Description

### Describe the bug

I just follow the tutorial to creating an express application with loopback REST API in codebox.

after follow the tutorial to create an application use `lb4 app Note`,add Note model, add a datasource, there is no mistake.

However in the part Create a Facade Express Application(https://loopback.io/doc/en/lb4/express-with-lb4-rest-tutorial.html#create-a-facade-express-application)

the code block invoked error and the mistake message as follow:

### 1. the import path that invoked error
```js
import {ApplicationConfig, NoteApplication} from './application';
```
### mistake massage
```js
the application can't found the module
```
### 2. can't find http.ts
```
export class ExpressServer {

public server?: http.Server;

constructor() {}
}
```
