An almost simple server in Express.js

This project will allow you to practice setting up a server that will handle simple requests in Express.js.

What you will be doing

You will be setting up a server with four endpoints using the Express.js framework.

The endpoints will only respond to GET requests, and send a string as a response.

Tasks

Task 1 - Getting ready

1. Install the express.js npm package npm i express
2. Create the file server.js

Task 2 - Setting up your server

Use the following code to setup your server

import express from "express";

const app = express();

const server = app.listen(3001, () => {
  console.log("The server is listening... 🐒");
});

Task 3 - GET '/hello'

Create an endpoint that will respond to the path /hello

• It should send a response with a string. Use the following string;

Hello to you too!

Task 4 - GET '/time'
