how to use node js code example

Example 1: how to get started with nodejs

const http = require('http');

const hostname = '127.0.0.1';
const port = 3000;

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  res.statusCode = 200;
  res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
  res.end('Hello World');
});

server.listen(port, hostname, () => {
  console.log(`Server running at http://${hostname}:${port}/`);
});

Example 2: what is node.js

Javascript was always a client side language until node.js.
Common server side languages include PHP, Python, Perl, Ruby
and several more. Node enables you to use Javascript server side.
This now means you can have a consistent language both ends
which could not be done prior to Node.
