express-remove-route

Delete a route in express at runtime.

Overview

I wanted the ability to dynamically control Express routing but was not able to delete a route at runtime. This module solves that problem.

Installation

npm install express-remove-route

Usage

var removeRoute = require('express-remove-route');

var app = express();
var router = express.Router();

router.get('/remove/me', function(res, res) {
    res.send('I should not be here');
});

app.use('/foo', router);

removeRoute(app, '/foo/remove/me');

Note that the full path is supplied to removeRoute not just its local path from within the router.

Caveat emptor

This module has been tested against Express 4.13.3. In theory, it should work with all of 4.x.

However, it will definitely NOT work with 3.x.

Also, it makes use of undocumented private Express methods and data structures that may be subject to change.
