Closes #1

[toboid]

according to the overview submissions should be using the hapi style guide, which specifies 4 spaces for rather than tabs for indents

[AdriVanHoudt]

Thanks for the head up, I'll have to change IDE settings for that, no problem
And I didn't know that guide existed O_o

[toboid]

no probs 😄

Nice touch! If you have config, it's cleaner to put handler inside.

[AdriVanHoudt]

What do you mean by config? And yes once the routes get more complex the handlers will be moved out of the config.

I believe he means that it makes sense to do

server.route({
    method: 'GET',
    path: '/version',
    config: {
        description: 'Returns the version of the server',
        handler: function (request, reply) {
            return reply({ version: internals.pkg.version });
        }
    }
});

I typically move my handlers to a file ./handlers.js, so it looks like this in my index.js

server.route({
    method: 'GET',
    path: '/version',
    config: handlers.version
});

[AdriVanHoudt]

Ah I see, yes I also move them to a separate place. Thanks for clearing that up!

[AdriVanHoudt]

@hueniverse is that a general rule? To put handler in config if it is present? It will probably be cleaner once the handler is in a separate place

[hueniverse]

That's what I like to do. More readable.

[AdriVanHoudt]

👍

[hueniverse]

No reason to export anything here.

[AdriVanHoudt]

just require('./lib/index.js'); then? Or even require('./lib') although i'm not familiar with what it will do then

[AdriVanHoudt]

Ok found it in the docs will patch

[AdriVanHoudt]

@hueniverse awesome thanks! If you want them squashed next time let me know :p
