如何正确设置路线？

Question

Here is a sample code:

    var x = require('./folder/usefile');

    var Auth = passport.authenticate('jwt', { session: false });

    module.exports = function(app){
    console.log('inside function(app)'); //line 1 executed!

    var player = express.Router();
    var finalRun = express.Router();

    app.use('/api/usefile',player);

    player.get('/', Auth, x.login);

    player.post('/post', Auth, function(req, res){
      x.register});

    app.use('/api',finalRun);
console.log('inside api'); //line 2 is executed!
    }

In usefile my login function is present which is exported.

I am using passport here, whose functionality is present in separate file here it is used only for authentication.

When I ran http://localhost:8080/api/usefile/--- > for get method, it is displaying 404. same for post method.

The console is printing line 1 and line 2(have mentioned in the comments) and the flow is line1, line2.

Can anyone help me to find what mistake I have made here?

You've created two Router instances player and finalRun . There are two main issues:

1. This line player.use('/usefile',player) should be app.use('/usefile',player) . express.Router().use is used to add a middleware for all routes registered to the router (in this case player ). For example, if you wanted to use the Auth middleware from Passport for every player route, you could declare it as player.use(Auth) .
2. You are not declaring any route handling for the finalRun router. So in this case, your route handlers registered with player will handle host/usefile and finalRun will handle any host/api .

If you are wanting the handlers registered with player to handle /api/usefile , using a single router instance would be far simpler.

Register the /api/usefile path with the player router like:

app.use('/api/usefile', player);
