As a user, I want to be able to create new articles and allow guests to retrieve those new articles.
- Initialize the project with
npm init
, which createspackage.json
andpackage-lock.json
files. Don't forget to addnode_modules
to your.gitignore
file! - Use NPM to install ExpressJS and ensure that it's been saved as a dependency in the
package.json
file.
As a developer, I want to use the ExpressJS framework to set up a server file to handle HTTP requests and deliver responses.
- Instantiate the ExpressJS framework and configure the
app.use()
middleware to interface with the file system to serve static resources. Include a comment to explain why our files are in a "public" directory now and how ExpressJS serves our local files. - Ensure that the server is listening for incoming requests. Include a message to let you know on which port your server is running.
- Run the server using
node server
and ensure that your app functions correctly. If you'd like to have your code live re-load the way thatlive-server
did, install the NPM packagenodemon
and use that to run your server.
As a user, I want to access the form directly so I can easily add new articles.
- Create a route and callback that will serve up the new.html page via a separate URI.
- As you write your code, use arrow functions and refactor any existing methods to use arrow functions, where possible.
As a user, I want feedback if I have made an error so that I can make sure to always access the correct URL.
- Create a 404 route to handle any requests other than index.html or new.html, and deliver a 404 status and a message to those invalid requests.

## Getting Started
<!-- What are the steps that a user must take in order to build this app on their own machine and get it running? -->
## Architecture
<!-- Provide a detailed description of the application design. What technologies (languages, libraries, etc) you're using, and any other relevant design information. -->
## Change Log
<!-- Use this are to document the iterative changes made to your application as each feature is successfully implemented. Use time stamps. Here's an examples:
