express.Router() vs. app.get

Question

I am using Express 4 server for Node.js

There is a router baked into Express like so:

in app.js

    var router =         


        

Answer 1

I actually think that this is in fact the preferred way. You define your routes separately and simply use it in your app. It provides a nice separation of concerns. It also makes testing your routes quite easy. And yes, you can create a solid RESTful backend using express.Router. Also, it has all the basic HTTP verbs like get, post, put, delete, patch etc. attached to it.
