createServer

external fun <Request : IncomingMessage, Response : ServerResponse<*>> createServer(requestListener: RequestListener<Request, Response> = definedExternally): Server<Request, Response>(source)

Returns a new instance of {@link Server}.

The requestListener is a function which is automatically added to the 'request' event.

import http from 'node:http';

// Create a local server to receive data from
const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' });
  res.end(JSON.stringify({
    data: 'Hello World!',
  }));
});

server.listen(8000);

import http from 'node:http';

// Create a local server to receive data from
const server = http.createServer();

// Listen to the request event
server.on('request', (request, res) => {
  res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' });
  res.end(JSON.stringify({
    data: 'Hello World!',
  }));
});

server.listen(8000);
