It appears there might be a misunderstanding regarding the `route add` command within the Hapi CLI. The Hapi CLI (often used as `hapi` or through `npx hapi`) is primarily a scaffolding tool designed to help developers set up new Hapi projects, plugins, handlers, and views. It does not provide a direct `route add` command to dynamically add routes to an *existing* Hapi application from the command line.
Hapi.js routes are defined programmatically within your application's JavaScript code. You declare routes by calling `server.route()` or through a plugin's `routes()` method.
For example, to add a route in a Hapi application, you would typically write JavaScript code like this:
const Hapi = require('@hapi/hapi');
const init = async () => {
const server = Hapi.server({
port: 3000,
host: 'localhost'
});
server.route({
method: 'GET',
path: '/hello',
handler: (request, h) => {
return 'Hello, World!';
}
});
await server.start();
console.log('Server running on %s', server.info.uri);
};
process.on('unhandledRejection', (err) => {
console.log(err);
process.exit(1);
});
init();**Hapi CLI's Actual Capabilities (Examples):**
The Hapi CLI's commands are focused on generating boilerplate code:
* **`npx hapi new my-project`**: Creates a new Hapi project structure.
* **`npx hapi plugin my-plugin`**: Generates a new Hapi plugin structure within an existing project.
* **`npx hapi handler my-handler`**: Creates a new handler file.
**Conclusion:**
If you were looking for a way to define routes using the Hapi CLI, it's important to note that route definition remains a programmatic task within your Hapi.js application's source code, not a command-line operation provided by the Hapi CLI itself. The CLI assists in setting up the project architecture where you would then write your route definitions.
