Thanks @AkosLukacs

I was wondering if the esp8266 has to be started on the web IDE or can I save the program on the esp and on plug in it will run the program? Probably a dumb question.. Hopefully someone can explain?

hey mr @davidhay. I am trying your code out and I have replaced the host and wifi info with my own, but for some odd reason i am getting a code-6 message not found

Yes very true, thank you for all your help and advice

I want it to periodically send data to my server... I feel so lost... Okay, so I am running an express server on my computer localhost:3000... I cant figure out how to fetch the data off the esp8266 or like you said, have the esp8266 send the data to my server... I know it is probably so simple to do but I cant put 2 and 2 together for some reason.. I was using a third party library Axios to try to make a call to the esp but can't get that to work. .. Am I on the right path at least? Thanks

const wifi = require("Wifi");

const ssid = "";
const password = "";


wifi.connect(ssid, {password:password}, function(e) {
  if (e) {
    console.log('error during connect:',e);
    wifi.disconnect();
  } else {
    console.log('connected to',ssid);
    require("Wifi").getIP((err, ipinfo) => {console.log(ipinfo)});
    wifi.stopAP();
    //wifi.save();
  }
});



const sensor = require("HC-SR04").connect(NodeMCU.D1,NodeMCU.D2,function(dist) {
      const inches = dist * 0.393701;
      n = inches.toFixed(2);
      console.log(n);

     
setInterval(function() {
        sensor.trigger(); // send pulse
}, 10000);


function postMe() {
  content = "Hello";
  var options = {
    host: 'whatdoIputhereifIamrunningalocalserverwithexpress',
    port: '80',
    path:'/',
    method:'POST',
    headers: {
      "Content-Type":"application/json",
      "Content-Length":content.length
    }
  };
  require("http").request(options, function(res)  {
    // ...
  }).end(content);
}

This is pretty much as far As I've gotten with my code.. I tried to do a test post with no luck so far

Aww okay, yes so i would want it to periodically send data to my server... I feel so lost... Okay, so I am running an express server on my computer localhost:3000... I cant figure out how to fetch the data off the esp8266 or like you said, have the esp8266 send the data to my server...

Am I on the right path at least? Thanks

Awesome, thanks for the response, I guess my next question would be, do I have to setup a server on the esp?

So currently I am in a full stack webdev bootcamp and I need to make a project using the mern stack, mongodb, express, react, nodejs.. I just need guidance on how to structure my esp2866.. I have my sensor hooked up already and its running, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to send that data to my client side. Any info would be amazing! Thanks all
