Routemaster

Setup a Basic Express Server with Routing

1. Install Express: Make sure you have Node.js installed. Then create a new directory for your project and install Express:

mkdir my-routemaster cd my-routemaster npm init -y npm install express

1. Create the Server: Create a file named server.js:

const express = require('express'); const app = express(); const PORT = 3000; // Define routes app.get('/', (req, res) => { res.send('Welcome to the Routemaster!'); }); app.get('/about', (req, res) => { res.send('This is the about page.'); }); app.get('/contact', (req, res) => { res.send('This is the contact page.'); }); // Start the server app.listen(PORT, () => { console.log(`Server is running on http://localhost:${PORT}`); });

1. Run the Server: Start your server by running:

node server.js

1. Access the Routes: Open your browser and go to:
   • http://localhost:3000/ for the home page
   • http://localhost:3000/about for the about page
   • http://localhost:3000/contact for the contact page
