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

You can put all your routes inside a single folder called routes, then loop through all files in that folder, require them and init. That way for any new route, just create a file in routes folder and thats it.

So something like this:

index.js

const Koa = require("koa");
const logger = require("koa-logger");
const bodyParser = require("koa-bodyparser");

const app = new Koa();

app.use(logger());
app.use(bodyParser());

require("./routes")(app);

const server = app.listen(config.server.port);

module.exports = server;

/routes/index.js

const fs = require("fs");
const path = require("path");
const baseName = path.basename(module.filename);

const routes = fs
    .readdirSync(path.join(__dirname))
    .filter(
        file =>
            file.indexOf(".") !== 0 &&
            file !== baseName &&
            file.slice(-3) === ".js"
    )
    .map(file => require(path.join(__dirname, file)));

module.exports = function(app) {
    for (var router of routes) {
        app.use(router.routes());
    }
};

Then inside /routes folder you would have like

/routes/user.js

/routes/customer.js

which are all router exports such as

/routes/auth.js

const Router = require("koa-router");
const authControllers = require("../controllers/auth");

const {
    jwtAuth,
    login,
    register,
    forgotPassword,
    resetPassword,
    getAuthenticatedUser
} = authControllers;

const router = new Router({ prefix: "/auth" });

router.post("/register", register);
router.post("/login", login);
router.post("/forgot-password", forgotPassword);
router.post("/reset-password/:resetToken", resetPassword);
router.get("/profile", jwtAuth, getAuthenticatedUser);

module.exports = router;
