Use express-validator as a middleware with websockets

Question

I used Sails.js + Passport.js authentication through websockets to bind passport.js methods for requests through websockets (using sockets.io) , but how should i add express-validator methods to ensure that all requests have methods from it

Answer 1

You can do it without using customMiddleware by adding 'express-validator' in the config/http.js:

order: [
      'startRequestTimer',
      'cookieParser',
      'session',
      'expressValidator',
      'bodyParser',
      'handleBodyParserError',
      'compress',
      'methodOverride',
      'poweredBy',
      '$custom',
      'router',
      'www',
      //'favicon',
      '404',
      '500'
],

expressValidator: require('express-validator')()

This should get you express validator and you can import and use it.

Hope it solves your query.
