Challenge description for making a GET request

This part of the exercise is implemented by taking the following steps:

• Install and import both the express and node-fetch packages.

• Configure the PORT and app.listen() in Express.

• Make a GET request using the fetch npm package to the REST API below from JSONPlaceholder:

https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts

• The GET request should display only the first post from the REST API inside of the console, and the result should look like what we have below:

{
  userId: 1,
  id: 1,
  title: 'sunt aut facere repellat provident occaecati excepturi optio reprehenderit',
  body: 'quia et suscipit\n' +
    'suscipit recusandae consequuntur expedita et cum\n' +
    'reprehenderit molestiae ut ut quas totam\n' +
    'nostrum rerum est autem sunt rem eveniet architecto'
}
