That’s from replit and I only add the author’s name with my name.

You can also give CodeSandbox a try.

14

I followed your video and found out I needed to type enable-npm not enable npm. it reloaded fine but in the result, it reads not found. I guess I will have to learn how to Zoom in the morning. :man_shrugging:

16

yep i did that just like your video but I know I did something different

18

glitch is stating that on its own I guess it saves it so how do I remove it from my dashboard.

19

Are you using Sandbox if so how did you get the boilerplate in the sandbox. is there a link like in past courses?

21

I’m going back over the posed to try that and I’m using edge now too. I archived the file so everything is new plus I going to try sandbox if I can get the boilerplate in the sandbox.

22

Ok I got Sandbox working ok

var express = require("express");
var app = express();
console.log("Hello World");
app.get("/", (request, reponse) => {
  reponse.send("Hello Express");
});

Console.log works but not the Hello Express. I don’t see the problem and I don’t know how to use the terminal in Sandbox. to put in the enable-npm. but i think it is my code, not the terminal do you see a mistake.

23

You seem to have remove module.exports from the bottom in myApp.js

module.exports = app;

Also, please link to the editor instead.

24

the module is there I don’t think it’s in working so how do i fix that
My Sand box

let express = require("express");
let app = express();

app.get("/", (req, res) => {
  res.send("Hello Express");
});
// function(req, res) {
//   res.send('Response String');
// }
module.exports = app;
25

Your code is passing for me. What link are you submitting, it has to be the live app link.

I haven’t submitted because there is nothing in my preview window

27
