  3. 00 - Intro

02 - Back-End Setup

In this module, we'll set up our file structure for our Server.

File Structure

Create the following folders and files in your JavaScript library:

        Node-Server
            └── server
                └── .gitignore
                └── app.js

.gitignore

  1. To create a .gitignore, you will go into VS Code and Add new file. The file extension is .gitignore. This is an actual file type.

  2. Add node_modules/ to your .gitignore. TAgain, anytime you work with npm packages, it's best practice to include this in your .gitignore. If you forget, hundreds or thousands of extra, unnecessary files will be pushed to your GitHub repository. Simply add the following to the .gitignore file: node_modules/

  3. app.js can be left blank for now.
