Wildcard in Express/node.js router

Question

I would like to \"get rid\" of the router in node.js. Currently, what I have is something that looks like this:

app.get \'/thing1\', (req, res) ->
    re         


        

Answer 1

From http://expressjs.com/api.html#app.VERB :

app.get(/^(.*)$/, function(req, res, next){
  res.send(req.params[0]);
});

Answer 2

app.get('/:thing', function (req, res) {
  res.render(req.params.thing)
})
