Code Review
This pull request introduces a simple Express server for an activity feed API. The code is a good starting point, but I have identified several areas for improvement related to security, configuration, and robustness. My suggestions include adding the helmet middleware for security, using environment variables for port configuration, implementing error handling in the API endpoint, and adding a final newline to the file, which is a common convention. Applying these changes will result in a more secure, configurable, and resilient server.

There are a couple of improvements that can be made to the initial server setup:
- Security: It's highly recommended to use middleware like
helmet. It sets various security-related HTTP headers that can protect your application from common web vulnerabilities. You'll need to addhelmetas a dependency (npm install helmet). - Configuration: The port is hardcoded. It's a best practice to use environment variables for configuration like port numbers. This provides flexibility for deployment across different environments (development, production, etc.).
const express = require('express');
const helmet = require('helmet');
const app = express();
app.use(helmet());
const port = process.env.PORT || 3000;| app.get('/feed', (req, res) => { | ||
| res.json(activityFeed); | ||
| }); |

The route handler currently lacks error handling. While the current implementation is simple, it's a good practice to wrap the logic in a try...catch block. This makes the API more robust and will prevent the server from crashing due to unhandled exceptions as the logic grows more complex (e.g., fetching data from a database).
app.get('/feed', (req, res) => {
try {
res.json(activityFeed);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error fetching activity feed:', error);
res.status(500).json({ message: 'Internal Server Error' });
}
});|

It's a common convention and best practice to end files with a newline character. Many tools and editors expect this, and it can help prevent issues with file concatenation and diffs.
