Let's get started right away

New node app

Initiate a new node app using the following command

 npm init -y

The -y option autofill necessary details in our package.json file. However the entry point would be "index.js" file. If you prefer to use some other page like app.js, you can ignore the -y option and respond to individual prompts.

Install Express

Express is an extremely popular minimal web framework and routing middleware for building server-side applications in Node.js.

So let's install

npm i express

Type : Module

In our package.json file, add a "type" key with the value of "module"

"type": "module"

Building application

It's time to start building our application. In our index.js file, follow the below steps

import express

import express from "express";

Initiate new express app instance

const app = express();

Home Page Routing

app.get("/", async (req, res) => {
  await res.send("<b>Hello World!!</b>");
});

The "/" route belongs to index Page and we are sending our required response back to the browser(client).

Start Listening

app.listen(3000, () => console.log("Netflix Hello World"));

As is the norm our express app will listen for incoming requests in port 3000

Complete App

import express from "express";

const app = express();

app.get("/", async (req, res) => {
  await res.send("<b>Hello World!!</b>");
});

app.listen(3000, () => console.log("Netflix Hello World"));
