Assignments
As always, our first program on the server is a small script designed to greet the world with the infamous “Hello World”.
- Open your Webstorm editor and establish a JavaScriptfile. Name ist helloWorld.js. The file extension is assigned automatically.
- Write in this script your helloWorld statement, using the JS command console.log(). Save your file.
- Generate more terminal outputs by using arrays, for iterations and console.log() function. e.g. ['Hello ', 'World!', 'Hello', 'Universe!'];
- Open a terminal window by clicking the terminal-icon at the left lower rim of Webstorm.
- Install all missing JS packages, that Webstorm requires from you.
- Start your server by using the node command, e.g. node helloWorld.js
- If everything is correct, you will see the helloWorld statement as an output from your server in the bottom terminal window of Webstorm.
