Simple introduction to creating a REST service and api with node

Running the server

Clone the repository, then run this command in the project directory to run the server with the latest changes you've made to the api-server.js file:

node api-server.js

Now you can access the the app at (http://localhost:4000/index.html).

You should see a red background with instructions to "Set up your endpoint at /pokemon to get this view working".

We will do this in the api-server.js file. Our goal is to send back the list of pokemon declared as an array at the top of the file when the UI requests it from the /pokemon endpoint. We will know this has worked when a blue screen listing the pokemon shows in our browser.

see api-server.js
