Your First Express App Lab
Objectives
- Build an Express route responding to a
GET
request. - Send an HTTP response with the text
Hello, World!
Instructions
You are going to be building a single route in an express app setup in app.js
. The goal is to response to a GET
request at /
(the root or homepage of the application) and response with Hello, World!
.
File: app.js
const express = require('express')
const app = express()
// Build Your Route Here
module.exports = app
As you can see, the application is already setup and loaded into the app
constant. Build your route and response within that file.
Just to be safe, before starting the tests or the server, run npm install
in your terminal.
You can run the tests with learn
.
To start your application, type npm start
. The IDE will give you an IP address and port for your application, locally, your application will be running at http://localhost:3000
.
