Example
The main app file loads any routes files in which you would like to define routes. To do so we need the following directory structure: app.js routes/index.js routes/users.js
app.js
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
app.use('/', require('./routes/index'));
app.use('/users', require('./routes/users'))
app.listen('3000');
routes/index.js
var router = require('express').Router();
router.get('/', function(req, res) {
res.send('Index Page');
});
router.get('/about', function(req, res) {
res.send('About Page');
});
module.exports = router;
routes/users.js
var router = require('express').Router();
router.get('/', function(req, res) {
res.send('Users Index Page');
});
router.get('/list', function(req, res) {
res.send('Users List Page');
});
module.exports = router;
Running $ node app.js there should now be pages at the following urls:
- localhost:3000/ - Displays "Index Page"
- localhost:3000/about - Displays "About Page"
- localhost:3000/users - Displays "Users Index Page"
- localhost:3000/users/list - Displays "Users List Page"
