I would like to be able to set an app.use() path depending on the domain my Node.JS server receives the request as to return one set of files or another. I have tried with the following code, but when testing the files are never returned to the client.
app.use('/scripts', (req, res) => {
if (req.host == `mysite.com`) {
express.static(path.resolve(__dirname, 'landing', 'frontend/scripts'));
} else if (req.host == `admin.mysite.com`) {
express.static(path.resolve(__dirname, 'admin', 'frontend/scripts'));
}
});
I am using express as a dependancy to try and do this, but no avail, I am willing to try other packages if this can help solve my issue.
Not tested, but I would assume you can keep a reference to each static route and then just forward the requests, don't forget next so that normal 404 can be handled.
eg.
const static1 = express.static(path.resolve(__dirname, 'landing', 'frontend/scripts'));
const static2 = express.static(path.resolve(__dirname, 'admin', 'frontend/scripts'));
app.use('/scripts', (req, res, next) => {
if (req.hostname == `mysite.com`) {
static1(req, res, next);
} else if (req.hostname == `admin.mysite.com`) {
static2(req, res, next);
} else res.end(`host: ${req.hostname} not found`);
});
