Express JS redirect to default page instead of “Cannot GET”

Question

I am using express JS and I have a set of routes that I have defined as follows

require(\'./moduleA/routes\')(app);
require(\'./moduleB/routes\')(app);
         


        

Answer 1

Try to add the following route as the last route:

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

Edit:

After a little researching I concluded that it's better to use app.get instead of app.use:

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

because app.use handles all HTTP methods (GET, POST, etc.), and you probably don't want to make undefined POST requests redirect to index page.
