Node Cookbook - Third Edition

Getting ready

This recipe builds on the code from our last recipe, Creating a simple RESTful microservice. We'll be using the micro folder from the previous recipe as a starting point.

Let's install the express-generator, which we'll be using to rapidly generate Express scaffolding, and the standard linter (and formatter) that we'll use to reformat the generated code the lint rules use in this book.

To do this, run:

$ npm install -g express-generator standard 

Now, let's build our web app.
