tokens VS Express

Click on your profile in the top right corner > Settings > Developer settings, or visit: https://github.com/settings/tokens.

First of all, you need to generate a new GitHub Token. You can generate a token in your GitHub account settings at https://github.com/settings/tokens. Make sure to add the ‘read:packages’ scope to your token.

First, generate the GitHub token here.

Environment Variables Create a file .env in the root folder and add your own github api token as below

Go to the Personal access tokens area in the Developer settings of your GitHub profile and click Generate new token.

Versioning The initial step in this workflow involves generating version numbers based on git tag numbers. To access repository information, it's necessary to include a GitHub token in the secrets. You can create a GitHub token by following this link. Please keep in mind that secret names cannot start with the term GITHUB. For instance, you might save your GitHub token as TOKEN_GITHUB.

GitHub has tucked the personal access tokens admin in a slightly hard-to-find location. From anywhere in GitHub, you can click on your profile image → Settings → Developer Settings → Personal Access Tokens.

Generate a classic PAT (personal access token) from Github with repo and admin:org scopes at least.

YOUR_TOKEN="no_token_for_you" # IMPORTANT: your Github API access key, make one at "https://github.com/settings/tokens"

You should click on that and then you will see Tokens (classic) which will bring you to https://github.com/settings/tokens

Express: A lightweight framework for building web applications.

Now, we will create API using expressjs. When we created application using --ssr flag, the Angular CLI already took care of installing expressjs for us.

First, we import express. The Express framework allows us to create routes that will respond to webhook POST requests and serve an HTML file when a GET request is made to the root of the site.

Basic Knowledge of Express

Express.js Documentation

In the JavaScript ecosystem, there are guides for enabling SAML-based enterprise single sign-on in AdonisJS, Express.js, Next.js, Remix, and React with an Express.js backend.

Starting off strong with Express.js, the cool kid on the block for building web apps. It's lightweight, flexible, and doesn't throw a tantrum when you ask it to scale. With Express, you can handle HTTP requests like a pro, play around with middleware, set up routes without breaking a sweat, and render views that make your app look stunning. Big names like Netflix and Uber are already on board, and if it's good enough for them, it's definitely worth a peek.

Now we can install both Express and Socket.io libraries:

app.listen(3000); ``` Now you can run your server by executing `node index.js`. Your web application will be accessible at http://localhost:3000/, where you'll see "Hello, world!" displayed in your browser. Congratulations! 🎉 You've successfully set up basic routing with Express.js! This guide covered only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to utilizing Express.js features. Explore its extensive documentation (https://expressjs.com/) to discover more possibilities. Remember, with Express.js, you have the power to build efficient and scalable web applications. Happy coding!
