Overseas

express-dynamic-router provide you the auto routing system for express.

You don't need to write routing codes written in express docs

app.get("hellow/world", hellow.world);
app.post("hellow/world", hellow.world);
app.put("hellow/world", hellow.world);
app.delete("hellow/world", hellow.world);

You only have to write easy code like bellow

require('express-dynamic-router')
.index(require('routes/index').index)
.register(app);

Instalation

npm install express-dynamic-router

Usage

express/app.js

app.configure('development', function(){
  app.use(express.errorHandler());
});

//use express-dynamic-router
require('express-dynamic-router')
.index(require('routes/index').index) // Set action for index
.register(app);

http.createServer(app).listen(app.get('port'), function(){
  console.log("Express server listening on port " + app.get('port'));
});

If you change routes dir, You only have to add setRoutesDir(path-your-route-dir) on method chain

require('express-dynamic-router')
.index(require('routes/index').index)
.setRoutesDir("path-to-your-routes")
.register(app);
