const client = forge({
  resources: {
    User: {
      all: { path: '/users' },

      // {id} is a dynamic segment and will be replaced by the parameter "id"
      // when called
      byId: { path: '/users/{id}' },

      // {group} is also a dynamic segment but it has default value "general"
      byGroup: { path: '/users/groups/{group}', params: { group: 'general' } },

      // {market?} is an optional dynamic segment. If called without a value
      // for the "market" parameter, {market?} will be removed from the path
      // including any prefixing "/".
      // This example: '/{market?}/users' => '/users'
      count: { path: '/{market?}/users' } }
    },
    Blog: {
      // The HTTP method can be configured through the `method` key, and a default
      // header "X-Special-Header" has been configured for this resource
      create: { method: 'post', path: '/blogs', headers: { 'X-Special-Header': 'value' } },

      // There are no restrictions for dynamic segments and HTTP methods
      addComment: { method: 'put', path: '/blogs/{id}/comment' },

      // `queryParamAlias` will map parameter names to their alias when
      // constructing the query string
      bySubject: { path: '/blogs', queryParamAlias: { subjectId: 'subject_id' } },

      // `path` is a function to map passed params to a custom path
      byDate: { path: ({date}) => `${date.getYear()}/${date.getMonth()}/${date.getDate()}` }
    }
  }
})

copy/paste from express routes definitions can simplify forge configuration greatly

Hi, what is the requirement I mean is there any modification or feature addition in the above you mentioned?

[Nandini1071]

could you elaborate the requirement with proper file path.

[Nandini1071]

Please let me know the complete requirement on this, would like to contribute on that.

[Nandini1071]

Hi, could you provide requirement for this issue ?

[Nandini1071]

Hi @OleksandrKucherenko, could you explain the issue, what is required in detail.

[OleksandrKucherenko]

Its not an issue, its the enhancment.

Most of the BE are done in expressjs, so when i need to create a client i should do a lot of copy/paste modifications.

Support of the expressjs route pathes by default will reduce the adoptation time.

[Nandini1071]

so is there any thing on which I can contribute ?
@OleksandrKucherenko,
