"next('route')" Doesn't Work With ".use()"

Am I doing something wrong here, or does express just not support next('route') with .use()? var express = require('express') var app = express() app.use([ function (req, res, n

Solution 1:

According to the discussion in node issue #2591: since app.use() defines middleware, and not a "route", next('route') is meaningless when used with app.use().

Solution 2:

The only difference I can tell between .all and .use is that .use defaults the path to /.

So this works:

var express = require('express')
var app = express()

app.all('/', [
  function (req, res, next) {
    return next('route')
  },
  function (req, res, next) {
    return res.send('sigma')
  },
])

app.all('/', function (req, res, next) {
  return res.send('alpha')
})

module.exports = app
