description: The HTTP methods Nooh supports and how to express them in file names.
---

Nooh supports all major HTTP methods. The method is the part of the filename that comes after the last dot before `.ts`.

## Supported methods

<Columns cols={2}>
  <Column>

| Suffix | HTTP Method |
|--------|-------------|
| `.get.ts` | `GET` |
| `.post.ts` | `POST` |
| `.put.ts` | `PUT` |
| `.patch.ts` | `PATCH` |

  </Column>
  <Column>

| Suffix | HTTP Method |
|--------|-------------|
| `.delete.ts` | `DELETE` |
| `.options.ts` | `OPTIONS` |
| `.head.ts` | `HEAD` |
| `.all.ts` | All methods |

  </Column>
</Columns>

## One file, one method

Each file defines exactly one method on its path. Multiple methods on the same URL are separate files:

<FileTree>

- routes/
  - users/
    - [id].get.ts
    - [id].patch.ts
    - [id].delete.ts

</FileTree>

This produces:
- `GET /users/:id`
- `PATCH /users/:id`
- `DELETE /users/:id`

Each file has its own handler, its own middleware, its own deps, and its own generated factory. There is no sharing between them unless you import a shared module explicitly.

## The `all` method

`.all.ts` matches every HTTP method that no other file handles for that path. Use it for catch-all handlers, CORS preflight responses, or fallback logic:

```ts
// src/routes/api/[...].all.ts
import { all } from "@router/api/[...]";

export default all((c) =>
  c.json({ error: "Not found" }, 404)
);
```

In Hono, `app.all()` is the underlying call, so the same Hono behavior applies.

## Generated factory names

The generated factory function name matches the method. For `DELETE`, Hono uses `del` internally (because `delete` is a reserved word in JavaScript), and Nooh follows the same convention:

| Method | Factory |
|--------|---------|
| `get` | `get` |
| `post` | `post` |
| `put` | `put` |
| `patch` | `patch` |
| `delete` | `del` |
| `options` | `options` |
| `head` | `head` |
| `all` | `all` |

```ts
// src/routes/users/[id].delete.ts
import { del } from "@router/users/[id]";

export default del((c) => {
  const id = c.req.param("id");
  return c.json({ deleted: id });
});
```
