A Web Application with Node and Express
We’ll be using the Express.js framework, a minimalist web framework for Node.js meaning that it does not ship with a lot of feature,but is highly configurable.We’ll using Express.js as the foundation of our API server, but Express can also be used to build fully featured server side web application.
npm install expression
Create a file named index.js and add the following
const express = require('express')
const app = express()
const port = 4000
app.get('/', (req, res) => res.send('Hello from API'))
app.listen(port, () => console.log(`Server listening on http://localhost:{port}`))
