Is there a way to pass the route?

[nofear87]

Is it possible to pass the route to the login function? For example to check that only a user with special role like admin can access a spcial page?

My Ideas is to check this at this point:

function isLoggedIn(req, res, next) {

    // if user is authenticated 
        //and when route/page = admin user must have role admin
    if (req.isAuthenticated()) {

        return next();

    }

    // if they aren't redirect them to the home page
    res.redirect('/');

}

Or is there another way? Thank you!

If you've got unique logic for administrators, I'd copy your standard isLoggedIn functionality to a new method like IsLoggedInAndAdmin that does a database check based on the current user's permissions.

When you need that additional check, you could call the method like so in your routing setup:

app.get("/admin", IsLoggedInAndAdmin, admin);
