Node.js Web Apps With Express Named routes in Django-style
Example
One big problem is that valuable named routes is not supported by Express out of the box. Solution is to install supported third-party package, for example express-reverse:
npm install express-reverse
Plug it in your project:
var app = require('express')();
require('express-reverse')(app);
Then use it like:
app.get('test', '/hello', function(req, res) {
res.end('hello');
});
The downside of this approach is that you cant use route Express module as shown in Advanced router usage. The workaround is to pass your app as a parameter to you router factory:
require('./middlewares/routing')(app);
And use it like:
module.exports = (app) => {
app.get('test', '/hello', function(req, res) {
res.end('hello');
});
};
You can figure it out from now on, how define functions to merge it with specified custom namespaces and point at appropriate controllers.
