//to run : node filename.js
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}`))

app.get('/from', (req, res) => {
  res.redirect('/to');
});
