Cyclic - Express Hello World

This is a basic starter Expressjs app with:

  • Static file hosting
  • Logging Middleware
  • Catch-all handler that echoes request info

Quick Start

Local Quick Start

If you want to setup your dev account and deploy with git push

  • Fork this repo (or deploy above)
  • Clone to your local
  • Install dependencies npm install
  • Run locally npm serve
  • Make requests
    • Browser: http://localhost:3000/some/path?q=query+one&q=second+query&single=value
    • Command line: curl -i -XGET "http://localhost:3000/cmd/line-curl"
  • Deploy on Cyclic

Cyclic Runtime

  • Cyclic hosts your app on serverless infrastructure. That means there is no guarantee of memory or file system persistence between requests.
  • The runtime expects a nodejs entry point defined as:
    • package.json "main" field defines the entry point file (if missing uses index.js)
    • Entry point starts a server on process.env.PORT
