v0.6.0
Breaking changes
Alias custom function arguments is changed
The route
first argument is removed. The new signature of function is function(req, res) {}
. To access to route use the req.$route
property.
However you can use an array of Function
for aliases. With it you can call middlewares. In this case the third argument is next
. I.e.: function(req, res, next) {}
.
