// From Oak
const app: Application = new Application();

Register function consumed by Application, takes controller class definition and strips it's metadata. From this metadata, the register function appropriately configures super() oak router. An instance of the provided controller class definition is created, and the controller's actions are mapped to routes, E.g.

import { DinosaurController } from "./example/DinosaurController.ts";

const router: Router = new Router();
router.register(DinosaurController);
// router superclass now configured to use DinosaurController's actions
