Express js prevent GET /favicon.ico

Question

In every request, my server is receiving GET request to /favicon.ico, even when it\'s REST api that not include html file. Why is this happening and how can I prevent this r

Answer 1

my preferred method is middleware

put this somewhere:

function ignoreFavicon(req, res, next) {
  if (req.originalUrl.includes('favicon.ico')) {
    res.status(204).end()
  }
  next();
}

then:

app.use(ignoreFavicon);
