Server Page

First run npm install express inside the parent folder
Next create a file called server.js in the src folder

Now we create the server
The code for it looks like this:

            require("./db/connection");
    
            const express = require("express");
            const app = express();
            const router = require("[PATH TO ROUTE FILE HERE]")
    
            app.use(express.json());
            app.use(router)
            
            const port = process.env.PORT || 5000;
    
            app.listen(port, () => {
                console.log(`Server listening on port ${port}...`);
            });

                NOTE the first line starts the database connection
                This is very important and is easily missed

                To specify a specific port for example 3000
                run this is in the terminal
                export PORT=3000

NOW CREATE THE ROUTES FILE
