Hello jawad,
could you please have a look in the readme --- there is not sidebar-integrated item/info. The hello World is printed in the log-book info.

All this example does is print out "Hello World" to the diagnostic logbook. This should happen automatically upon installation. See the associated README.md.

Ok. now if i have nodejs based application, how i can run it on ctrlx works. 

for example i have following routes in my nodejs app, 

app.get('/items', (req, res) => {
       res.send('Hello, Express!')
});

how i can run or test this routes ?

Jawad, 

You have to create a snap and then implement your nodeJS snapp. 😃, You have to dump your code inside the app with the dump Plugin 
and then modify the HELLOWORD to run "node yourapp.js"

so basically: 

- have the app the works locally

- include in the app the nodejs binaries (already done in helloword)

- modify the app to start your code at boot.

This is my structure:

the code folder:

the wrapper 

my app with the code imported: 

I am planning to make an how-to out of this but there will be no more informaitons than what is written here.

ok. how I can run my snap app on CtrlX works virtual core after installation. 
let say I have this route written in my code 

app.get('/items', (req, res) => {

    const items = ['Item 1', 'Item 2', 'Item 3'];

    res.json(items);

});


How I can test it?

Thanks @Mauro

I achevied this simply by accessing ip address defined in virtual ctrlx, port and routes defined in code.
