Use Authentication function in express route

Question

I have my controller like this

//Get the Helpers var authHelper = require('authHelper'); //Route router.get('/manager', authHelper.checkPerm(req, res, next), function(req, res) { });

my authHelper.js

exports.checkPerm = function(req, res, next){ if (req.user) { next(); } else { res.redirect('/sign-in'); } }

This is the error i am getting

router.get('/manager', authHelper.checkPerm(req, res, next), function(req, res ^ ReferenceError: req is not defined

You are executing the method checkPerm when passing to the route parameter. Remove the parenthesis along with parameters (req, res, next)

Should be like this:

router.get('/manager', authHelper.checkPerm, function(req, res) ...
