Express .use() callback gets called multiple times when using express.static()

Question

I'm trying to authenticate user and once authenticated I want to create a new user in my own database with the data provided by authentication server.

The problem I am facing is that this createNewAccount() gets called 3 times. I don't exactly know why but once I removed the express.static('app/web') call this no longer happens. Still I need that call to serve static content, can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

expressApp.use('/console',requiresAuth(),express.static('app/web'), (req,res)=>{
    createNewAccount(req.oidc.user.email);

});

Answer 1

It might be additional requests to static files like favicon.ico, manifest.json etc.

so callback fires on each of them :)
