Exercise 1: The Minimal Server — Possible Solution ==================================================================== // server.js const express = require('express'); const app = express(); app.get('/', (req, res) => { res.send('Hello World'); }); app.listen(3000, () => { console.log('Server running on http://localhost:3000'); }); CONFIRMATION ------------------------------ Running node server.js and visiting http://localhost:3000 in a browser displays the plain text "Hello World" - confirming the server starts correctly and a single hand-registered route responds. WHY THIS WORKS AS AN ANSWER ------------------------------ It correctly scaffolds a minimal working Express server with one route, and correctly confirms it responds at the expected local URL.
