How to use express middleware in SailsJS?

I want to use one of the ExpressJS middleware in SailsJS application. Its the "express-limiter" module(which is a express middleware) for rate limiting an api using IP address. Normally in express we do: 

app.use(limiter({ some parameters }))

How to I use this middleware or any other express middleware in SailsJS application? Appreciate your help.

  1. install the middleware npm install --save express-limiter

  2. change the config/http.js file adding the express-limiter

    middleware: {
   order: [
      'express-limiter-key'
   ],
   'express-limiter-key' = require('express-limiter')
}

the var limiter = require('limiter') won't work since > middleware.orderis simply a lookup, and will search only keywords in middleware object.

  1. Install your middle ware by npm install --save yourMiddleware
  2. Go to sails.config.http.middleware
  3. on top place `var limiter = require('limiter')
  4. Put limiter in the order, I suppose close to the top.
