let app = express();

app.info('/list', {method: 'get'}); //add info for app path `/list` with method `get`
app.get('/list', (req, res)=>{});

let router = express.Router();
router.info('/set', {method: 'post'}) //add info for router path `/set` with method `post`
router.post('/set', (req, res)=>{})

app.use('/list', router);

app.get('/other1', (req, res)=>{});
app.use('/other2', (req, res)=>{});

app.info('/something', {method: 'get'}); //add info for app path `/something` with method `get`

console.log(app.getInfo());

This will add two methods for main app

Methods

This script add two methods which visible from the main app and from router app:

• info(path, infoObject) - Add info
• getInfo(onlyCurrent) - Obtain array of all methods

info method

• path - Same path as setted to method or full path(when path adden in the underlying router)
• infoObject - Object with information about path
  • method - parameter, to match methods with info, null for use
  • * - other parameters like title, desription avaliable

getInfo method

Obtain array of avaliable methods. Each element of array would be an object. Expamle:

[ { path: '/list',
    type: 'info',
    methodMatch: true,
    info: { method: 'get' } },
  { path: '/something',
    type: 'info',
    methodMatch: false,
    info: { method: 'get' } },
  { path: '/other1', type: 'method', info: { method: 'get' } },
  { path: '/other2', type: 'method' },
