The first word of a route is the HTTP method: GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE. The same URL can have a different handler for each method, and $.method tells a shared handler which one was used.

controllers/items.js

exports.install = function() {
	ROUTE('GET /items/', list);
	ROUTE('POST /items/', create);
	ROUTE('PUT /items/', replace);
	ROUTE('PATCH /items/', change);
	ROUTE('DELETE /items/', remove);
};

function list($) {
	$.json({ action: 'list', method: $.method });
}

function create($) {
	$.json({ action: 'create', method: $.method });
}

function replace($) {
	$.json({ action: 'replace', method: $.method });
}

function change($) {
	$.json({ action: 'change', method: $.method });
