Routes

Let's talk about some routes! 💥

We're going to use koa-route, which is a dead simple router.

Installation & Usage

$ npm install --save koa-route

var router = require('koa-route');

app.use(router.get('/', function *(next){
    this.request; // this is koa request
    this.response; // this is koa response
}));

Koa's request and response objects are abstractions on top of node's vanilla request/reponse object, providing additional functionality that is useful for every day HTTP server development.

Challenge

Build a RESTful POST route for /users that accepts user registration data.
