My favorite way of installing Node.js is by using a version manager. It’s recommended to always use the LTS (Long Term Support) release channel for projects that will go to production the Current channel is good for learning and experimentation purposes.

If you do an HTTP GET request to that URL, you’ll get a JSON response with the data that will be rendered in the UI, but the project doesn’t teach you where this data came from or how to build that API service. You might have noticed that while creating the Data Service Module of this project, you were given a URL ( ). Lightning Web Component open-source application deployed to Heroku Go ahead - work on that first project and come back here when you are ready you will be building the API used on that project to serve the session’s data, and then you will be deploying it to Heroku. In order to build the API, you’ll need to invest some time on Trailhead (and get a new badge on your profile!), where there is a great project that will teach you how to build a web application using Lightning Web Components Open Source. So, for your first project, you will build an API for a Lightning Web Components application.

Node.js is great for building web applications, especially APIs. Well, now it is time to start building your first Node.js web application. In the previous blog post of this series, you learned what Node.js is and why it matters to Salesforce developers, but I strongly believe that the best way of learning is by doing.
