Question: Why is the routes file in a routes folder and labeled 'index.js'?

I would have thought that the routing file would be labeled 'routes.js' or something similar.

So I guess I'm wondering if this folder structure is to encourage splitting up routing into multiple files, and if so, is there any documentation on how to go about doing so, and when it would be appropriate?

Thank you in advance for your assistance and clarification :-)

Folders as Modules is rather convenience. If the main routes name was set by routes.js, you should import routes every time like this

import route from ./router/routes.js

But, after scaffolding, how to organize the directory structure and named a filename is depends on your opinion.
