HA-Proxy - trying to create different paths for my docker containers but only default_backend works

I have my haproxy container called 'proxy_container' running on port 80 on my localhost. With two other containers called 'client_container' which is just an html file, and 'server_container' which is a nodejs basic api I wrote. All connected to a single docker network called 'appnet'.

docker ps:

    CONTAINER ID   IMAGE          COMMAND                  CREATED              STATUS              PORTS                NAMES
f6fa17dbd444   ebdc86ff4850   "docker-entrypoint.s…"   About a minute ago   Up About a minute   80/tcp               server_container
32ebf717e9de   8657ad512e31   "/docker-entrypoint.…"   About a minute ago   Up About a minute   80/tcp               client_container
bc3f94b668cd   bd8334ffaaad   "docker-entrypoint.s…"   About a minute ago   Up About a minute   0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp   proxy_container

Here is my haproxy.cfg file:

global
    daemon
    maxconn 2000
    stats   socket /var/run/haproxy.sock mode 777

resolvers docker
    nameserver dns "${DNS_TCP_ADDR}:${DNS_TCP_PORT}" #127.0.0.11:53

defaults
    mode        http
    option      dontlognull
    option      forwardfor
    option      httpclose
    option      httplog
    retries     3
    timeout     check    5s
    timeout     client   5s
    timeout     connect  10s
    timeout     server   10s

frontend main
    bind *:80
    mode http
    option http-server-close
    option forceclose

    timeout client 60s
    timeout connect 10s
    timeout server 1m

    acl url_ui path_beg /home
    acl url_api path_beg /api
    use_backend ui if url_ui
    use_backend api if url_api

    #deafult_backend ui

backend api
    # mode http
    # server api server_container
    server api server_container.appnet:80 check resolvers docker resolve-prefer ipv4

backend ui
    # mode http
    # server client client_container
    server client client_container.appnet:80 check resolvers docker resolve-prefer ipv4

The default_backend ui line that I commented out worked fine when typing 0.0.0.0/ in my browser. I want to change my config so that 0.0.0.0/home directs me to backend 'ui', and 0.0.0.0/api directs me to backend 'api'.

Side question: for the api path how would my nodejs api paths work alongside these configurations I want?

I realize the commented line is a typo, however it was typed correctly when I was running it

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
