Use app.route() to build a larger application without creating "Ruby on Rails-like Controllers".
If your application has /authors and /books endpoints and you wish to separate files from index.ts, create authors.ts and books.ts.
// authors.ts
import { Hono } from 'hono'
const app = new Hono()
app.get('/', (c) => c.json('list authors'))
app.post('/', (c) => c.json('create an author', 201))
app.get('/:id', (c) => c.json(`get ${c.req.param('id')}`))
export default app// books.ts
import { Hono } from 'hono'
const app = new Hono()
