- [Instructor] When creating a web application,…you can think of it as having a division…between two responsibilities.…You can either host static content or dynamic content.…Static content can be things like HTML files for web sites…or images, videos, etc.…Dynamic content, on the other hand, is served through…a web API, or sometimes it's used to serve dynamic webpages…where the content or the view is composed…on the server itself.…
In our case, we'll look at serving a simple HTML file…for static files, and then we will create a web API…to show how we can serve dynamic content.…So let's begin by serving some static files with Express.js.…The first thing we'll need to do…is create our project folder.…So please go ahead and do that,…since we will be working in this folder…over multiple videos,…and we won't be recreating a new project for every video.…Then make sure you open up that folder inside your editor.…
Next, let's create our server file.…So I'll create a new file and call it server.js.…One thing to keep in mind…
