Express JS

Hello Express

var express = require('express');

var app = express();

app.get('/', function (req, res) {
    res.send('Hello from Library app');
})

app.listen(3000, function () {
    console.log('listening ');
})

sendFile

In the previous example we just displayed some text. Now we are going to add an html file into the views folder and name it index.html.

var express = require('express');
var path = require('path');

var app = express();

app.get('/', function(req, res){
    res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, 'views', 'index.html'));
})

app.listen(3000, function(){
    console.log('listening');
})
