Favorites Server

In this exercise we create a simple HTTP server which is running on localhost and demonstrates basic URL parsing and routing.

Required Packages

npm install http
npm install url
npm install fs

Run The Server

First clone the repository:

git clone git@github.com:angrbrd/favorites-server.git

Then run the server with the steps below:

cd favorites-server
node favorites-server.js

You will see the following output on your console:

Favorites server is now listening on http://localhost:8080

Examples

Open your browser and point it to localhost:8080 to see the available links and click on them to observe the routing based on URL. If an unknown URL is entered, a 404 landing page is returned.
