Accessing request & response in the handler

[JUNIORCO]

Use case: one of my endpoints needs to access cookies (req.get(x)), set cookies (res.cookie(x, y)), and sometimes redirect (res.redirect(url)).

What's the cleanest way to do this?

Hello @JUNIORCO ,

Take a look on the first example of Middlewares in the documentation:

https://github.com/RobinTail/express-zod-api#middlewares

Thus, you can make your endpoint handler aware of certain properties of request via options.

For redirecting you should make a ResultHandler, which has direct access to request and response.

By the way, there was another discussion on Cookies. Check this out:
