Create Another Controller and Router

Lecture 287:- Create Another Controller and Router

To create another controller and router in Express, you can follow these steps:

1. In the controllers folder, create a new file named usersController.js.
2. In usersController.js, define a new controller function that will handle requests for user-related routes. For example, you could create a function named listUsers that retrieves a list of users from the database and renders it to a view.
3. Export the controller function from usersController.js so that it can be used in other parts of your application.
4. In the routes folder, create a new file named users.js.
5. In users.js, require the express module and create a new router object.
6. Require the usersController module and assign it to a variable.
7. Define a route for the listUsers controller function by calling the get method on the router object and passing in the route path and controller function as arguments. For example: router.get('/users', usersController.listUsers).
8. Export the router object from users.js so that it can be used in other parts of your application.
9. In app.js, require the users module and use the router by calling the use method on your app object and passing in the route path and router object as arguments. For example: app.use('/api', usersRouter).

By following these steps, you can create a new controller and router in Express and use it to handle requests for a new set of routes.
