在某些情况下，404页面不能被写入并作为最后一个路由执行，特别是如果您有一个异步路由功能，从而引入了一个迟到的/路由。在这些情况下可以采用下面的模式。

var express = require("express.io"),
    app = express(),
    router = express.Router();

router.get("/hello", function (req, res) {
    res.send("Hello World");
});

// Router is up here.
app.use(router);

app.use(function(req, res) {
    res.send("Crime Scene 404. Do not repeat");
});

router.get("/late", function (req, res) {
    res.send("Its OK to come late");
});

app.listen(8080, function (){
    console.log("Ready");
});

首先，创建一个route js文件。接下来，创建一个错误。Ejs文件(如果您正在使用Ejs)。最后，在路由文件中添加以下代码

router.get('*', function(req, res){
    res.render('error');
});

我认为你应该首先定义你所有的路线，然后作为最后的路线添加

//The 404 Route (ALWAYS Keep this as the last route)
app.get('*', function(req, res){
  res.status(404).send('what???');
});

一个示例应用程序的工作:

app.js:

var express = require('express'),
    app = express.createServer();

app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));

app.get('/', function(req, res){
  res.send('hello world');
});

//The 404 Route (ALWAYS Keep this as the last route)
app.get('*', function(req, res){
  res.send('what???', 404);
});

app.listen(3000, '127.0.0.1');

我发现这个例子很有帮助:

https://github.com/visionmedia/express/blob/master/examples/error-pages/index.js

所以，它实际上是这一部分:

// "app.router" positions our routes
// above the middleware defined below,
// this means that Express will attempt
// to match & call routes _before_ continuing
// on, at which point we assume it's a 404 because
// no route has handled the request.

app.use(app.router);

// Since this is the last non-error-handling
// middleware use()d, we assume 404, as nothing else
// responded.

// $ curl http://localhost:3000/notfound
// $ curl http://localhost:3000/notfound -H "Accept: application/json"
// $ curl http://localhost:3000/notfound -H "Accept: text/plain"

app.use(function(req, res, next) {
  res.status(404);

  // respond with html page
  if (req.accepts('html')) {
    res.render('404', { url: req.url });
    return;
  }

  // respond with json
  if (req.accepts('json')) {
    res.json({ error: 'Not found' });
    return;
  }

  // default to plain-text. send()
  res.type('txt').send('Not found');
});

我在定义所有路由后所做的是捕捉潜在的404并转发到错误处理程序，如下所示:

    const httpError = require('http-errors');

    ...

    // API router
    app.use('/api/', routes);
    
    // catch 404 and forward to error handler
    app.use((req, res, next) => {
      const err = new httpError(404)
      return next(err);
    });

    module.exports = app;

发送到自定义页面:

app.get('*', function(req, res){
  if (req.accepts('html')) {
     res.send('404', '<script>location.href = "/the-404-page.html";</script>');
     return;
  }
});
