I have a Rendr middleware which load data for my application but I want to parse the parameters of the request for having the params array like in controllers.

var LocationsService = require('../../services/locations'),
    PlacesService = require('../../services/places');

/**
 * Middleware for data used by application
 */
module.exports = function(req, res, next) {
    var app = req.rendrApp;

    LocationsService.getLocationBySlug(app, 'paris-france', function(err, locationResult) {
      if (err) {
        return next(err);
      }

      var location = locationResult.location;

      PlacesService.getPlacesByLocation(app, location.id, function(err, placesResult) {
        if (err) {
          return next(err);
        }

        var places = placesResult.places;

        app.set('location', location);
        app.set('places', places);
        next();
      });
    });
};

the middleware runs before the router, so I don't think this is possible. We accomplish something very similar to this by adding the data to this.app in app.js's postInitialize method. For your case you could have a default controller that has a method you call from each of them to set the location/place data based on the params.
