# Express
Express is the default and recommended Angular SSR platform.
To get started, provide the response token in your common engine render:
`server.ts`
```ts
import { provideDaffSsrExpressResponse } from '@daffodil/ssr/express'
// the rest of the file from https://angular.dev/guide/ssr#configure-server-side-rendering is omitted
server.get('*', (req, res, next) => {
const {protocol, originalUrl, baseUrl, headers} = req;
commonEngine
.render({
bootstrap,
documentFilePath: indexHtml,
url: `${protocol}://${headers.host}${originalUrl}`,
publicPath: browserDistFolder,
providers: [
{provide: APP_BASE_HREF, useValue: req.baseUrl},
provideDaffSsrExpressResponse(res),
],
})
.then((html) => res.send(html))
.catch((err) => next(err));
});
```
