A Netlify é uma plataforma de hospedagem e automação projetada para simplificar o desenvolvimento, implantação e gerenciamento de aplicativos web modernos. Funcionando como uma solução de PaaS (Platform as a Service), a Netlify oferece aos desenvolvedores uma abordagem fácil e eficiente para hospedar sites, aplicativos e funções serverless.

This project demonstrates how to set up a basic Express.js server and deploy it on Netlify using serverless functions. Follow the steps below to implement this model.

└── node_modules/

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

• Node.js (v14 or later)
• npm (v6 or later)
• Netlify CLI

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/marco0antonio0/About-express-netlify
   cd About-express-netlify

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

1. Create netlify.toml file:

   [functions]
       external_node_modules = ["express"]
       node_bundler = "esbuild"
   
   [[redirects]]
       force = true
       from = "/api/*"
       status = 200
       to = "/.netlify/functions/api/:splat"
   
   [build]
       command = "echo Building Functions"

2. Create netlify/functions/api.js file:

       import express, { Router } from "express";
       import serverless from "serverless-http";
   
       const api = express();
   
       const router = Router();
       router.get("/hello", (req, res) => res.send("Hello World!"));
   
       api.use("/api/", router);
   
       export const handler = serverless(api);
   

3. Ensure your package.json includes the necessary dependencies:

       {
       "name": "example_project",
       "version": "1.0.0",
       "main": "index.js",
       "scripts": {
       "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
       },
       "keywords": [],
       "author": "",
       "license": "ISC",
       "description": "",
       "dependencies": {
           "@netlify/functions": "^2.7.0",
           "@types/express": "^4.17.21",
           "express": "^4.19.2",
           "serverless-http": "^3.2.0"
               }
       }

Once deployed, you can access your Express.js API through the Netlify URL. For example, if your Netlify site is https://yoursite.netlify.app, you can access the API endpoint at:

https://yoursite.netlify.app/api/hello

This should return Hello World!.
