auto-router

Simple express.js middleware that automatically loads all .js files in a directory recursively to the express router

Install

npm install @willebergh/auto-router

Usage:

autoRouter(routesDir|options)

• routesDir string: Path to the directory with all routes
• options object: An object with multiple options

Options:

const options = {
    routes: "./src/routes",             // Path to the directory with all routes
    logging: "silent" || "verbose",     // How much to log to the console
    baseRoute: "/api"                   // The base route of the autoRouter
}

Example:

Initalize the middleware with app.use() in the root of your app.

const express = require("express");
const autoRouter = require("@willebergh/auto-router");
const app = express();

// Without any options
app.use(autoRouter("./src/routes"));

// With options
app.use(autoRouter({
    routes: "./src/routes",             // Path to the directory with all routes
    logging: "silent" || "verbose",     // How much to log to the console
    baseRoute: "/api"                   // The base route of the autoRouter
}));

const port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
app.listen(port, () => console.log(`Server started on port ${port}`));

In your route files, just export the express router like normal. If the express router is not exported the route will fail to load.

const express = require("express");
const router = express.Router();

// Use the router...

module.exports = router;
