A new idea before you use itweb server

A web server is a program that waits for requests and sends an answer to each one.

A familiar way to picture it

A store clerk who waits at the counter and answers every customer who walks up.

request
server handler
answer

Your server answers GET / with the place's name.

Current Task

You will change the answer your server sends. The code below says the server answers every request with 'Sari-Sari Store API'. This is the first answer your server gives. It tells users your server is ready. Run the checker to confirm your server answers GET / with 'Sari-Sari Store API'. In server.js: `res.end("Sari-Sari Store API");`

Take your time with this step

You have room to write this yourself, but you do not need to guess. Read the instruction closely, make one focused change, then press Run. The checks are here to guide your next attempt, not to punish a first draft.

What the checker will look for

These checks are clues, not a score. After you press Run, read the first unfinished check slowly, compare it with your code, and make one thoughtful change before trying again.

GET / answers Sari-Sari Store API

Run your code first. If a check needs work, CodeDaddy will guide you from the check to the file, then to an authored hint.

Your computer

This course runs in your own terminal: Git Bash on Windows, or Terminal on Mac and Linux. You need Node.js 22.13 or newer installed, and Git 2.28 or newer for the Git course.

Download the checker once and keep it next to your project folders. Download it again if a check says it is out of date.

In a new, empty folder, create this project's starting files:
node codedaddy-check.mjs start api-basics/first-server-sari-sari
After you finish the step, check your folder:
node codedaddy-check.mjs check api-first-server-sari-sari-1
Copy the report from the START line to the END line, paste it into report.txt, then press Run.

Results here are reported by you from your own computer. They are practice only: they add no XP and do not count toward a certificate.
