You can create route-specific middleware.

// validate.js

export const validateSession = (req, res, next) => {
    // if the user is logged in, continue
    if (req.session.isLoggedIn) return next();
    // otherwise, don't continue and go back to the /home route
    res.redirect('/home');
};

Then pass it in as the second argument when defining your route:

// main.js
import { validateSession } from './validate.js';

app.get('/dashboard', validateSession, (req, res) => { /* ... */ });

app.get('/login', validateSession, (req, res) => { /* ... */ });

app.get('/foo', validateSession, (req, res) => { /* ... */ });
