Why doesn't the simplest node.js code run?

Question

JavaScript

I started reading the tutorial, but for some reason the first example from the book does not start. What is the problem?

const http = require(`http`);

http.createServer((request, response) => console.log(`works...`));

http.listen(8080);

stacktrace:

C:\Users\iamevg_\Desktop>node app.js
C:\Users\iamevg_\Desktop\app.js:5
http.listen(8080);
     ^

TypeError: http.listen is not a function

Answer 1

const http = require('http')
const server = new http.Server((req,res) => console.log('works...'));
server.listen(8000)
