I am trying to build a REST API with express router, which contains of nested sub routes. I have mounted these sub routes in my index.js file.



I have defined it as follows:



// Mounted routes
app.use('/api/v1/Project', new ProjectRouter().routes);
app.use('/api/v1/Project/:projectId/Context', new ContextRouter().routes);
app.use('/api/v1/Project/:projectId/Context/:contextId/Question', new QuestionRouter().routes);
app.use('/api/v1/Project/:projectId/Context/:contextId/Question/:questionId/Answer', new AnswerRouter().routes);


I want to arrange my routes revolved around the functionality and being more complaint towards REST standards.




In the above case the route prefix /api/v1/Project/ is being
repeated over and over again.



Is there some best practice to minimize the redundant routes by
prefixing?

I solved my problem by using the approach detailed in this link Nested Router in Express.JS.



The solution being we have to just mount the nested router in the module as follows:



app.use('/:nestedId/nestedRoute', nestedRouter);


Furthermore we need to also merge the parent route parameters also, we can do this by passing the options object to the express.Router method:



const router = express.Router({ mergeParams: true });
