api/
├── profile/
│   └── orders.[post].ts - methods in any filenames
├── catalog/
│   └── [[...tags]].ts - several segments
├── collection/
│   └── [cid]/ - slugs in folders
│       └── products/
│           └── [pid].ts - slugs in files
├── index.ts - root
└── _404.ts - not found response    

• [POST]: /profile/orders → /api/profile/orders.[post].ts
• /catalog/men/black/denim → /api/catalog/[[...tags]].ts

export default {
  get(req, res, routeParams) {},
  post(req, res, routeParams) {},
  patch(req, res, routeParams) {},
}

Single response function:

export default function (req, res, routeParams) {}
