route-typo-redirect

Make your users happy with catch typos with middleware and redirect to right one.

Works with Express

Install

  npm i route-typo-redirect

Usage

Middleware needs your routes with array of strings. It gets the request path and analyzes it with rules and redirects.

const typoRedirect = require('route-typo-redirect')

app.use("*",typoRedirect({
    routes: ["/chat", "/about/:id", "/home"]
}))

app.use("*",typoRedirect({
    routes: ["/chat", "/about/:id", "/home"],
    blacklist: ["/user"],
}))

app.use("*",typoRedirect({
    routes: ["/chat", "/about/:id", "/home"],
    blacklist: ["/user"],
    levenThreshold: 2,
    fuzzyThreshold: 4,
}))

Also there is a cool snippet to get all routes from Express

  function availableRoutes() {
      return app._router.stack
          .filter((r) => r.route && r.route.path !== "/")
          .map((r) => {
              return r.route.path
          });
  }

  app.use("*",typoRedirect({
    routes: availableRoutes(),
    blacklist: ["/user"],
    levenThreshold: 2,
    fuzzyThreshold: 4,
}))
