locally i have

var STACK_ITEM_VALID_NAMES = [
  '<anonymous>',
  'router',
  'bound dispatch',
  'mounted_app'
]

and this seems to work perfectly. happy to put together a 1 line PR, but wondering if any reason to exclude these? in many apps not allowing app.use(path, router), which results in routes misses a big number of them.

Hi sorry about my delay to reply and thanks for paying attention to the project.

Can u provide an example of use to receive that <anonymous> value?

Like:

express = require('express')
app = express()

app.use('/bar', () => {})

console.log(app._router.stack[2]);

Do you think it would be useful? I mean, I didn't find any way to know which methods it exposes. Also, It would expose nonexistent endpoints, for example, if you are using a middleware attached to a route like this:

app.use('/api', jsonBodyParser)

That would be exposed as an endpoint although it's only a middleware and is not going to provide a response.

Created PR #90 by adding includeMiddlewareRoutes as an optional configuration.

The potentially valid use-cases:

• The handler might be registered via .use() because internally it has logic which handles multiple requests / request methods
• The handler might be registered via .use() because it doesn't care about the request method (A collaborative project where the team members may not be following a strict standard)
• The generated list is going to be utilized by developers for an overview of the project's architecture and it is helpful for its debugging nature
