Is it possible do define a global base path in hapi

I want every hapi route path to start with a prefix (/api/1) without adding it to each route. Is this possible?

The following route should be available with path /api/1/pets and not /pets

const Hapi = require('hapi');
const server = new Hapi.Server();
server.route({
    method: 'GET',
    path: '/pets'
})

The best bet would be to use a constant in the paths - 

server.route({
   method: 'GET',
   path: constants.route.prefix + '/pets')
});

and have the constant defined in a static constants.js file

Seems you can't do it globally for the whole application. But there's a possibility to add prefixes for all the routes defined inside a plugin:

server.register(require('a-plugin'), {
    routes: {
        prefix: '/api/1' 
    }
});

Hope this helps.

Just in case, if you're gonna try to add base path via events for new routes, it's not gonna work.

I don't see such option in Hapi docs. Still, I can suggest you a small workaround. Make some function:

function createRoutePath(routePath) {
  return `/api/1${routePath}`;
}

And then use it this way:

server.route({
    method: 'GET',
    path: createRoutePath('/pets')
});

UPDATE: As another workaround, leave all as is, and setup proxy web server. For example nginx.
