In Express.js, how do I set a wildcard route to not match for asset files?
One solution I found, is to search for a "." inside the query and then set a flag if it's found:
router.get("/:page", function(req, res) { if (req.render_view) res.render("index");});router.param("page", function(req, res, next, page) { // if request is not an asset file if (page.indexOf(".") == -1) { // do stuff // set a flag req.render_view = true; } next(); });But I would like to find a cleaner solution, possibly using a regular expression in the router.get?
if I understand what you want to do ,you should just do something like :
app.js
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public')); app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/static')); app.use('/:page',function(){}..)this configuration works when ur public and static folder is relative to app.js, when browser request for static file , first server will look at public folder , if file is no there will continue to static folder and finally to /:page
