Use a route as an alias for another route in Express.js

Question

I'm working on a basic blog in Express.js. Say I have route structure like this:

/blog/page/:page

I would also like a /blog route that is essentially an alias for /blog/page/1. How can I handle this easily in Express?

All routes are defined like such:

app.get('/path', function(req, res) {
    //logic
});

Answer 1

Just redirect to that url with another route.

app.get('/blog', function(req, res) {
    res.redirect('/blog/page/1');
});

app.get('/blog/page/:page', function(req, res) {
    //logic
});
