Exclude route from express middleware

Question

I have a node app sitting like a firewall/dispatcher in front of other micro services and it uses a middleware chain like below:

...
app.use app_lookup
app.u         


        

Answer 1

You can also skip route like this by putting a condition on req.originalUrl:

app.use(function (req, res, next) {

    if (req.originalUrl === '/api/login') {
    return next();
    } else {
         //DO SOMETHING
    }
