16 What is the SFRA 'server' module and what methods does it expose?
Suggested answer
The server module is the central SFRA framework object imported at the top of every controller file:
var server = require('server');
It exposes the following key methods:
1. Route registration — server.get(name, ...middleware), server.post(name, ...middleware), server.use(name, ...middleware) for any HTTP method
2. Route inheritance — server.extend(require('controllers/TargetController')) imports all routes from another controller into the current one, enabling extension
3. Route modification — server.append(name, ...middleware), server.prepend(name, ...middleware), server.replace(name, ...middleware) modify inherited routes
4. Exports — module.exports = server.exports() at the end of every controller file exposes registered routes to the B2C Commerce router
Each middleware function in a route receives (req, res, next) — call next() to advance, next(true) to stop the chain and render the current response.
