const express = require(‘express’)


//this line import the express module and assigns it to variable
‘express’

const app = express()


// create an instance of an express application

app.listen(3000, ()=> {
console.log(‘Server is running on port 300’);
});
// this means server is running on locally on port 3000 if not
console will show error

app.get(‘/’, (req, res) => {


res.send(“Hello from Node API”)
});
// ‘/’ – means the home page,
Req – is the request send by the users
Res – is the response to the request send from the server
