt but not updated the docs?

[jgallen23]

yeah, I need to update the docs, I'll work on that

Ok, I solve this using a wrapper fabric function:

  var middleware = function (fn) {
    return function () {
      console.log('Middleware in action!');
      fn.apply(null, arguments)
    }
  }

  routie({
    'path_to_route/:id': middleware(function (id) {
      // code...
      console.log('Params ok!', id)
    })
  })
