You can use an Express Router to do so:

const Router = Express.Router();

const path = require('path');
const fs = require('fs');

Router.get('*', async (req, res) => {
  var trimmedPath = req.url.replace(/^\/|\/$/, '').trim().split('/..').join('');
  trimmedPath = path.resolve(path.join(__dirname, 'views', trimmedPath + '.html'));
  if (fs.existsSync(trimmedPath)) fs.readFile(trimmedPath, (err, data) => {
    if (err) return res.status(500).end('<h1>Error 500 - Internal Server Error</h1><p>We are terribly sorry, something went wrong. Copy and paste the long weird text below and send it to their respective owners. We have highly trained monkeys to handle with this drama. No screenshots, screenshots frighten them.</p><pre>' + aes.encrypt(error.stack, 'UsForTheWorld321') + '</pre>');
    data = data.toString();
    return res.status(200).end(data);
  });
});

App.use(Router);
// And finally, for 404 stuff.
App.get('*', async (req, res) => {
  res.status(404).end('<h1>Error 404 - File not found</h1><p>Nothing was found with that url. Try something else.</p>');
});
