Nodejs - Set up different api version

I have following setup for api version1 which will validate token through middle ware

var app = express();
// Auth Middleware - This will check if the token is valid
// Only the requests that start with /api/version1/* will be checked for the token.
// Any URL's that do not follow the below pattern should be avoided unless you 
// are sure that authentication is not needed
app.all('/api/version1/*', [require('./middleWare/validateMyRequest')]);
app.use('/', require('./myModal'));
app.all('/*', function(req, res) {
    res.sendFile('/public/index.html', { root: __dirname });
});

Here i want to set another api version2 in server configuation in which i dont need to validate token using middle ware.I have tried with following config 

app.use('/api/version2/*', require('./myModal'));

When i tried with baseurl with api version2. It always validate token and redirect to login page. Please advise what i am missing here to set up api version2?

Put your two separate APIs each on their own router. You can then have different middleware on each router, one that does one kind of validation/auth, the other that does something different.

app.use('/api/version1', router1);
app.use('/api/version2', router2);


router1.use(require('./middleWare/validateMyRequest'));
router1.get('/whatever', function(req, res) {
    // handle /api/version1/whatever here
});


router2.get('/something', function(req, res) {
    // handle /api/version2/something here
});
