NodeJS Express - separate routes on two ports

Question

I have an express server, and while building it created several "helper" functions on their own routes. I'd like those routes to be accessed on a different port. Is there anyway to do this in express?

In the code below, the "/factory" route (and other functionality) would be on one port, and the helper routes of "/killallthings", "/listallthings", and "/killserver" would be on a separate port.

Here is a simplified version of the code:

var express = require('express'); var things = []; var app = express(); var port = 8080;   app.post('/factory/', function(req, res) {   //Create a thing and add it to the thing array });  //Assume more functions to do to things here....  app.post('/killallthings/', function(req, res) {   //Destroy all the things in the array });  app.post('/listallthings/', function(req, res) {   // Return a list of all the things });  app.post('/killserver/', function(req,res){   //Kills the server after killing the things and doing clean up });  //Assume https options properly setup.  var server = require('https').createServer(options, app);  server.listen(port, function() {     logger.writeLog('Listening on port ' + port); }); 

Is this possible with express?

Answer 1

Based on Explosion Pills suggestion above, I modified the code in roughly this way:

var express = require('express'); var things = []; var app = express(); var admin_app = express(); var port = 8080;  var admin_port = 8081;  app.post('/factory/', function(req, res) {   //Create a thing and add it to the thing array });  //Assume more functions to do to things here....  admin_app.post('/killallthings/', function(req, res) {   //Destroy all the things in the array });  admin_app.post('/listallthings/', function(req, res) {   // Return a list of all the things });  admin_app.post('/killserver/', function(req,res){   //Kills the server after killing the things and doing clean up });  //Assume https options properly setup.  var server = require('https').createServer(options, app);  server.listen(port, function() {     logger.writeLog('Listening on port ' + port); });  var admin_server = require('https').createServer(options, admin_app);  admin_server.listen(admin_port, function() {     logger.writeLog('Listening on admin port ' + admin_port); }); 

I wish I knew how to give Explosion Pills the credit for the answer! :)
