[v5] Import files routes into routes/index and create a global group

[jairochaves2]

I would like to create a group with a prefix that encompasses all routes/groups, but I'm putting each route into a different file, and importing it into a route/index.ts.

// project route file
const group = Route.group(() => {
  Route.resource('projects', 'Project/MainController').apiOnly()
  Route.get('project/medias', 'Project/Medias.index')
}).prefix('p')

//index route
Route.group(()=>{
    import('./project.ts')
}).prefix('api/v1')

I would like the generated route to be something like:

/api/v1/p/projects

You can define your Route and export as function like these:

// Using resource:
import Route from '@ioc:Adonis/Core/Route'

export default function userRoutes() {
  Route.resource('users', 'UsersController').apiOnly()
}

// Using methods:
import Route from '@ioc:Adonis/Core/Route'

export default function authenticationRoutes() {
  Route.post('login', 'LoginController.store')
  Route.post('logout', 'LogoutController.store').middleware('auth')
}

// Using group: 
import Route from '@ioc:Adonis/Core/Route'

export default function companyRoutes() {
  Route.group(() => {
    Route.get('companies/user', 'Companies/SearchController.index')
    Route.resource('companies', 'Companies/CompaniesController').apiOnly().middleware({'*': 'bouncer: adm'})
  }).middleware(['auth'])
}

All the middlewares still working as they should

Then you just need to import the functions in the /routes/index.ts file:

import Route from '@ioc:Adonis/Core/Route'
import Env from '@ioc:Adonis/Core/Env'

import authenticationRoutes from './authentication'
import companyRoutes from './company'
import userRoutes from './user'

Route.group(() => {
  companyRoutes()
  userRoutes()
  authenticationRoutes()
}).prefix('your/prefix/here')

Hello,
Since I don't want to lengthen my router.ts with all the route definitions for all my entities, I'm using the concept described above to split them up into entity-specific route files.
I don't know if this is a good idea (I hope it is ;) ). My dev colleague (who uses express) strongly recommended it...
In my case, it's an adaptation that works in adonisjs 6...
