Hi @mukilan mws ,
When it comes to NodeJS, you don't create an exe. The Node runtime will start your .js
file on a web server instance and expose the port so that it can respond to request. To determine what that start file is, it's set in your package.json
file under "main:"
or "start:"
. In Visual Studio NodeJS project, this is done by the <StartupFile />
and <StartWebBrowser />
element tags, VS 2019 and later. When it comes to build, I see that your codebase is js, so there isn't a project build per se, unless if you have to your package.json to copy your code to a /dist
type of folder.
I would encourage you to check out https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/javascript/?view=vs-2019 to become more familiar with Javascript projects in Visual Studio.
