Express parameterized route conflict
You need to add a function to check the parameter and place /new router before /:id:
var express = require('express'), app = express(), r = express.Router();r.param('id', function( req, res, next, id ) { req.id_from_param = id; next();});r.get("/new", function( req, res ) { res.send('some new');});// route to trigger the capturer.get('/:id', function (req, res) { res.send( "ID: " + req.id_from_param );})app.use(r);app.listen(3000, function () { })
