How to store routes in separate files when using Hapi?

Question

All of the Hapi examples (and similar in Express) shows routes are defined in the starting file:

var Hapi = require(\'hapi\');

var server = new Hapi.Server();
s         


        

Answer 1

or you can use a index file to load all the routes in the directory

index.js

/**
 * Module dependencies.
 */
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
const basename  = path.basename(__filename);

const routes = fs.readdirSync(__dirname)
.filter((file) => {
    return (file.indexOf('.') !== 0) && (file !== basename);
})
.map((file) => {
    return require(path.join(__dirname, file));
});

module.exports = routes;

other files in the same directory like:

module.exports =  [
    {
        method: 'POST',
        path:  '/api/user',
        config: {

        }
    },
    {
        method: 'PUT',
        path:  'api/user/{userId}',
        config: {

        }
    }
];

and than in your root/index

const Routes = require('./src/routes');
/**
* Add all the routes
*/
for (var route in Routes) {
    server.route(Routes[route]);
}
