Named routes in Django-style

suggest change

One big problem is that valuable named routes is not supported by Express out of the box. Solution is to install supported third-party package, for example express-reverse:

npm install express-reverse

Plug it in your project:

var app = require('express')();
require('express-reverse')(app);

Then use it like:

app.get('test', '/hello', function(req, res) {
  res.end('hello');
});

The downside of this approach is that you cant use route Express module as shown in Advanced router usage. The workaround is to pass your app as a parameter to you router factory:

require('./middlewares/routing')(app);

And use it like:

module.exports = (app) => {
    app.get('test', '/hello', function(req, res) {
      res.end('hello');
    });
};

You can figure it out from now on, how define functions to merge it with specified custom namespaces and point at appropriate controllers.
