Creating a Server in Node.js using Express Js

A guide to create a server in Node.js using Express Js.

Edit index.js file with the code:

       const express = require('express);
       const app = express();

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

       app.listen(3000);

The above code is the simplest code to start a server using expressJs in NodeJs. However, the module express is third party module that need to be install before importing in project. To download express type a single line code

       //Choose one

       npm install express

       npm i express

       //specify version
       npm i express@4.18.2

       //install globally on device
       // no need to install in each project 
       // once installed globally
       npm install express -g
