ExpressJS problem with rendering subdomain

I am writing store and i have a problem with rendering.

I want to have subdomain /category and it's working just find for route like tis

const CategoryOne = ((req, res) =>{ res.render('shop/category'); }); router.get('/category', CategoryOne);

This is working perfect, but when i go on subdomain category/shoes i want to be redirect on /category with parametr shoes

const Category = ((req, res) =>{
  const categoryPass = req.params.category;
  res.render('shop/category', {
    category: categoryPass 
  });
});
router.get('/category/:category', Category);

and it's not working, should i redirect? When i do it

res.redirect('/category')

Then i dont have category parametr

EDIT: What i have done so far:

const CategoryOne = ((req, res) =>{
const passedCategory = req.session.categorypassed;
req.session.categorypassed = undefined;
console.log(passedCategory);
Product.find((err, response) => {
res.render('shop/category', {
  title: 'Test', products: response, category: passedCategory
});
});

});

const Category = ((req, res) =>{
  req.session.categorypassed = req.params.category;
  res.redirect('/category');
});

The problem is, when i refresh page i dont have this paramets, is there any way to save it?

A better way to handle this is to use a central public directory for your assets and request them with an absolute path, such as /assets/images/logo.png, instead of a relative path, such as assets/images/logo.png.

You can read more about relative and absolute paths here
