1. Challenge

   Use Express to Create a Server

   Overview

   In this lab you’ll follow along with our instructions and build a simple Banking Portal with Node & Express. You’ll create several routes that will display data read from files. You will then create several routes that will handle form data and then write that data to a file. In this module you'll create an Express server listening on port 3000 that will have one route.

   To view the running webapp:

   • Run npm start from the VS Code terminal
   • Open the Simple Browser.
     • Open the Command Palette (Control/Command+Shift+P)
     • Search for Simple Browser
     • Enter the address: {{localhost:3000}} The solution can be found in the solution directory.
