# Routes and controllers
|
|
## MVC model
|
|
- design pattern
|
|
- used in ios development
|
|
|
|
routes - foward requests to appropriate controller functions
|
|
controller functions - get data from models, create html, display data, and return to view
|
|
views (templates) - used by controllers to render data
|
|
|
|
## Routes
|
|
- a section of express code that assocaites an HTTP verb, and url path, and a function to handle that pattern
|
|
- route is a middleware created by `var router = express.Router();`
|
|
|
|
### route path
|
|
- define endpoints at which requests can be made
|
|
- can be string patterns similar to regex
|
|
|
|
## route parameters
|
|
- named url segments used to capture values at specific positions in the url
|
|
- e.g., `/:user/`
|
|
- captures values are stored in `req.params` object
|
|
- names must be made up of "word characters"
|
|
|
|
## route functions
|
|
- express middleware — must respond to or call another function in the chain
|
|
- each functionis added to the middleware chain and is executed in order
|
|
|
|
## middleware
|
|
- objects that have access to req, res, and the next middleware function in the req-res cycle
|
|
- e.g.,
|
|
```
|
|
app.use()
|
|
app.METHOD()
|
|
router.use()
|
|
express.static
|
|
express.json
|
|
express.urlencoded
|
|
app.use(cookieParser())
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- middleware can
|
|
- execute code
|
|
- change the req and response objects
|
|
- end the req-res cycle
|
|
- call next middleware function in stack
|
