Express Routing and Param Middleware

• Previous labs used one file to contain all of our server functionality.
  • Small amount of modularization with the routes, but now we want to define all of our touring in a separate file.
  • Welcome to the express.Router()!!!
  • If we are working on a project with a lot of functionality, it helps to have the routing logic in its own file.

New Middleware

• Cors

  • Cross origin resource sharing.
  • If you are at www.myawesomesite.com --> make a request --> api.superradservice.come = difference origins.
  • Cors lets us grab resources that are hosted at different origins.

• Morgan

  • This is used as a logger, it will log any requests.
