expressjsHow do I set up an Express.js engine for my web application?


Setting up an Express.js engine for your web application is a relatively simple process.

  1. Install the Express.js module:
$ npm install express
  1. Create a server.js file in the root of your project directory.

  2. Require the Express.js module in the server.js file:

const express = require('express');
  1. Create an instance of Express.js in the server.js file:
const app = express();
  1. Set up routes and middleware in the server.js file.

  2. Set the port for the server to listen on:

const port = 3000;
  1. Start the server:
app.listen(port);

You should now have a basic Express.js engine set up for your web application.
