// First we require the http native module and we store it in a variable
const http = require('http');
// Then we set a port based on the following condition: if the enviroment variable
// 'PORT' exists, then we use it. Else, we use 3000.
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;
// Then we call the createServer() function to initialize our server
// And we store it in a cool variable.
const server = http.createServer(
// Note this function, this function will allow us to add routing,
// functionallities and other stuff to our ser
() => {
console.log('Im the function that holds a lot of your server functions')
// Then we call the listen() function to start listening on the Port that we have set
}).listen(PORT);
server.on('listening', () => { console.log('We are listening on', PORT) });
