覆盖默认的快速路由URL处理程序

Question

The default express router uses : (colon) to mark a parameter eg

users/:id

But when I was using other (non node.js) framework, I have noticed that they use curly brackets, eg

users/{id}

And I prefer the second style because browser escapes curly brackets unlike colon (Which I want to use in my URL), and, I just like it.

So, the question is, can I override default express route URL handler?

Answer 1

You don't need to include the colon in the url.

If you use users/:id

And get this url

users/something

Here your req.params will be:

{
   id:"something"
}

Answer 2

Unfortunately you cant. The Express.js framework relies on path-to-regexp library for extracting params from urls. And its usage is hardcoded inside the codebase , so you don't have any extension points to override that behavior.
