# node-expressjs
* Express framework to implement similar functionality as implemented by the HTTP module based servers in the previous exercise. At the end of this exercise, you will be able to:
- Implement a simple web server using Express framework
- Implement a web server that serves static content
# A Simple Server using Express
- Create a folder named node-express at a convenient location on your computer and move to that folder.
- Copy the public folder from node-http to this folder.
- Create a file named server-1.js and add the following code to it:
````
var express = require('express'),
http = require('http');
var hostname = 'localhost';
var port = 3000;
var app = express();
app.use(function (req, res, next) {
console.log(req.headers);
res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/html' });
res.end('
Hello World
');
});
var server = http.createServer(app);
server.listen(port, hostname, function(){
console.log(`Server running at http://${hostname}:${port}/`);
});
````
Then, install the Express framework in the folder by typing the following at the prompt:
````
npm install express --save
````
Start the server by typing the following at the prompt, and then interact with the server:
````
node server-1
````
Serving Static Files
Create a file named server-2.js and add the following code to it:
````
var express = require('express');
var morgan = require('morgan');
var hostname = 'localhost';
var port = 3000;
var app = express();
app.use(morgan('dev'));
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));
app.listen(port, hostname, function(){
console.log(`Server running at http://${hostname}:${port}/`);
});
````
Then, install morgan by typing the following at the prompt:
````
npm install morgan --save
````
Start the server and interact with it and observe the behavior.
