Pass request to every Swig template using Express

Is it possible to pass request/req object to every template I render, so I wouldn't have to pass it as local in every render() method?

Solution

  • You can use res.locals for that.

    Insert the following middleware somewhere before your routes:

    app.use(function(req, res, next) {
  res.locals.req = req;
  next();
});

    This exposes req as a variable in your templates.
