How can I split my koa routes into separate files?

Question

I\'m trying to figure out how to split my routes into separate files.

I have this so far, but it doesn\'t work. I just get Not found when I try to access

For Koa 2.x I find nested routes with prefixes to deliver the goods, with no additional packages.

Assuming /api/dogs and /api/cats are the required outcomes.

Like so:

app.js

import Koa from 'koa';
import Router from 'koa-router';
import apiRouter from './routes/apiRouter';

const app = new Koa();

app.use(apiRouter.routes(), apiRouter.allowedMethods());

app.listen(3000);

export default app;

routes/apiRouter.js

import Router from 'koa-router'

import dogsRouter from './dogsRouter'
import catsRouter from './catsRouter'

const apiRouter = new Router({ prefix: '/api' })

const nestedRoutes = [dogsRouter, catsRouter]
for (var router of nestedRoutes) {
    apiRouter.use(router.routes(), router.allowedMethods())
}

export default apiRouter;

routes/dogsRouter.js

import Router from 'koa-router'

const dogsRouter = new Router({ prefix: '/dogs' });

dogsRouter.get('/', async (ctx, next) => {
  ctx.body = 'Dogs be here'
});

export default dogsRouter;

routes/catsRouter.js

import Router from 'koa-router'

const catsRouter = new Router({ prefix: '/cats' });

catsRouter.get('/', async (ctx, next) => {
  ctx.body = 'Cats be here'
});

export default catsRouter;
