document next('route') about expressjs.com HOT 8 CLOSED

Does this also work in page.js ? if so, needs documenting...

from expressjs.com.

nope

from expressjs.com.

never mind, might be a nice feature some time.

from expressjs.com.

Is this still a thing?

imo this is a weird feature. easier just to have users change req.url or something.

from expressjs.com.

It's actually really useful, and nothing like changing req.url. The use case is something like the following:

app.get('/', user.can('view admin home page').here, function (req, res, next) {
  res.render('admin-home-page');
});
app.get('/', function (req, res, next) {
  res.render('normal-home-page');
});

The user.can('view admin home page').here acts as a guard for that handler, but allows other handlers further down the chain to still work if need be.

from expressjs.com.

A regular next() would do the same thing here now.
