# XpresserJs, First post on Hashnode.

Hey There, 👋

So we have decided to host the blog version of the  [xpresserjs](https://xpresserjs.com)  framework on  [hashnode.com](https://hashnode.com). We were a few days away from creating our own markdown supported blog from scratch before we learned about hashnode and so far it feels like home. 😉

### What is XpresserJs
XpresserJs is a server-side and command-line framework for Nodejs built using [express](https://expressjs.com) as it's server.

##### Visit the [official documentation](https://xpresserjs.com) to learn more about XpresserJs


#### A few lines about xpresserjs
Create file **server.js**
```javascript
// Import Xpresser
const xpresser = require("xpresser")

// Initialize with your configuration.
const $ = xpresser.init({
     env: process.env.NODE_ENV,
     name: "My First Xpresser Project"
     paths: {
          base: __dirname,
          routesFile: "routes.js",
     }
})

// Boot Xpresser
$.boot();
```

With these few lines of code, you have a full MVC framework waiting for you to start building.

Run `node server.js` and you should see a beautiful 404 error page. This is because no routes have been added.


### Adding routes
create file **routes.js**

```javascript
const {getInstanceRouter} = require("xpresser");
const router = getInstanceRouter();

router.get('/', () => "Hello World");
router.get('/about', http => http.send({
     url: http.req.url
}));
```

Re-run `node server.js` and visit **/** and **/about**
