Basic routing

​​​​​​

app.METHOD(PATH, HANDLER)

Where:

• app is an instance of express.
• METHOD is an HTTP request method, in lowercase.
• PATH is a path on the server.
• HANDLER is the function executed when the route is matched.

The following examples illustrate defining simple routes.

Respond with Hello World! on the homepage:

app.get('/', function (req, res) {
  res.send('Hello World!')
})

Respond to POST request on the root route (/), the application’s home page:

app.post('/', function (req, res) {
  res.send('Got a POST request')
})

Respond to a PUT request to the /user route:

app.put('/user', function (req, res) {
  res.send('Got a PUT request at /user')
})

Respond to a DELETE request to the /user route:

app.delete('/user', function (req, res) {
  res.send('Got a DELETE request at /user')
})
