How to store routes in separate files when using Hapi?

Question

All of the Hapi examples (and similar in Express) shows routes are defined in the starting file:

var Hapi = require(\'hapi\');

var server = new Hapi.Server();
s         


        

Answer 1

I know this is already approved. I put down my solution in case someone wants a quick fix and new to Hapi.

Also I included some NPM too so Newbees can see how to to use the server.register with multiple plugin in the case ( good + hapi-auto-route )

Installed some npm packages:

npm i -S hapi-auto-route

npm i -S good-console

npm i -S good


// server.js
'use strict';

const Hapi = require('hapi');
const Good = require('good');
const AutoRoute = require('hapi-auto-route');

const server = new Hapi.Server();

server.connection(
    {   
        routes: { cors: true }, 
        port: 3000, 
        host: 'localhost',
        labels: ['web']
    }
);

server.register([{
    register: Good,
    options: {
        reporters: {
            console: [{
                module: 'good-squeeze',
                name: 'Squeeze',
                args: [{
                    response: '*',
                    log: '*'
                }]
            }, {
                module: 'good-console'
            }, 'stdout']
        }
    }
}, {
    register: AutoRoute,
    options: {}
}], (err) => {

     if (err) {
        throw err; // something bad happened loading the plugin
    }

    server.start((err) => {

        if (err) {
            throw err;
        }
        server.log('info', 'Server running at: ' + server.info.uri);
    });
});

In your routes/user.js

module.exports = 
[   
     {  
        method: 'GET',
        path: '/',
        handler: (request, reply) => {
            reply('Hello, world!');
        } 
    },  
     {  
        method: 'GET',
        path: '/another',
        handler: (request, reply) => {
            reply('Hello, world again!');
        } 
    },
];

Now run: node server.js
