Praneshchow / the-news-dragon-server

This is the server part of "the news dragon"

Install and setup the server:

First setup the backend server: mkdir the-news-dragon-server

npm init: npm init -y

npm install express: npm install express

Then create a file 'index.js'. I write my code in 'index.js'.

cors helps to access the server for my project API call. otherwise API call in my project will show 'failed to load'.
