// Use below code to get your subdomain name
// get your dynamic subdomain
app.use((req, res, next) => {
if (!req.subdomains.length || req.subdomains.slice(-1)[0] === 'www') return next();
// otherwise we have subdomain here
var subdomain = req.subdomains.slice(-1)[0];
// keep it
req.subdomain = subdomain;
next();
});
// conditional render a page
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
// no subdomain
if (!req.subdomain) {
// render home page
// mydomain.com
res.render('home');
} else {
// render subdomain specific page
// mypage.mydomain.com
res.render('mypage');
} // you can extend this else logic to render the different subdomain specific page
});
Note: to test this locally. you can use Nginx reverse proxy to forward your test url req to your local server and do not forget to point your test url to your local host 127.0.0.1 in your hosts file of your machine
