Rewrite url path using node.js

Sure, just add a middleware function to modify it. For example:

app.use(function(req, res, next) {
  if (req.url.slice(-1) === '/') {
    req.url = req.url.slice(0, -1);
  }
  next();
});

This function removes the trailing slash from all incoming request URLs. Note that in order for this to work, you will need to place it before the call to app.use(app.router).


A good idea should be to update the path too. My method suggestions:

app.use(function(req, res, next) {
    console.log("request", req.originalUrl);
    const removeOnRoutes = '/not-wanted-route-part';
    req.originalUrl = req.originalUrl.replace(removeOnRoutes,'');
    req.path = req.path.replace(removeOnRoutes,'');
    return next();
});

By this way /not-wanted-route-part/users will became /users
