nodejs express endpoint code example

Example 1: express router file

var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();

// middleware that is specific to this router
router.use(function timeLog (req, res, next) {
  console.log('Time: ', Date.now());
  next();
});
// define the home page route
router.get('/', function (req, res) {
  res.send('Birds home page');
});
// define the about route
router.get('/about', function (req, res) {
  res.send('About birds');
});

module.exports = router;

Example 2: using multiple http verbs on express path request

app.route('/book')
  .get(function (req, res) {
    res.send('Get a random book')
  })
  .post(function (req, res) {
    res.send('Add a book')
  })
  .put(function (req, res) {
    res.send('Update the book')
  })
