const express = require("express");

const customRoute = require("./config/routes");
const exrouteObject = require("express-routes-as-object");
const app = express();

app.use("/", (req, res) => {
  exrouteObject(req, res, customRoute);
});

const server = app.listen(4000, () =>
  console.log(`
🚀⭐️ Server ready at: http://localhost:4000`)
);

Custom routes

note

Every route configuration consists of an address and a target, for example:

'GET /foo/bar': {action: "/controllers/foo/bar"}
^^^address^^^   ^^^^^^^^^^^^target^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

// routes.js

module.exports = {
  routes: {
    "POST /account/create": {
      middleware: [firstMiddleware, secondeMiddleware],
      action: "/controllers/user/create",
    },
    "GET /account/find": {
      middleware: [checkResponse, greatePost],
      action: "/controllers/user/find-one",
    },
  },
};

function firstMiddleware(req, res, next) {
  console.log("this is the first middleware function");
  next();
}

function secondeMiddleware(req, res, next) {
  console.log("after the first middleware come the second middleware");
  next();
}

// /controllers/user/find-one.js

Credits

express-routes-as-object is heavily inspired by the Routes provided in sailsjs.com. Ultimately express-routes-as-object is an effort to provide same routing method in sailsjs to expressjs
