refresh a page in the browser node js
To refresh a page in the browser using Node.js, you can follow these steps:
- First, you need to install the
express
framework by running the following command in your terminal:
npm install express
- Once
express
is installed, create a new file, for example,app.js
, and add the following code to create a basic server:
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
app.get('/refresh', (req, res) => {
res.send('<script>location.reload()</script>');
});
app.listen(3000, () => {
console.log('Server running on port 3000');
});
- After saving the changes, run the server by executing the following command:
node app.js
- With the server running, open a web browser and navigate to
http://localhost:3000/refresh
. This will trigger a page refresh in the browser.
These steps install the express
framework, create a basic server, define a route to refresh the page, and execute the server to enable the page refresh functionality.
