express-config-routes

express-config-routes is library for dynamic nested routes in express

Installation

npm install express-config-routes

or with yarn

yarn add express-config-routes

Usage

Example:

import configRoutes from 'express-config-routes'
import express from 'express'

const app = express()

const options = {
  routeDir: '/routes', // DEFAULT '/routes' NOT REQUIRED
  absolutePath: 'YOUR ABSOLUTE PATH', // NOT REQUIRED
}

app.use(configRoutes(options))

When you use both of routeDir and absolutePath, absolutePath overrides routeDir

This file tree:

routes/
--| users/
-----| post.js
-----| middleware.js
-----| _id/
-------| get.js
--| books/
-----| _bookId/
--------| authors/
-----------| _authorId/
-------------| get.js
--| get.js

generate express Route path:

/users/
/users/:id
/books/:bookId/authors/:authorId
/

each js file's form

export default (req, res) => {
  res.send('ok')
}

or

export default (req, res) => {
  res.send('ok')
}

Use middlewares:

Using under method

// get.js
export default (req, res) => {
  console.log(req.params.id)
  res.send('req.params.id is ' + req.params.id)
}

const middle = (req, res, next) => {
  console.log(req.method)
  next()
}

const middle2 = (req, res, next) => {
  console.log('bar')
  next()
}

export const middleware = [middle, middle2]

Using under any file

// middleware.js
const middleware01 = (req, res, next) {
  cosole.log('middleware01')
  next()
}
const middleware02 = (req, res, next) {
  cosole.log('middleware02')
  next()
}
export default [middleware01, middleware02]

If use middleware overall, should set it the execution file
