Node JS

❖​ REPL - It is a feature of Node Js which can be used for experimenting Node Js


code and debug the javascript code
➢​ R - Read : Read user’s input, parses the input into JS data structure, and
store in memory
➢​ E-Eval : Takes and evaluates the data structure
➢​ P-Print : Print the result
➢​ L-Loop : Loops the above command until the user process ctrl+c twice

❖​ Core Modules
➢​ It is a simple or complex functionality organized in single or multiple JS
files which can be reused throughout the Node js application
➢​ Like fs, http, path, util
➢​ To access these module write
const varname = require(“core module name”);
Eg : const fs = require(“fs”);
●​ fs.writeFileSync(‘read.txt’,’Hello Welcome’); -
○​ here we create a file called read and content inside
the file is Hello Welcome. This create a file in our
current folder since the folder doesn’t have the file
before. If file was there we could use its name
instead.
●​ fs.appendFileSync(‘read.txt’, ‘Programing solutions’);
○​ Here if we want to add additional data to the existing
file we can give appendFileSync method.

●​ fs.renameSync(‘read.txt’,’write.txt’);
○​ To change the file name we give renameSync method
inside it we pass the arguments as old file name and
new filename.

●​ const buf_data =
fs.readFileSync(‘write.txt);console.log(buf_data);
○​ readFileSync is used to read the data from the file.
But the output shows in the format of buffer
data.consist of many nos and letters like codes.
○​ So to read the data inside it properly you have to
convert it to string by using the method called
toString();
○​ Eg : console.org(buf_data.toString());

❖​ Node Js CRUD Operations in Synchronous file system with eg:


➢​ C-Create - Here we create a folder named it as dir or something
■​ Create a file inside it named as file.txt and data into it
■​ Eg: const fs =require(‘fs’);
fs.mkdirSync(‘dir’); -Create a folder
fs.writeFileSync(‘dir/file.txt’,’Welcome to Node’);-Create a file and
data inside it

➢​ R-Read - Read the data without getting the buffer data at first
■​ const readData = fs.readFileSync(‘dir/file.txt’);
console.log(readData.toString());
​ ​ Or
const readData = fs.readFileSync(‘dir/file.txt’, ‘utf-8’);
console.log(readData);
➢​ U-Update - Add more data into the file at the ending of the existing data
■​ Also rename the file name to newfile.txt
■​ Eg: fs.appendFileSync(‘dir/file.txt’, ‘ Please subscribe’);
■​ For rename : fs.renameSync(‘dir/file.txt’,’dir/newfile.txt);

➢​ D-Delete - Delete the file and folder using fs method.


■​ fs.unlinkSync(‘dir/newfile.txt);
■​ To delete folder : fs.rmdirSync(‘dir’);

❖​ Node js CRUD Operation in Asynchronous file system with eg:


➢​ Create - fs.writeFile(‘file.txt’,’Welcome’,(error)=>{
console.log(“My file is created”);
console.log(error);
});
■​ Here a call back function is required. Inside that we can either pass
the argument or not. No problem here just passed error argument if
any error comes while creating file , error argument will be
activated,( ithu koduthillelum no problem.)

➢​ Read - fs.readFile(‘file.txt’,’utf-8,(error,data)=>{
console.log(data);
}); - here error and data arguments are required to call back this
function.it is necessary.
➢​ Update - fs.appendFile(‘file.txt’,’ Please help’,()=>{

});
For rename : fs.rename(‘file.txt’, ‘newfile.txt’,()=>{

});
➢​ Delete-fs.unlink(‘newfile.txt’,()=>{

});

❖​ Difference b/w Synchronous and Asynchronous system in Node Js


➢​ In synchronous it takes one execution at a time. After completion of one
execution it goes to next
➢​ But in asynchronous it wont wait for the execution time. All task will be
executed at a time and whichever completed first will be printed first and
then the other and other etc

Features of Express js
❖​ Faster server side development
❖​ Middleware -checking all the conditions
❖​ Routing
❖​ Templating and debugging
