Refactoring routes

We previously created the teams-api.js file in the routes folder. Open that file and apply the following changes:

const express = require('express')const api = new express.Router()let teams = [    { id: 1, name: "Peru"},    { id: 2, name: "Russia"}]

First, we import the express module. From this module, we are declaring the api variable, which is an instance of express.Router. A teams variable has been created in order to host some fake data for the teams. We will use this router to configure our CRUD/HTTP handlers, as follows:

api  .route('/teams')  .get((req, res) => {    res.json(teams)  })  .post((req, res) => {      })app.listen(3000, () => {...

Using the api route variable, we define the '/teams' path as root for the HTTP handlers. ...
