Express.js - Allow infinite subroutes, but at least one

Question

I want to allow any subroute after /example/... .

Example of valid URLs:

• /example/one
• /example/one/two
• /example/one/two/three

But doing this:

server.get('/example/*', (req, res) => {
   // ...
})

Is also allowing /example without any subroute. And I want to avoid this. How can I do it? Is there any way without using regex?

Thank you so much!

Answer 1

You could simply define two routes - one for /example and another for all /example -subroutes, you need to make sure the order is correct though:

app.get('/example', (req, res) => {     
    // render default page
});

app.get('/example/*', (req, res) => {
   // do other stuff
});
