Hi, I type "app.use(expressValidator());" in my app.js, then I type "node app.js" it give me some error:
req.assert("name", 'xxxx0-9，a-z，A-Z').isAlphanumeric();
^
TypeError: Cannot call method 'assert' of undefined

You need to make sure you're using req.assert() inside a route's callback. req is probably undefined because you're trying to use that line outside of the context of a route. See "Usage" in the README for more details.
