Quick Start

var express = require("myexpress");
var app = express();

// handle GET method
app.get('/foo', function(req, res) {
  res.end('GET Foo');
});

// handle POST method
app.post('/foo', function(req, res) {
  res.end('POST Foo');
});

// middleware 1
app.use(function(req, res, next){
  // ......
  next();
});

// error handler
app.use(function(err, req, res, next) {
  // ......
  next(err);
});

// middleware 2, error skip this middlware
app.use(function(req, res, next) {
  // ......
  next();
});

// mount sub-app
var subapp = express();
app.use('/sub', subapp);

// extract paramters
app.use('/user/:id', function (req, res, next) {
  console.log('ID:', req.params.id);
  next();
});

// redirect
app.use("/foo", function(req, res) {
  res.redirect("/bar");
});

app.listen(4000);
