expressjs watch all routes code example

Example 1: express js list all routes

const listEndpoints = require("express-list-endpoints"); // npm i express-list-endpoints
console.log(listEndpoints(app)); // where app = express();

Example 2: express get all routes and methods

function print (path, layer) {
  if (layer.route) {
    layer.route.stack.forEach(print.bind(null, path.concat(split(layer.route.path))))
  } else if (layer.name === 'router' && layer.handle.stack) {
    layer.handle.stack.forEach(print.bind(null, path.concat(split(layer.regexp))))
  } else if (layer.method) {
    console.log('%s /%s',
      layer.method.toUpperCase(),
      path.concat(split(layer.regexp)).filter(Boolean).join('/'))
  }
}

function split (thing) {
  if (typeof thing === 'string') {
    return thing.split('/')
  } else if (thing.fast_slash) {
    return ''
  } else {
    var match = thing.toString()
      .replace('\\/?', '')
      .replace('(?=\\/|$)', '$')
      .match(/^\/\^((?:\\[.*+?^${}()|[\]\\\/]|[^.*+?^${}()|[\]\\\/])*)\$\//)
    return match
      ? match[1].replace(/\\(.)/g, '$1').split('/')
      : '<complex:' + thing.toString() + '>'
  }
}

app._router.stack.forEach(print.bind(null, []))
