How to properly use routing in Express + Angular to serve files?

Question

Angular

I use this variant of routes for the admin panel

app.get('/admin/:folder/:file', function(req, res) {
      res.sendFile(__dirname+'/admin/' + req.params.folder + '/' + req.params.file.replace('.map',''));
    });
  app.get('/admin/*', function(req, res) {
      res.sendFile(__dirname+'/admin/index.html');
    });

Everything works fine, but there is one minus, in Angular I cannot use routes with two slashes like admin/admin/admin, because when I reload the page, Express says that there is no such file. How to deal with this problem or how do you make routes?

Answer 1

Dump all server routes (that serve data from the server) into a separate subset, like /admin/files/:folder/:file
On the client, don't use routes starting with /admin/files
