I do this:
path/app.js
path/routes/foo.js
path/routes/bar.js
In app.js:
var express = require('express');
var fs = require('fs');
var app = module.exports = express();
// configure app here...
// load routes
fs.readdir(__dirname + '/routes', function (err, files) {
files.forEach(function (fn) {
if(!/\.js$/.test(fn)) return;
require(__dirname + '/routes/' + fn);
});
});
app.listen(PORT);
In routes/*.js:
var app = require('../app');
app.get('/some_route', function (req, res) { ... });
