How can I implement indexing in Express.js?

You can implement indexing in Express.js by using middleware to handle requests and responses efficiently. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example.

Here's a simple example:

const express = require('express');
const app = express();

app.get('/items', (req, res) => {
    // Simulate fetching items with indexing
    const items = [/* array of items */];
    const indexedItems = items.map((item, index) => ({ index, item }));
    res.json(indexedItems);
});

app.listen(3000, () => {
    console.log('Server is running on port 3000');
});

This code sets up a basic Express server that indexes items.

How do I handle errors in this setup?

You can handle errors by adding an error-handling middleware at the end of your middleware stack. Here's an example:

app.use((err, req, res, next) => {
    console.error(err.stack);
    res.status(500).send('Something broke!');
});
