How to add prefix to all node / express routes

Does anyone know of a way to configure express to add a prefix before all routes automatically? for example, currently I have:

/

/route1

/route2

However, I want to add a prefix like:

/prefix/

/prefix/route1

/prefix/route2

Right now I need to define prefix manually to all of my routes but would like a more automated/configurable way. Can someone help?

Thanks in advance!

Solution

  • You can use the express Router() for this.

    You can use the router like you would use your express app. So for example:

    const router = express.Router()
router.use(() => {}); // General middleware
router.get('/route1', () => {})
router.get('/route2', () => {})
router.post('/route2', () => {})

    And then attach the router to your express app using:

    app.use('/prefix', router);
