app.js receives all routes from routes/index.js & prepends the URL path to whatever we specify
app.js catches all errors thrown in controllers and sends back 404 errors
Associated Product Ticket
Process
Without this, routes will/may not run properly since app.js is, you know, the app
Without error handling, we will be terrible programmers. Here's a non-exhaustive list of errors to handle:
404: request made does not exist
500: the app/database broke
All controllers should call next(err) when an Error is thrown
Expected Result
Starting up the app (node app.js) & navigating to a completed MVC route in the browser, should return the requested data. Navigating to an incomplete MVC route or nonexistent route should return the appropriate error.
