Creating & running server

require 'server'

const server = require('server')
server.createServer(port)

SERVER

Listening for requests on a route:

server.addRoute(method, path, callback)

method: GET / POST path: The URL path callback: Function executed after client hits the route

• Example

  server.addRoute('GET', '/', (request, response) => {
      response.render('index.html')
  })

  server.addRoute('POST', '/post', (req, res) => {
      console.log('body >>>', req.body)
      res.setStatus(200)
      res.send()
  })

RESPONSE Methods

• response.render('index.html')

  • renders file "views/index.html"
  • './views' is the default directory. All your html files should be here for res.render to work

• response.json(data)

  • converts 'data' to JSON and puts it in res.body
  • NOTE: res.send() is needed to write the data to the socket

  • Example

      res.json("lorem ipsum")
      res.send()

• response.setStatus(statusCode)

  • sets res.statusCode and the appropriate res.statusMessage to the response object
