Express Validator

Validate Express routes, middleware order, response flow, asynchronous handlers, error handling, security settings, and production-readiness concerns.

Developer Input

Static browser processing

Node.js / Express source code

const express = require('express');
const app = express();
app.post('/files', async (req, res, next) => {
  res.status(201);
  if (req.query.next) next();
});
app.use((error, req, res) => {
  res.status(500).send(error.stack);
});
app.listen(3000);

How to use this developer tool

Paste Node.js or Express source into the input area.
Select the analysis, conversion, formatting, or generation mode.
Adjust the secondary option for the selected tool.
Run the tool and review the status, output, metrics, and recommendation.
Copy or download the result after checking heuristic findings.

What this developer tool does

Validate Express routes, middleware order, response flow, asynchronous handlers, error handling, security settings, and production-readiness concerns.

Mask strings and comments → detect structural patterns → apply tool-specific rules → calculate live metrics → generate copy-ready output.

Static browser-based processing does not execute Node.js code, resolve installed packages, start a server, or access the project file system.

Example

The preloaded example is valid test input. Run the tool, change the source, and compare how the output and status respond.

Tips for better output

Use complete files when route order or module structure matters.
Disable auto-run for very large inputs.
Review heuristic findings against your actual Node.js version and package configuration.
Do not paste secrets, credentials, or private production data.

FAQ

How can I validate Express routes for duplicate paths?

The route validator compares normalized HTTP methods and paths and reports duplicate definitions with source line references.

How do I detect missing error middleware in Express?

The validator looks for a final four-parameter error-handling middleware and checks whether it appears after route declarations.

How can I check if an Express async handler is safe?

Async validation reports handlers that use async or await without visible forwarding, wrapping, or local error handling.

How do I find response flow errors in Express routes?

The response rules detect status-only calls, possible multiple responses, response followed by next, and handlers that may not send a response.

How can I validate Express security settings online?

Paste the application code to check common CORS, stack exposure, payload-limit, redirect, file-send, and authentication-related risks.
