The great thing about setting a NodeJS project means you can write Javascript code independent of ReactJS or Angular. This means debugging classes etc is so easy.

Setting up nodejs express

npm install -g express-generator

Creating a nodejs project

express <project location> --view pug

Set <project location> to “.” if you want to create a project in the current directory otherwise specify the path to the project.

npm install

Node will download the default project dependencies
