app.post('/', () => new Response('POST /'))

// Wildcard
app.get('/wild/*/card', () => {
  return new Response('GET /wild/*/card')
})
```

`app.all`

```js
// Any HTTP methods
app.all('/hello', () => new Response('ALL Method /hello'))
```

### Named Parameter

```js
app.get('/user/:name', (c) => {
  const name = c.req.params('name')
  ...
})
```

### Regexp

```js
app.get('/post/:date{[0-9]+}/:title{[a-z]+}', (c) => {
  const date = c.req.params('date')
  const title = c.req.params('title')
  ...
```

### Chained Route

```js
app
  .route('/api/book')
    .get(() => {...})
    .post(() => {...})
    .put(() => {...})
```

  console.log(`[${c.req.method}] ${c.req.url}`)
  next()
}

const addHeader = (c, next) => {
  next()
  c.res.headers.add('x-message', 'This is middleware!')
}

app.use('*', logger)
app.use('/message/*', addHeader)

app.get('/message/hello', () => 'Hello Middleware!')
```

### Custom 404 Response

```js
const customNotFound = (c, next) => {
  next()
  if (c.res.status === 404) {
    c.res = new Response('Custom 404 Not Found', { status: 404 })
  }
}

app.use('*', customNotFound)
```

## Context

app.get('/hello', (c) => {
  const userAgent = c.req.headers.get('User-Agent')
  ...
})
```

### res
