================

Jumps in your middleware and extends route requests with references

## Installation ##

`npm install request-extend`

## Methods ##

`reqExtend([namespace,] object [, force]);`

Merges `object`'s keys and values with a routes request variable, which optionally can be contained under a property of `namespace`. `force` defaults to true, and controls whether or not `object` values should overwrite properties already on the request variable.

## Usage ##

```javascript```

var

  express = require( 'express' ),

  reqExtend = require( 'request-extend' ),

  app = express.createServer();

var

  models = {

    user : require( './models/user' ),

    data : require( './models/data' )

  },

  config = require( './config' );

app.configure(function () {

  app.set( 'views', __dirname + '/views' );

  app.set( 'view engine', 'jade' );

  app.use( reqExtend( 'models', models ));

  app.use( reqExtend( 'config', config ));

  app.use( express.static( __dirname + '/public' ));

  app.use( app.router );

});

```

Adds `req.models.user`, `req.models.data` and `req.config` to all requests in your routes.

```javascript

app.get( '/users', function ( req, res, next ) {

  res.render( 'users', { users: req.models.user });

});

```

## Tests ##

Run `node tests/runTests.js` from project root -- testing uses `nodeunit`
