[MEAN Stack] First API -- 7. Using Route Files to Structure Server Side API

时间:2022-03-28 19:05:06

Currently, the server.js is going way too long. In the real world application, it is likely that we are going to deal with more routers, whichi means it growing even longer.

A single file which has too many lines of code whcih means code small.

We are going to extract routes to modules.

firstMean/routes/people.js:

/**
* Created by Answer1215 on 1/2/2015.
*/
var express = require('express');
var people = require('../controller/people');
//return router instance which can be mounted as a middleware
var router = express.Router(); router.route('/')
.get(people.getAll);
router.route('/:id')
.get(people.get); //exports the router as a Node module
module.exports = router;

Server.js:

'use strict';

var express = require('express');
var cors = require("cors");
var app = express();
app.use(cors()); var people = require('./routes/people');
//use router as a middleware
app.use('/people', people); app.listen(3000);
