routes.json

Enter custom routes here and route them to a specific routes file in your application directory.

To specify a route, each line should be key value where the key is the combined string of the request method and the request URI and the value is the path of your routes file relative to your application routes directory.

Sample routes.json

	"GET /" : "index",
	"GET /news" : "news/archive",
	"GET /news/:postid/" : "news/single",
	"POST /news/:postid/" : "news/post",
	"DELETE /news/:postid/" : "news/delete"
}

GET	/	/app/routes/index.js
GET	/news	/app/routes/news/archive.js
GET	/news/:postid/	/app/routes/news/single
POST	/news/:postid/	/app/routes/news/post.js
DELETE	/news/:postid/	/app/routes/news/delete.js

You should place all files into the assets directory when compiling your public folder.
