        username: Joi.string().required(),
      }),
    }),
    async (ctx) => {
      ctx.body = ctx.request.query;
    },
  ]),
);

        username: Joi.string().required(),
      }),
    }),
  ),
);

  validator({
    params: Joi.object().keys({
      username: Joi.string().required(),
    }),
  }),
  async (ctx) => {
    ctx.body = ctx.params;
  },
);

const app = new Koa();
app.use(router.middleware());
