How do I start with Node.js after I installed it?
Once we have installed Node.js, let's build our first web server.
Create a file named app.js
containing the following contents:
const http = require('http');
const hostname = '127.0.0.1';
const port = 3000;
const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
res.statusCode = 200;
res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
res.end('Hello World');
});
server.listen(port, hostname, () => {
console.log(`Server running at http://${hostname}:${port}/`);
});
Now, run your web server using node app.js
. Visit http://localhost:3000
and
you will see a message saying "Hello World".
