• Ng new
• Cd into app
• Npm install —save express body-parser (express organizes an architecture to run on a node server, body parser parses json)
• Npm install —save axios (for http requests to salesforce’s jsforce api)
• Npm install —save bootstrap (for easy styling)
• Create server.js file in root folder, copy and paste this into it ` // Get dependencies const express = require('express'); const path = require('path'); const http = require('http'); const bodyParser = require('body-parser');

// Get our API routes const api = require('./server/routes/api');

const app = express();

// Parsers for POST data app.use(bodyParser.json()); app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));

// Point static path to dist app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'dist')));

// Set our api routes app.use('/api', api);

// Catch all other routes and return the index file app.get('*', (req, res) => { res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, 'dist/index.html')); });

/**

• Get port from environment and store in Express. */ const port = process.env.PORT || '3000'; app.set('port', port);

/**

• Create HTTP server. */ const server = http.createServer(app);

/**

• Listen on provided port, on all network interfaces. */ server.listen(port, () => console.log(API running on localhost:${port})); `
• Create server folder
• Create routes folder in server folder
• Create a api.js file in routes folder ` const express = require('express'); const router = express.Router();

// declare axios for making http requests const axios = require('axios'); const API = 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com';

/* GET api listing. */ router.get('/', (req, res) => { res.send('api works'); });

// Get all posts router.get('/posts', (req, res) => { // Get posts from the mock api axios.get(${API}/posts) .then(posts => { res.status(200).json(posts.data); }) .catch(error => { res.status(500).send(error) }); });

module.exports = router; `
