multiple people have asked for different code exposure options and a more varied way to learn. In this Warmup, recommendation is that you repetetively build out a basic express server. Play around with this. Strengthen Yourself. Build on your existing skills.
- If you want to run this code and start the server complete the following steps
git clone https://github.com/rkgallaway/301-server-warmup.git
cd 301-server-warmup
npm i
- create a .env file (see sample.env)
- define your PORT variable in your .env, if you use PORT 3001, the examples below will work out of the box
npx nodemon
- Examples for hitting this server's routes:
http://localhost:3001http://localhost:3001/bananahttp://localhost:3001/greet?name=Ryanhttp://localhost:3001/thisRouteDoesntExist
- Try duplicating this server code without looking at demo code while "peeking" as necessary if you forget or things don't work. specific routes are mostly unimportant, I encourage a base route '/' and a catch all '/*'
- Try to build out this server until you can code it from memory in minutes, add different routes, maybe routes that accept parameters. Have fun abnd gain confidence.
- Use this exercise as a warmup before you are going to work in a 401 javaScript backend or to keep your server writing skills fresh
