expressjsHow do I use Express.js to create the next route?

Express.js is a web application framework for Node.js used to create web applications and APIs. To create a route using Express.js, you need to first require the Express module, create an Express application, and then use the app.METHOD() function to create the route.

For example, to create a GET route for the path /example, you would use the following code:

const express = require('express');
const app = express();

app.get('/example', (req, res) => {
  res.send('This is an example route!');
});

The output of the code above would be This is an example route! when a GET request is made to /example.

Code explanation

• const express = require('express'); - This line requires the Express module.
• const app = express(); - This line creates an Express application.
• app.get('/example', (req, res) => { - This line creates a GET route for the path /example.
• res.send('This is an example route!'); - This line sends a response with the message This is an example route! when a GET request is made to /example.
