Your First Express App Lab

Objectives

  1. Build an Express route responding to a GET request.
  2. 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.
