Example 1: express.js server
/* ====== create node.js server with express.js framework ====== */
// dependencies
const express = require("express");
const app = express();
app.get("/", (req, res) => {
res.send("This is home page.");
});
app.post("/", (req, res) => {
res.send("This is home page with post request.");
});
// PORT
const PORT = 3000;
app.listen(PORT, () => {
console.log(`Server is running on PORT: ${PORT}`);
});
// ======== Instructions ========
// save this as index.js
// you have to download and install node.js on your machine
// open terminal or command prompt
// type node index.js
// find your server at http://localhost:3000
Example 2: how to make an express server
// this is your code
// ZDev1#4511 on discord if you want more help!
// first you should install express in the terminal
// `npm i express`.
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
// route
app.get('/', (req,res)=>{
// Sending This is the home page! in the page
res.send('This is the home page!');
});
// Listening to the port
let PORT = 3000;
app.listen(PORT)
// FINISH!
Example 3: simple express server
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.send('<h1>Some HTML</h1>');
res.send('<p>Even more HTML</p>');
});
app.listen(PORT, () => console.log(`Server is listening on port ${PORT}`));
Example 4: node.js express
const express = require('express')
const app = express()
const port = 3000
app.get('/', (req, res) => res.send('Hello World!'))
app.listen(port, () => console.log(`Example app listening at http://localhost:${port}`))
Example 5: simple express server
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
app.use(bodyParser.json());
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;
app.use(bodyParser.json());
//connecting to db
try {
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/YOUR_DB_NAME', {
useNewUrlParser: true,
useUnifiedTopology: true,
useCreateIndex: true,
}, () =>
console.log("connected"));
} catch (error) {
console.log("could not connect");
}
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.send('<h1>Some HTML</h1>');
res.send('<p>Even more HTML</p>');
});
app.listen(PORT, () => console.log(`Server is listening on port ${PORT}`));
Example 6: require express server.js
const express = require('express')const app = express() app.get('/', function (req, res) { res.send('Hello World')}) app.listen(3000)
