How to configure Stormpath as middleware in Sails.js

What is the best way to implement the following code in sails.js v0.10.5? Should I be handling this with a policy, and if so, how? The init() function required by Stormpath requires Express (app) as an argument. Currently, I am using the following code in sails.config.http.js as custom middleware.

customMiddleware: function(app) {
        var stormpathMiddleware = require('express-stormpath').init(app, {
            apiKeyFile: '',
            application: '',
            secretKey: ''
        });
        app.use(stormpathMiddleware);
    }

Yes, this is the preferred way of enabling custom Express middleware with Sails if it does more than just handling a request (as in your case, where .init requires app). For simpler cases where you want to implement custom middleware that just handles requests, you can add the handler to sails.config.http.middleware and also add the handler name to the sails.config.http.middleware.order array. See the commented out defaults in config/http.js for an example using myRequestLogger.

Also note that the $custom key in the sails.config.http.middleware.order array indicates where the customMiddleware code will be executed, so you can change the order if necessary.
