How to match path with regexp with path-to-regexp?

Question

I have path to get user by his id:

/user/{id}

Then I transform it to regexp:

pathToRegexp(path.replace(/\{/g, ':').replace(/\}/g, ''))

And then compare it with

const matchedPaths = this.map.filter((obj: mapper) =>
  requestUrl.match(obj.regexp)
)[0]

But when I go to /user/count it thinks that I am going to /user/{id} .

Answer 1

It will assume whatever you are passing as a parameter. If the same HTTP verb has been used. GET user/{id} --> GET use/regEx(anything) :: It consider regEx(anything) as parameter.

app.get('/:id', function (req, res) {
    res.send(req.params.id)
})

     app.get(/.*fly$/, function (req, res) {
    res.send('/.*fly$/')
})

app.get(/.*plane$/, function (req, res) {
    res.send('/.*plane$/')
})

only "/: id" -> Will run ::

other wise both will run::
