Example 1: Filename-index.js

Javascript

// Node.js program to demonstrate the
// response.statusCode method

// Importing http module
const http = require('http');

// Setting up PORT
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;

// Creating http Server
const httpServer = http.createServer(
    function (request, response) {

        // Getting the statusCode
        // by using statusCode method
        const value = response.statusCode;

        // Display result by using end() method
        response.end("statusCode : " + value, 'utf8', () => {
            console.log("displaying the result...");

            httpServer.close(() => {
                console.log("server is closed")
            })
        });
    });

// Listening to http Server
httpServer.listen(PORT, () => {
    console.log("Server is running at port 3000...");
});

Run the index.js file using the following command:

node index.js

Output:

Server is running at port 3000...
displaying the result...
server is closed

Now open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000/, you will see the following output:

statusCode : 200

Example 2: Filename-index.js

Javascript

// Node.js program to demonstrate the
// response.statusCode method

// Importing http module
const http = require('http');

// Request and response handler
const httpHandlers = (request, response) => {

    // Getting the statusCode
    // by using statusCode method
    const value = response.statusCode;

    // Display result by using end() method
    response.end("statusCode : " + value, 'utf8', () => {
        console.log("displaying the result...");

        httpServer.close(() => {
            console.log("server is closed")
        })
    });
};

// Creating http Server
const httpServer = http.createServer(
    httpHandlers).listen(3000, () => {
        console.log("Server is running at port 3000...");
    });

Run the index.js file using the following command:

node index.js

Output:

Server is running at port 3000...
displaying the result...
server is closed

Now open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000/, you will see the following output:

statusCode : 200
