How to create additional routes in express for application configured for React-Router?

I have to make an API call from my server. It is already configured in a way that every app.use(/* will return index.html.

So, now when I create an additional route using app.get('/info', it returns the index.html itself.

How to create new routes. Implementing a separate server and backend seems to be the closest approach. But that seems too much for this simple a task.

In Express, routes are checked in the order that they are registered with the app. Because you have a catch all route (/*), anything that you register with the app after assigning that will be matched by the catch all. You should define alternate routes before your catch all.

// first
app.get('/info', infoHandler)
// then
app.use('/*', indexHandler)
