Routes Overview 📋

Main Router and Versioning 🧠

Introduction 🧠

This documentation provides an overview of the routing setup for the application, covering the main router, version-specific routes, and resource-specific routes. Proper routing is essential for handling incoming requests and directing them to the appropriate controllers and middleware.

Files and Their Purpose

routes/index.js

This file sets up the main router for the application. It defines the root route and version-specific routes.

Example Usage 🚀

  • Root Route (/): Provides a basic JSON message indicating that the API route has been accessed.
  • Versioned Routes (/v1): Routes for version 1 of the API are included here. Future versions can be added by configuring additional routes as needed.

routes/v1/index.js

This file configures the routes for version 1 of the API. It includes the root route for version 1 and sub-routes for specific resources.

Example Usage 🚀

  • Version 1 Root Route (/v1): Returns a basic JSON message indicating that version 1 of the API route has been accessed.
  • Resource Route (/v1/example): This route handles operations related to the example resource and is defined in the exampleRouter.

routes/v1/exampleRouter.js

Defines routes for handling CRUD operations related to the example resource within version 1 of the API.

Example Usage 🚀

  • GET /example: Retrieve all example records.
  • GET /example/:id: Retrieve a specific example record by ID.
  • POST /example: Create a new example record.
  • PUT /example/:id: Update an existing example record by ID.
  • DELETE /example/:id: Delete an example record by ID.

Integration 🛠️

To integrate these routes into your Express application, ensure that:

  1. routes/index.js is mounted in the main application file to handle /api routes.
  2. routes/v1/index.js is included in the version 1 routing setup to handle /v1 routes.
  3. routes/v1/exampleRouter.js is used for the example resource routes within version 1.

Make sure to import and use the appropriate middleware and controllers in exampleRouter.js to handle route-specific logic.

Customization 🛠️

  • Expand Routes: Add or modify routes as necessary to cover additional resources or functionalities.
  • Integrate Middleware & Controllers: Import and integrate middleware and controller functions to handle route logic as needed.

Feel free to explore, adapt, and enhance the routing setup to match your application’s requirements! 🔍
