To invoke a controller method from a Koa router, you first need to import the controller into your router file. You can then define a route handler that calls the controller method.


Here's an example of how you can invoke a controller method from a Koa router:

  1. First, import your controller into your Koa router file:
1
const myController = require('./controllers/myController');


  1. Define a route handler in your Koa router that calls the controller method:

const Router = require('koa-router');
const router = new Router();

router.get('/my-route', async (ctx) => {
  try {
    const result = await myController.myMethod();
    ctx.body = result;
  } catch (error) {
    ctx.status = 500;
    ctx.body = { error: 'An error occurred' };
  }
});

module.exports = router;


In this example, we have defined a route handler for a GET request to '/my-route'. Inside the route handler, we are calling the myMethod method from the myController. The result of the method call is sent back as the response body.


Remember to ensure that your controller method is properly exported and defined in your controller file.
