how to check every request have the cookie in express js

Question

I am building a crud application using react and node , so i need to check for every request whether the cookie is present or not.

app.all("*", (req,res) => {
 // cookie doesn't exist redirect to login
 if(cookieExist(req.headers.cookie)){
   // how to pass to the next layer ? load the routes below code etc..
  next(); 
 }else{
    res.redirect("/login")
  }
})

const routes = require("./routes/route");

app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(cors());

app.use("/apiServices", apiRoutes)

what i am missing here, getting next() as not defined.

Define next as argument

app.all("*", (req,res, next) => {
 // cookie doesn't exist redirect to login
 if(cookieExist(req.headers.cookie)){
   // how to pass to the next layer ? load the routes below code etc..
  next(); 
 }else{
    res.redirect("/login")
  }
})
