做到这一点最简单的方法是为错误页提供一个捕捉

// Step 1: calling express
const express = require("express");
const app = express();

Then

// require Path to get file locations
const path = require("path");

现在您可以将所有的“html”页面(包括错误的“html”页面)存储在一个变量中

// Storing file locations in a variable
var indexPg = path.join(__dirname, "./htmlPages/index.html");
var aboutPg = path.join(__dirname, "./htmlPages/about.html");
var contactPg = path.join(__dirname, "./htmlPages/contact.html");
var errorPg = path.join(__dirname, "./htmlPages/404.html"); //this is your error page

现在你只需使用Get方法调用页面，并使用app.get("*")捕获所有不可用的路由，以指向你的错误页面。

//Step 2: Defining Routes
//default page will be your index.html
app.get("/", function(req,res){
  res.sendFile(indexPg);
});
//about page
app.get("/about", function(req,res){
  res.sendFile(aboutPg);
});
//contact page
app.get("/contact", function(req,res){
  res.sendFile(contactPg);
});
//catch all endpoint will be Error Page
app.get("*", function(req,res){
  res.sendFile(errorPg);
});

不要忘记设置一个端口和监听服务器:

// Setting port to listen on
const port = process.env.PORT || 8000;
// Listening on port
app.listen(port, function(){
  console.log(`http://localhost:${port}`);
})

这将显示所有未识别端点的错误页面!

// Add this middleware
// error handler
app.use(function(err, req, res, next) {
 // set locals, only providing error in development
   res.locals.message = err.message;
   res.locals.error = req.app.get('env') === 'development' ? err : {};

 // render the error page
   res.status(err.status || 500);
   res.render('error');
  });

app.get('*',function(req,res){
 res.redirect('/login');
});

你问题的答案是:

app.use(function(req, res) {
    res.status(404).end('error');
});

有一篇很棒的文章讲述了为什么这是最好的方法。

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');

如果您使用express-generator包:

下(err);

这段代码将您发送到404中间件。
