Issue In Form Endpoints Section

[Sam-Varghese]

Hello sir, firstly thankyou so much for Deta

I am a newbie to Deta, and thought to start with Form Endpoints. I executed all the commands successfully till npm install express, but got an error while executing deta new command. Here are the commands that I executed sequentially:

mkdir express-form
cd express-form
npm install express
deta new

But got the following message while trying to execute deta new command

No entrypoint file found in 'D:\VS Code Workspace\Rough Space\express-form'. Please, provide a name or path to create a new micro elsewhere. See deta new --help.'

Let me also attach screenshots so that you could understand my issue better

I know I might be making some silly mistake or something, but can't understand why even though I am following all the steps you mentioned sequentially, I am not getting the desired output.

In case you require information of my system, then here is it:

@Sam-Varghese You need to create an index.js file first (step 2). Please read the docs very carefully :)

Oh nooooooooo 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️Very sorry to disturb you. My mistake. I am terrible at reading docs. ThankYou very much for helping. Can't tell for how long I was stuck on this issue, and in the end gathered the courage to raise an issue.
