Example 1
Create a file with the name "reqRoute.js" and copy the following code snippet. After creating the file, use the command "node reqRoute.js" to run this code as shown in the example below −
// req.route Property Demo Example // Importing the express module var express = require('express'); // Initializing the express and port number var app = express(); // Initializing the router from express var router = express.Router(); var PORT = 3000; // Defining an endpoint and checking req.route app.get('/api', function (req, res) { console.log(req.route); res.send(); }); app.listen(PORT, function(err){ if (err) console.log(err); console.log("Server listening on PORT", PORT); });
Hit the following Endpoint with a GET request − localhost:3000/api
Output
C:\home
ode>> node reqRoute.js Server listening on PORT 3000 Route { path: '/api', stack: [ Layer { handle: [Function], name: '', params: undefined, path: undefined, keys: [], regexp: /^\/?$/i, method: 'get' } ], methods: { get: true } }
Example 2
Let's take a look at one more example.
// req.route Property Demo Example // Importing the express module var express = require('express'); // Initializing the express and port number var app = express(); // Initializing the router from express var router = express.Router(); var PORT = 3000; // Defining an endpoint and checking req.route app.get('/api', function (req, res) { console.log("Path is: " + req.route.path); res.send("Path is: "+ req.route.path); }); app.listen(PORT, function(err){ if (err) console.log(err); console.log("Server listening on PORT", PORT); }); var express = require('express'); var app = express(); var PORT = 3000;
Hit the following Endpoint with a GET Request − localhost:3000/api
Output
C:\home
