We covered a lot in this chapter, from routing to controllers to models. Keep in mind that not every application follows this paradigm, but it's a good baseline with which to start your approach of backend services as they relate to the frontend.
We should remember that using express-generator can help scaffold out applications, using npm or npx. Routes and views are our front line of the application, dictating where code is routed and what is viewed by the end client (whether it's JSON or HTML). We worked with APIs to explore the inherently asynchronous behavior of APIs, and also created our own API!
In the next chapter, we will discuss what makes Express a different type of framework than Django or Flask. We'll also examine how to join our frontend and backend frameworks.
