Recent grad revisiting a 2021 plain JS app project. Issues running front end server with Webpack [closed]

I graduated a couple weeks ago with a Certificate in Full Stack Development. Post graduation, we’re instructed to revisit and revise older projects. One of which, I accidentally deleted package.json files as well as all node.js files. Don’t ask me how. Ashamed to say if a recruiter asked me to demonstrate booting up a vanilla JS server app, I’d be in trouble. If he/she asked me about file source control with Github, I’d be in deep trouble as well. Most commits have disappeared. Unfortunately, these topics were briefly mentioned within the course curriculum and now I’m having to go back and research. I suppose Ive been so accustomed to react and rails setup that I forgot how to start up a plain server without either frameworks. With each Youtube tutorial and package.json configuration, I grow more confused as to how to get things back up and running. To be more specific, it seems my updated webpack configurations do not permit me to render code to the browser from localhost8080. The console error says GET http://localhost:8080/ 404 (Not Found) I do not know where to begin to resolve this issue. Still lost after hours of tutorial videos. Any help is gladly appreciated.
