I have a Ruby Sinatra app and I have some code which I need to execute on all routes except for a few exceptions. How do I do this? If I wanted to execute the code on selected routes (whitelist style) I'd do this: ['/join', "/join/*", "/payment/*"].each do |path| before path do #some code end end How do I do it the other way round though (blacklist style)? I want to match all routes except '/join'
