How to set middleware in loopback js? - loopbackjs

Question

I need to set data in session just after authentication/login so i have set middleware like this.
middleware.json
{
"initial": { },
"session": {
"express-session": {
"params": {
"secret": "mysceret",
"saveUninitialized": true,
"resave": true
}
}
},
"auth:before": {},
"auth": {
"loopback#token": {}
},
"auth:after": {
"./middleware/store-current-user": {}
},
"parse": { }
}
in my store-current-user.js :
module.exports = function (options) {
console.log(" it is working here");
return function storeCurrentUser(req, res, next) {
console.log(" it is not working here");
if (!req.accessToken) {
return next();
}
app.models.User.findById(req.accessToken.userId, function (err, user) {
if (err) {
return next(err);
}
if (!user) {
return next(new Error('No user with this access token was found.'));
}else{
console.log(' ok '); // it is not working.
req.session.user = user;
next();
}
});
};
};
Express-session : "express-session": "^1.15.6".
Loopback version : "loopback": "^3.0.0"
Where I am missing ? I am unable to it figure out.
Please some help.

Try something like this?
module.exports = function () {
console.log(" it is working here");
return function storeCurrentUser(req, res, next) {
console.log(" it is not working here");
if (!req.accessToken) {
next();
}
app.models.User.findById(req.accessToken.userId, function (err, user) {
if (err) {
next(err);
}
if (!user) {
next(new Error('No user with this access token was found.'));
}else{
console.log(' ok '); // it is not working.
req.session.user = user;
next();
}
});
};
};
remove the options (add it back later if you need it)
don't call return next(), just next() alone
also, are you defining app somewhere?
