We will first create a nodejs server then we will use a web browser to access the server.<\/p>\n<h3>Components of nodejs application:<\/h3>\n<p><strong>1. Importing modules<\/strong>: To include anything in nodejs we use the require() function.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Creating server:<\/strong> This will listen to the client requests. Mostly http methods to create the server.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Request and response:<\/strong> The server will listen to the http requests made by the client and in turn will send a response for that request.<\/p>\n<h3>Importing Module:<\/h3>\n<p>At first we will be importing all the modules that we will be using. For this application we are using the http module so we will include it in our project file using require function()<\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"generic\">let http=require(\u2018http\u2019)<\/pre>\n<h3>Creating the server:<\/h3>\n<p>We will be using the create http server method to create our server, next we will be using the listen method to set our port to 3000.
