express routes forward to next code example
Example 1: express mounting router
var express = require('express')
var router = express.Router()
router.use(function timeLog (req, res, next) {
console.log('Time: ', Date.now())
next()
})
router.get('/', function (req, res) {
res.send('Birds home page')
})
router.get('/about', function (req, res) {
res.send('About birds')
})
module.exports = router
Example 2: express() vs express.router()
var express = require('express'),
dogs = require('./routes/dogs'),
cats = require('./routes/cats'),
birds = require('./routes/birds');
var app = express();
app.use('/dogs', dogs);
app.use('/cats', cats);
app.use('/birds', birds);
app.listen(3000);
