Default route in Express.js

As stated here, you can add this middleware just after your routing logic:

   app.use(function(req, res){       res.send(404);   });

You might find this answer also useful.

Of course, you need to adapt the res.send() part to meet your needs.

javascript node.js express url-routing

Add this route at the after of all your previous routes

app.get('*',function (req, res) {        res.redirect('/');    });

This will redirect any route not handled to the index "/"

javascript node.js express url-routing

With the newer version of express I would suggest using res.sendStatus as res.send has been deprecated.

Express v3

app.use(function(req, res){   res.send(404);});

Express v4

app.use(function(req, res){   res.sendStatus(404);});
