Hungry For More

The topic is yours. Try to do it all from memory (in a new directory - you wont have to turn this part in!)

  1. Create a basic app with multiple routes

  2. When it comes time to do res.send, instead of just text, send html

  3. To get res.send to work with line breaks in the html, change single/double quotes to backticks

     res.send(`
     <html>
         <body>
             <h1>Oh ha!</h1>
         </body>
     </html>
 `);
