Sending 405 from express.js when there is a route match but no HTTP method match

Question

I\'m looking for a clean way to have my express app return 405 Method Not Allowed if a client sends a request that matches a mapped url route but does not match the mapped H

Answer 1

Kinda old question but here is what i did. I just put this after all my routes but before my 400 handler

// Handle 405 errors
app.use(function(req, res, next) {
  var flag = false;
  for (var i = 0; i < req.route.stack.length; i++) {
    if (req.method == req.route.stack[i].method) {
      flag = true;
    }
  }
  if (!flag) {
    err = new Error('Method Not Allowed')
    err.status = 405;
    return next(err)
  }

  next();
});
