Part 1: An API that enables users to send payment requests. The API will help process the payment and respond either success or error (with the appropriate error messages)

What are these initial commit files?

main.js

This is the main file that is run (like main method of java) when the server boots up. Any init code can be placed here.

package.json

This is the file that defines this node module. The description, name and version are here. In addition, the dependencies, licenses and scripts are found here.

index.html

This is the main page of the node.js server that is sent when receiving a request. We may not require this as we can use React.js to build up dynamic responses based on the request that is sent by the requester.

How do I know what file type (e.g. .js/.html) to use?

HTML files

HTML files are used for showing the output or things such as a form

JS files

JS files are used to define the code that will be run by node.js

Also can be used as animation functions for HTML, etc

You will need to output HTML code OR HTML files as the response when dealing with requests.

CSS files

You may use css files to style the html files via linking

JSON files

JSON files are for storage of properties
