Example 1: express hello world
//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}`))
//visit localhost:3000
// assuming you have done 1) npm init 2) npm install express
Example 2: app.post('/', function (req, res) { res.send('POST request to homepage') })
var express = require("express");
var bodyParser = require("body-parser");
var app = express();

res.end("yes");
});
app.listen(3000,function(){
