create a node.js app code example

Example 1: node js server

const express = require('express')
const app = express()
const port = 3000

app.get('/', (req, res) => res.send('Hello World!'))

app.listen(port, () => console.log(`Example app listening at http://localhost:${port}`))

Example 2: create node project

#1. server.js
var express = require('express');
var app = express();

app.get('/', function (req, res) {
  res.status(200).send('Hello World!');
});

var port = process.env.PORT || 3000;

var server = app.listen(port, function() {
  console.log('Express server listening on port ' + port);
});

open cmd run server.js
"node server.js"
log:Express server listening on port 3000

& then

open link "http://localhost:3000/" in your browser and show result.

Example 3: run node app locally

// Run this command in your terminal to start your node application.
// Replace the tag with your applications main file name (ex index.js, main.js etc). 
// Add alternative a relative or absolute path before the name.

node <filename>.js
