I am implementing SPA using express server.
Server is sending index.html files for all 'get' request in the following way.
app.get("/*", (req, res) => {
res.sendFile(path.resolve(__dirname, "/public", "index.html"));
});
By the way, what should I do with the get api request as below? I can't get a request because '/*'
app.get("/:id", (req, res) => {
console.log(req);
});
I think the order is important, so it was the same even if I changed the two and sent the request. Is there a solution?
Following the Keep it simple and to have a more clean deployment, I advice you to have the spa and the api on different hosts, domains, git repositories, etc
In real scenarios, your spa will consume multiple APIs, so host the spa within one of them is not the best choice

Anyway if you need to host the spa inside of api, you need to register the api routes before the static route:
app.get("/:id", (req, res) => {
console.log(req);
});
app.get("/*", (req, res) => {
res.sendFile(path.resolve(__dirname, "/public", "index.html"));
});
