NodeJS REST API Application - Structure

[InfantJoseph S]

Am a newbie here. I want to develop a NodeJS application which serves only to expose REST APIs. My application have nothing to do with View. I used Express generator to generate a project and I removed the views folder. Also I changed the package.json 'start' from 'node bin/www' to 'node app.js'. But it didn't worked.

How can I structure my project so that it will initialise with routes and  my APIs will be exposed.

I got a suggestion to use 'Swagger', but I need to work with .yaml file and didn't want my team to do considering future dependencies. Thanks for the help in advance.

app.js

var express = require('express');

var bodyParser = require('body-parser');

var contoller = require('./domains/apply/controller');

var app = express();

app.use(bodyParser.json());

app.post('/email', (req, res) => {

  console.log(req.body.address);

  res.json({ ok: true });

});

app.listen(4443, () => console.log('Listening on http://localhost:4443/'));

controller.js

app.get('/employee', function(req, res){

  "use strict";

    console.log(" employee ---- "+req);

    res.json({ ok: true });

});
