Hi, First of all... Happy new year! Could you please explain to me, how does this work? I browsed throught Connect's (https://github.com/senchalabs/connect) source code, but I don't get it. I would like to write it by myself. app.get( '/', function(req, res, next) { // Set variable req.var = 'Happy new year!'; // Go to next function next(); }, function(req, res, next) { // Returns 'Happy new year!' console.log(req.var); // <- HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? // (...) } ); Thanks in advance!
