Multiple express routers using root path

I am facing the problem of using an express router.

Here's some sample code:

// file.js (1st to be imported)
module.exports = function (app) {
    app.use('/', fileRouter);
};

fileRouter.get('/file', /* do stuff */ );

// user.js
module.exports = function (app) {
    app.use('/', userRouter);
};

userRouter.get('/user', /* do stuff */ );
userRouter.get('/userList', /* do stuff */ );

We cannot prefix our routers, and we do not want to change our path architecture.

It seems like two regex routers are being added but duplicated.

It might look like this:

/
=> /file

/
=> /user
=> /userList

Instead

/
=> /file
=> /user
=> /userList

So instead of looking for two routers, it stops at the first one.

Do you know how we can solve this problem?

If the route matches, and you still want subsequent routes to run if they match, use the third functional parameter of the route callback:



userRouter.get( '/', function( req, res, next ) {  
  /* Do something... */
  next();
});
