routes - How Can I Manage Session Data in Node.js Without Using the Request Scope? -

i've been experimenting several flavors of session management in node.js: node-session, express-session, etc. these configured in app.js, , implemented @ request level (e.g., req.session) in routes.

to use session management say, check visitor has authenticated, need perform check (e.g., req.session.isloggedin == true) on each of routes enforce login access. here's example:

router.get('/', function(req, res) {   if (req.session.status == undefined) {      res.redirect('/login');     }   else {      res.render('index', {        pagetitle: 'index',       pageid: 'index'     });   } }); 

that means each .get() , .post() have check. work, there way can write once somehwere, in app.js, cover requests?
