Getting started

Start by creating a package.json:

npm init

Install hapi and save it to your package.json dependencies:

npm install hapi --save

Create aserver.js file with the following contents:

'use strict';

const Hapi = require('hapi');

// Create a server with a host and port
const server = new Hapi.Server();
server.connection({ 
    host: 'localhost', 
    port: 8000 
});

// Add the route
server.route({
    method: 'GET',
    path:'/hello', 
    handler: function (request, reply) {

        return reply('hello world');
    }
});

// Start the server
server.start((err) => {

    if (err) {
        throw err;
    }
    console.log('Server running at:', server.info.uri);
});

Launch the application by running npm start and open localhost:8000/hello in your browser.

A rich framework for building applications and services
