I want to build out an API using restify.    I'd like to lay out the
project logically so it doesn't become a mess as it grows, but I also
don't want to get precious about it.  I'm looking for advice.

I was thinking that in the main module ("api.js" ) I would put all the
routes for every resource; and for the callbacks in each route I would
put the name of a handler that I export from a module that corresponds
to the resource, e.g., given a resource "dogs":

api.js:
--------

   var apiDogs = require( './lib/dogs.js');
   server.get('/dogs', apiDogs.dogHandler );

dogs.js
----------

   exports.dogHandler = function(req, res, next ) {
      // do lots of stuff here
      return next();
   });


Is this the right pattern?  Is there a better one?   Should I just put
everything into api.js and calm down?
