Express Dynamic Router Creator

With this module you will be able to write dynamic created routing with express.

Features

  • Change the folders required for the dynamic router.
    • Routers Folder
    • Middlewares Folder
    • Controllers Folder
  • Define the main route file in the defined route folder.

Configuration

'use strict';

const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const path = require('path');

const DynamicRouter = require('express-dynamic-router-creator');

new DynamicRouter({
  app,
  folders: {
    routers: path.join(__dirname, 'routers'),
    controllers: path.join(__dirname, 'controllers'),
    middlewares: path.join(__dirname, 'middlewares'),
  },
  routerFiles: ['api/main', 'client'],
}).run();

const port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
app.listen(port, () => {
  console.log(`Server is running on http://localhost:${port}`);
});

Info: The files or files you define in mainFile work independently of each other. For example, if you have a router for the front of a route file, then the other file contains the necessary routing for the background. When defining a file, you need to enter the file name into. If you want to define more than one file, you must define your files in an array.
