Express JS is a minimal and flexible Node.js web application framework that provides a robust set of features to develop web and mobile applications. It facilitates the rapid development of Node based Web applications.
Installing
Assuming youve already installed Node.js, create a directory to hold your application, and make that your working directory.
$ mkdir myapp
$ cd myapp
Use the npm init
command to create a package.json
file for your application. For more information on how package.json
works, see Specifics of npms package.json handling.
$ npm init
This command prompts you for a number of things, such as the name and version of your application. For now, you can simply hit RETURN to accept the defaults for most of them, with the following exception:
entry point: (index.js)
Enter app.js
, or whatever you want the name of the main file to be. If you want it to be index.js
, hit RETURN to accept the suggested default file name.
Now install Express in the myapp
directory and save it in the dependencies list. For example:
$ npm install express --save
To install Express temporarily and not add it to the dependencies list:
$ npm install express --no-save
By default with version npm 5.0+ npm install adds the module to the dependencies
list in the package.json
file; with earlier versions of npm, you must specify the --save
option explicitly. Then, afterwards, running npm install
in the app directory will automatically install modules in the dependencies list.
