Method chaining for clarity

Design API methods that favor chaining over multiple parameters to improve readability and maintainability. When implementing methods that require both a resource and configuration options (like status codes), prefer method chaining patterns that clearly separate concerns and make the purpose of each parameter explicit.

Example - Avoid:

// Unclear parameter order and purpose
res.json(obj, status);
res.send(body, status);

Example - Prefer:

// Clear separation of concerns through method chaining
res.status(status).json(obj);
res.status(status).send(body);

This pattern improves API usability by making method calls self-documenting, reducing the need to remember parameter order, and creating more intuitive interfaces for developers. It also allows for more flexible extension of the API in the future without breaking changes to parameter signatures.
