Example

var http = require('http')
var can = require('can-route')()

// Home
can.get(/^\/$/,
  function(req, res) {
    res.end('Welcome to the homepage\n')
  }
)

// Item
can.patch(/^\/(:<id>[a-f0-9]{16})\/?$/i,
  function(req, res, params) {
    res.end(params.id + '\n')
  }
)

// Server
http.createServer(function(req, res) {
  if (!can.route(req, res)) {
    res.statusCode = 404
    res.end()
  }
}).listen(8080)
