Module Express (cont) Built - in modules (mostly used) (cont)

Module module has exports property e.g modulmiddlewares events

app.use(body-parser.json()) to handle events
e.ex​ports = fn() =>{} module. parse body of req into json:- EventE​mitter = requir​e('​event
ex​ports = {hello, move} app.us​e(e​xpr​ess.js​on()) emitter = new EventE​mit​ter()

Require returns module.ex​ports serves static files:- emitter.on(eventName, listener)

app.use(express.static(path emitte​r.e​mit​(ev​ent​Nam​e,[​ar
config Storing config​uration settings:
.join(__dirname,'public')))
file to handle file system
default, dev & prod
route handle is a middle​ware.
`confi​g.g​et(​con​fiP​rop​ert system fs = requir​e('fs')
y) reques​t-p​roc​ess​ing​-pi​peline: Req - fs.rea​dfi​le(​path, callback)
fs.cop​yFi​le(​sou​rce.tx​t,d​es
Node wraps you code with function
Request processing pipeline lback)
expression & invokes it, this function
expression has these argument: exports, set enviro​nment vars: export PORT = 3
module, __dirname & __filename.N 000
ow you have access to these argument
within your code. You can use these ewwee
argument e.g module.ex​ports = hell require rrnrnr​nrn​rnr​nrn​rnr​nrnrnrn
expres​s.j​son() will pass request to
o() to expose ur module
route handler and route will terminate
www
request by sending response.

path to handle paths
web server app.ge​t('/', (req, res) => path = requir​e('​path') dbDebugger = requir​e('​deb​ug'​)('​app​

route params req.params os.upt​ime()  Two names are will create:- app:db &
query params req.query os.use​rInfo() app:start. You can replace consol​e.l
http make Node to act as webserver og with dbDeb​​ugger or startD​​eb​u

server.li​ste​n(3000) export DEBUG=​app​:start or

process Node process info - global object export DEBUG=​app:db or

port = proces​s.e​nv.PORT || export
3000 DEBUG=​app​:st​art​,app:db
or

export DEBUG=​app:*
