If you're tired of buch of code in your index.js file with a lot of middlewares and you want to seperate every middleware to autoloaded file.

Installation

npm install --save express-middleware-loader

Useage

Create folder where all your middleware files will be (default name is middlewares) and in your main file (propably index.js) use

// myapp/index.js
var app = express(); //express app object
require("express-middleware-loader")(app, "middlewares");

Where app is express app object and middlewares is folder of middlewares name (optional)

Then each file in middlewares file can be like:

// myapp/middlewares/myMiddleware.js
module.exports = function(req, res, next) {
    // some code
    next();
}

or like (example with external middlewares like bodyParser)

// myapp/middlewares/bodyParser.js
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
module.exports = bodyParser.json();

You can also define multiple middlewares in one file by creating array:

// myapp/middlewares/bodyParser.js
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
module.exports = [
    bodyParser.json(),
    bodyParser.urlencoded({extended: true})
];
