node.js - Dynamic routing based on file system directory search -

i want route html page without having '.html' in url. trying creating custom router looks through directory , checks see if there file extension '.html', if there route page.

i need allow router fall through '/api' route if url contains '/api'. want allow users html files without having type file extension , keep other routing intact.

var express = require('express'); var path = require('path'); var fs = require('fs'); var router = express.router(); var app = express();  router.route('/:id')     .get(function(req, res) {         fs.readdir('public/', function(err, items) {             (var i=0; i<items.length; i++) {               if (req.params.id == path.basename(items[i])) {                 app.get(function(req, res) {                     res.render(items[i]);                 });             }           }         });     });  router.route('/api')   .get(function (req, res) { ... })   .post(function (req, res) { ... });  app.use('/', router); 

i tried using express.static not working either.

fs.readdir('public/', function(err, items) { (var i=0; i<items.length; i++) { if (path.extname(items[i]) == '.html') { app.use('/' + path.basename(items[i], '.html'), express.static(items[i])); } } });
