I want to check whether user is logged in or not. If the user is not logged in I want to restrict the access. I've used express-rate-limit and setting the rate limit inside if statement but its not working.

It works fine I put that outside if

Any suggestions?

    console.log("Routing");
    console.log(req.originalUrl);
    if(req.cookies['session-token']){
        res.locals.isLoggedIn = true
      }else{
        console.log("Enter into rate limit");
        rateLimit({
          windowMs: 12 * 60 * 60 * 1000, // 12 hour duration in milliseconds
          max: 1,
          message: "You exceeded 100 requests in 12 hour limit!",
          headers: true,
        })
        res.locals.isLoggedIn = false
      }
      next()
})```

My guess is that the `if(req.cookies['session-token'])` condition is resolving to truthy even when you think it shouldn't... – silencedogood Jul 23 '21 at 17:47
Not its not because I can see the `Enter into rate limit` in my log – Rajan Jul 23 '21 at 18:00
Gotchya. And you're positive it works outside the `if` statement? – silencedogood Jul 23 '21 at 18:02
Yes you’re right – Rajan Jul 23 '21 at 19:44
