How Would I Break Out the Controllers into Individual Files?

[pnewhook]

It's been touched on in other threads, but I can't find a solid answer
or an example. How would I break out controllers into separate files?
App.js would get pretty unruly without that.

Hi pnewhook,

I'm not the expert but there is a blog example on express repo. On app.js file there is a comment how to separate your app into several files.

Probably you refer the root application instance by simply typing

var app = module.parent.exports;


best regards.

Yup thats right. since we export our parent app, when require()ing another file

you can refer to the parent module as module.parent.exports;
