Creating a Route with Express

Hi Felix, You didn't mention what code you are actually using, just you were not getting the same results so I'm going to answer based off of what I recall from this section. Hopefully by now you have this figured out but in case you don't I hope it helps.

If you have your own version of Express open on your editor, your code generally will look like this:

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

app.get('/', function (req, res) { // "/" = your root, req = request, res = response
    res.send('Hi der!') /*<-- will either be a root page to serve or another page */
})

app.listen(3000, function() {
    console.log('App is listening on port 3000!')
})

Make sure you restart the server so it will capture any changes you've made (and clear the "Cannot GET /" error) ctrl+c to stop itfollowed by node + index.js (or your insertion point filename) in your terminal then navigate to the page in your browser - for this example it would be "localhost:3000" or "localhost:3000/about" to serve the root "landing" or "about" page.

--> if you are using Nodemon just type "nodemon"in your terminal.
