Creating the route file

Now let's create the route file.

 Inside the routes folder, create a new file called index.js and add the following code:

    // Import Express and Router 
      var express = require('express'); 
      var router = express.Router(); 
    // Get 
      router.get('/', function(req, res) { 
        res.render('index', { 
          title: 'Socket.io chat application', 
          lead: 'Insert your user name and start talk' 
        }); 
      }); 
      module.exports = router;

As we are building a simple chat application, we will have just one route.
