Coding problem 28

Create an express app. Then, create new GET request with the endpoint /intro that sends back a
very simple introduction. You can make the message anything you want. It should look something
similar to the below screenshot:

Solution:

let express = require('express');

let app = express();

app.get('/intro', function(req,res) {
res.send(`
<h1>Hi there!</h1>
<h2>I'm Aarthi. How are you?</h2>
`)
});

app.listen(5000, () => {
console.log('Server has started!');
});

In the browser, send type and press http://localhost:5000/intro in the address bar to see
the output.

Use express’s built-in methods to retrieve the details of a HTML file blog.html. But the catch is, the
request URL must contain a Unique id tagged to it, and the output should reflect that id in the title.

1. For example, if the url is http://localhost:5000/blog/1, then the output of the GET request should be:

Solution:

let express = require('express');

let app = express();

app.get('/blog/:id', function(req,res) {
console.log(req.params);
res.send(`
<div style="text-align: center">
<h1>Blog post ${req.params.id}</h1>
<h2>Blog post ${req.params.id} subtitle</h2>

Coding problem 30
Create multiple GET requests in express for different endpoints, like the following:
1. /greet -> just displays a simple ‘Hello there, Welcome message’. You can design it however
you want in HTML.
2. /message -> Just print a simple message.
3. /intro -> An introduction about yourself or a made-up person.
4. /greet/:name -> Personalized greeting based on the name you get in the parameters.

Solution:

let express = require('express');

let app = express();

app.get('/greet', function(req,res) {
res.send(`
<h1>Hello there!</h1>
<h2>Welcome to the page.</h2>
`)
});

app.get('/message', function(req,res) {
res.send(`
<h1>Message title</h1>
<p>Message body</p>
`)
});

app.get('/greet/:name', function(req,res) {
res.send(`

<h2>Welcome to the page.</h2>
`)
});

app.get('/intro', function(req,res) {
res.send(`
<h1>Hi there!</h1>
<h2>I'm Aarthi. I'm a programmer. </h2>
`)
});

app.listen(5000, () => {
console.log('Server has started!');
});

Try the different endpoints to check them now.

Coding problem 31
Create a /add endpoint. Get the numbers 1 and 2 from the request URL, parse them, add them, and
display the result on the browser, like this:

1. The URL should be like this: http://localhost:5000/add?num1=10&num2=20

2. The output should be like this:

Solution:

let express = require('express');

let url = require('url');
let app = express();

app.get('/add', function(req,res) {
let inUrl = url.parse(req.url, true);
let nums = inUrl.query;

`)
});

app.listen(5000, () => {
console.log('Server has started!');
});
