Development

• I learned how to apply a favicon in an express app. It involves using the serve-favicon npm package
• I learned how to use Sass in an expres app. I noticed that I did initialized with the generator the sass flag (--css=sass), but I noticed that it was not applying the changes I was making to my sass file. So to fix, in app.js I changed the indentedSyntax to false and change the file extension of my .sass file to .scss. Code below

• app.use(
  	sassMiddleware({
  		src: path.join(__dirname, 'public'),
  		dest: path.join(__dirname, 'public'),
  		indentedSyntax: false, // true = .sass and false = .scss
  		sourceMap: true
  	})
  );
