express.js 4: catch bodyParser error in router's errorHandler
You need to have testRouter use the body parser middleware: // not this: app.use(bodyParser.json()); // but this: testRouter.use(bodyParser.json()); Otherwise the default router will handle the error, like you noticed. If you also want to use the body parser middleware for the default router, make sure that you declare it after...
How to rely on other middlewares in express?
If your middleware requires body-parser and it would insert that middleware into the middleware chain itself, it may become problematic when the user is already including body-parser in their app (in other words, body-parser would be included twice). It may work (never tried), but it may also cause unintended side...
ExpressJs is not serving index.html
So after many hours of fiddling and reading I replaced this code: app.use(express.static('./src/app')); app.use(express.static('./')); app.use(express.static('./temp')); app.use('/*', express.static('./src/index.html')); with this: app.use(express.static(__dirname)); app.use(express.static(process.cwd())); app.route('/*') .get(function(req, res) { res.sendFile(__dirname + '/index.html'); }); and it appears to have solved the problem...
sending multiple files down the pipe
There is no way to send multiple files like that in a single response, unless you use your own special formatting (standard multipart or otherwise) and then parse that on the client side (e.g. via XHR). Probably the easiest workaround would be to archive (zip, 7zip, tarball, etc.) the files...
getting form data in node js:undefined error while submitting form
I'm not having issue with this code: var app = require('express')(); var server = require('http').Server(app); var bodyParser = require('body-parser'); app.use(bodyParser.json()); app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false })); app.post('/login',function(req,res){ console.log(req.body); console.log("server"+req.body.username+req.body.password); }); var server = app.listen(3000); And testing with: curl 'http://127.0.0.1:3000/login' --data 'username=zetg&password=zetgze' I don't know what is wrong with your code, but try...
What is wrong with Nodejs?
node.js,express,runtime-error,middleware,multer
What done=true is doing, is declaring a global variable called done. In order for it to not be a global variable, use the var key word e.g. var done = true. It is generally regarded as a bad idea to declare global variables. JavaScript has an optional mode called strict...

Write NodeJS stream into a string synchronously
Streams in node.js are not synchronous - they are event driven. They just aren't synchronous. So, you can't get their results into a string synchronously. If you have no choice but to use a stream, then you have no choice but to deal with the contents of the stream asynchronously....
Express can't set headers after they're sent while downloading from mobile
When a browser asks the server for a request with a GET, it sends an ACCEPT statement in the header information. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Content_negotiation#The_Accept.3A_header So, I'd guess that your browser makes its request and says to the server (in its header) "I can accept graphics files, video files, HTML files, text...
How to create subdomain for user in node.js
As I mentioned in OP comments, using Nginx webserver in front of Node would be very good option, since this is a secure way to listen 80 port. You can also serve static files (scripts, styles, images, fonts, etc.) more efficiently, as well as have multiple sites within a single...

How to handle one express route different than all other
javascript,node.js,express,routes
As of Express version 4.x, app.router has been removed. Routes are now executed in the order they are added. Now you may use the express.Router because it will allow you to have isolated instances of routes and in your example you could create many routers with their own versioned routes....
Emitting and receiving socket io within the same file
If you are trying to emit and listen for events within the same file, you should be using the built in event listeners for node, not the specialized ones for socket.io (https://nodejs.org/api/events.html): var EventEmitter = require('events').EventEmitter; var eventExample = new EventEmitter; //You can create event listeners: eventExample.on('anEvent', function(someData){ //Do something...

How to correctly use Express 4 multiple routers
javascript,node.js,express,routes
Method routes (.get, .post, and of course .all) are terminal. This is why you can use wildcards with them as well. .use is not terminal and doesn't allow wildcards -- it acts as a prefix. This is an implementation choice of express. Use .use without wildcards. .use does not set...

NodeJs + ExpressJs app routing odd behavior

Get local json file using request-promise
javascript,json,angularjs,node.js,express
Relative paths (starting with ../ or ./) are relative to the current working directory. If you want to read a file relative to the current JS source file, you need to prefix the path with __dirname, which is the directory where the current JS source file resides: fs.readFile(__dirname + '/../testJSON/user.json',...

Node Server - Source Code accessible
The obvious answer is to change the directory used in the express.static() middleware if you're using that. Typically there is a public or similarly-named directory that you would create that holds only your public assets.

res.send and res.render calls
You could use content negotiation for that, where your AJAX request sets the Accept header to tell your Express server to return JSON instead of HTML: router.get('/reports', function(req,res) { ... if (req.accepts('json')) { return res.send(theData); } else { return res.render('reports', ...); }; }); Alternatively, you can check if the request...
Using Express' route paths to match `/` and `/index`
javascript,regex,node.js,express,path
The question mark is for optional route parameters, not optional route segments. For example: app.route('/:myVar?'); With app.route('/(index)?'); you are matching routes that are literally "http://myapp.com/(index)". You want a regular expression route. app.route(/^\/(index)?$/); ^ - matches the beginning of a line, so that the whole expression must match from the beginning....

Req.files in undefined at the server side (built with express & node) when sending files using dropzone
The tutorial you were following is quite outdated, and certainly written for old version of express. With express 4.0, released in April 2014, (almost) all built-in middleware was dropped, including the one parsing uploaded files as req.files. That's the problem, and the solution is to use separate module to handle...

how to determine logged in user in a mean stack application

If you are using passport you just have to access req.user as it was already mentioned. Taking a look at your gist, my guess is that some of your routes are defined much earlier than app.use(passport.initialize()); and app.use(passport.session());, which means that if you receive a request to get /opportunity_ids (for...
Use socket.io-client with Express and nodejs to send query to java server

Angularjs Login authentication redirection getting — Error: Can't set headers after they are sent

Looks like there are least two problems in your controller. You have res.status(404).send({err: 'User Not Found.'}); followed by res.redirect('/login');. Both send and redirect finish the request and respond the request, so that's basically like trying to respond twice. That's probably what is giving you the "can't set headers" error. This...
