How to write ‘Beautiful Life’ in Node.js ?

Node.js is an open-source and cross-platform runtime environment for executing JavaScript code outside a browser. You need to remember that NodeJS is not a framework and it’s not a programming language. Most people are confused and understand it’s a framework or a programming language. We often use Node.js for building back-end services like APIs like Web App or Mobile App. It’s used in production by large companies such as Paypal, Uber, Netflix, Walmart, and so on.

Example: In this article, we will learn how to write “Beautiful Life” in Node.js. Create a .js file like we have created the geeksforgeeks.js file and write down the following code in it.

Filename: geeksforgeeks.js

Javascript

const http = require('http');

// Create a server object:
http.createServer(function (request, response) {

    // Write a response to the client
    response.write('Beautiful Life');

    // End the response
    response.end();

    // The server object listens on port 8080
}).listen(8080);

Step to run file: Open CMD and go to the folder directory where the above file is kept, then run the following command.

node geeksforgeeks.js

Output: Open any browser and go to http://localhost:8080/, you will see the following output.
