Express-dir-routing NPM

express-dir-routing

A file-based routing system for express.js using directories like NextJS 13 or SvelteKit!

Installation

npm install express-dir-routing

Usage

routes
├── get.js
├── users
│   ├── get.js
│   ├── post.js
│   └── $username
│       └── get.js
└── products
    └── get.js
    └── post.js
    └── put.js
    └── delete.js
        └── $id
            └── get.js

also you can rename get.js files with get.user.js or get.products.js:

routes
├── get.js
├── users
│   ├── get.users.js
│   └── $username
│       └── get.users-username.js
└── products
    └── get.products.js
    └── $id
        └── get.products-id.js

// app.js
const express = require('express')
const path = require('path')
const { dirRouter } = require('express-dir-routing');

const app = express();

app.use('/', dirRouter(path.join(__dirname, 'routes')));

// routes -> users -> get.users.js
function controller(req, res){
    res.send('GET user');
}

module.exports = controller

and you can get URL params naming a directory with $ like "$username"

// routes -> users -> $username -> get.users-username.js
function controller(req, res){
    const {username} = req.params;

    res.send(`GET user ${username}`);
}

module.exports = controller
