In JS file

There are mainly three methods to be used in JS file.

http

Loading `http` object with `require` method.

const http = require(‘http’);

This code provides functionality for HTTP access.

HTTP is a protocol (procedure) used for exchanging data on websites.

createServer

Create a script to create a server object.

The server object is provided as an object called `http.Server`, and the createServer method is used to create this object.

const server = http.createServer((request, response) => {
  Displayed screen
})

- request: from client to server
- response: from server to client

In `createServer`, there is a function that is required when the `http.Server` object created by `createServer` is run as a server. When someone accesses that server, this function will be called.
