express.js – how to intercept response.send() / response.json()

by

You can define a middleware as below (taken and modified from this answer)

function modifyResponseBody(req, res, next) {
    var oldSend = res.send;

    res.send = function(data){
        // arguments[0] (or `data`) contains the response body
        arguments[0] = "modified : " + arguments[0];
        oldSend.apply(res, arguments);
    }
    next();
}

app.use(modifyResponseBody);
