Router All Methods in Express.js

The router.all() method matches all the HTTP Methods. This method is mainly used for mapping "global" logic for specific path prefixes and arbitrary matches.

Syntax

router.all( path, [callback, ...] callback )

Example 1

Create a file with the name "routerAll.js" and copy the following code snippet. After creating the file, use the command "node routerAll.js" to run this code as shown in the example below −

// router.all() Method 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;

// Setting the single route in api
router.all('/user', function (req, res) {
console.log("Home Page is called");
res.end();
});
app.use(router);
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 − http://localhost:3000/user

Output

C:\home
ode>> node routerAll.js
Server listening on PORT 3000
Home Page is called

Example 2

Let's take a look at one more example.

// router.all() Method 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 multiple routes
router.all('/home', function (req, res) {
   console.log("Home Page is called");
   res.end();
});
router.all('/index', function (req, res) {
   console.log("Index Page is called");
   res.end();
});
router.all('/api', function (req, res) {
   console.log("API Page is called");
   res.end();
});
app.use(router);
app.listen(PORT, function(err){
if (err) console.log(err);
console.log("Server listening on PORT", PORT);
});

Hit the following Endpoint one by one with a GET request −

• http://localhost:3000/home

• http://localhost:3000/index

• http://localhost:3000/app

Output

C:\home
ode>> node routerAll.js
Server listening on PORT 3000
Home Page is called
Index Page is called
API Page is called
