Express router how to route all requests with query parameters?

Question

I am using Router module to route all requests to a specific authorization endpoint.

var router = Router();
app.use(router);
router.route('/*')
        .all([auth, function(req, res){
               res.send("Authorized").end();
        }])

This works if my request url looks like /myapp/cat. But does not work if it is /myapp/cat?eyecolor=brown.

Is there any specific regex format I need to use to get the router recognize ? character and such?

Answer 1

This might help you.

"There is a special routing method, app.all(), which is not derived from any HTTP method. It is used for loading middleware at a path for all request methods." So I'm not exactly sure about router.route(). http://expressjs.com/guide/routing.html

Second: look at examples of route paths based on regular expressions at the above page. /.*fly$/ accepts butterfly, dragonfly, but not flybird. I think your mistake might be the ' ' of you little regexp.
