what is the best way to pass the nav layout in expressjs with data

I'm having a trouble of passing the navbar layout to all the pages in expressjs. Apparently it works by passing the data in all the render method ( all the pages ) . but I need to have something like view composer such as that has in laravel. Any solutions in expressjs.

I tried with the passing in res.locals in app.js file but for some-reason its doesn't reflect unless i have to restart the server. All the dynamic datas are from monogoose( backend)

Any solutions.

Thanks.
