Specifying Routes

Any files that match your routes glob will be loaded

Example route file:

module.exports = [
  {
    path: '/test1',
    method: 'GET',
    handler: function (request, reply) {
      reply('hello');
    }
  },
  {
    path: '/test2',
    method: 'GET',
    handler: function (request, reply) {
      reply('hello');
    }
  }
]

Glob Primer

Example globs:

'routes/*.js'    // match all js files in the routes directory
'routes/**/*.js' // recursively match all js files in the routes directory
'**/*Route.js'   // match all js files that end with 'Route'

From isaacs:

"Globs" are the patterns you type when you do stuff like ls *.js on the command line, or put build/* in a .gitignore file.

The following characters have special magic meaning when used in a path portion:

• * Matches 0 or more characters in a single path portion
• ? Matches 1 character
• [...] Matches a range of characters, similar to a RegExp range. If the first character of the range is ! or ^ then it matches any character not in the range.
• !(pattern|pattern|pattern) Matches anything that does not match any of the patterns provided.
• ?(pattern|pattern|pattern) Matches zero or one occurrence of the patterns provided.
• +(pattern|pattern|pattern) Matches one or more occurrences of the patterns provided.
• *(a|b|c) Matches zero or more occurrences of the patterns provided
• @(pattern|pat*|pat?erN) Matches exactly one of the patterns provided
• ** If a "globstar" is alone in a path portion, then it matches zero or more directories and subdirectories searching for matches. It does not crawl symlinked directories.
