Create server.js and paste the following code:

const express = require('express');
const app = express();

app.get('/', (req, res, next) => {
  res.send('Welcome Home');
});

app.listen(3000);

async function userMiddleware (req, res, next) {
    try {
        const userData = await getUserData(req.params.id);  //see app.get below

        if(userData) {
                req.user = userData;
                next();
        }
    } catch(error)  {
        res.status(500).send(error.message); //replace with proper error handling
    }
}

var app = express();

//your normal route Handlers
app.get('/user/:id', userMiddleware, userController);

app.use(middlewareA);
app.use(middlewareB);
app.get('/', [middlewareC, middlewareD], handler);

var router = express.Router()
Load router-level middleware by using the router.use() and router.METHOD() functions.
The following example creates a router as a module, loads a middleware function in it, defines some routes, and mounts the router module on a path in the main app.
var express = require(‘express');
var router = express.Router();

// a middleware function with no mount path. This code is executed for every request to the router
// logging
async function logMiddleware (req, res, next) {
    try {
         console.log(req.user.id, new Date());
     next();
    } catch() {
        res.status(500).send(error.message);
    }
}
// authentication
    async function checkAuthentication(req, res, next) => {
// check header or url parameters or post parameters for token
const token = req.body.token || req.query.token || req.headers['x-access-token'] || req.headers['authorization'];
      if (token) {
        try {
            // verifies secret
            req.decoded = await jwt.verify(token, config.secret)

            let checkUser = await authenticateTokenHelper.getUserDetail(req);

            // if everything is good, save to request for use in other routes
                if (checkUser) {
                        req.user = req.decoded
                        next()
                } else {
                    return res.status(403).json({

        }
  } else {
    // if there is no token
    return res.status(400).json({ message: responseMessage.invalidRequest })
  }
}
