Node Cookbook - Third Edition

How to do it...

We'll start by creating a few files:

$ touch index.js
$ mkdir routes public
$ touch routes/index.js
$ touch public/styles.css

Now let's kick off the index.js file by loading necessary dependencies:

const Koa = require('koa') 
const serve = require('koa-static') 
const router = require('koa-router')() 
const {join} = require('path') 
const index = require('./routes/index') 

Next we'll create a Koa app and assign dev and port configuration references:

const app = new Koa() 
const dev = process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' 
const port = process.env.PORT || 3000 

Next we'll register relevant middleware and routes:

if (dev) { app.use(serve(join(__dirname, 'public'))) } router.use('/', index.routes(), index) app.use(router.routes()) ...
