Routing
The routes are created automatically by file name
Example:

app/hello.sh file, the route is /hello
- For the app/foo/bar.sh file, the route is /foo/bar
- For the app/index.sh file, the route is /
- For the app/foo/index.sh file, the route is /foo> If you create a
app/src directory, it will be ignored$3
Dynamic routes are created adding underscore in file name or directory
Example:
- For the
app/users/_id.sh file, the route is /users/
- For the app/_foo/bar.sh file, the route is /Get request values
You can access the request values through the REQUEST environment variable in JSON format
The REQUEST environment variable looks like
`json
{
"body": {},
"params": {},
"query": {},
"headers": {},
"files": {}
}
