    NodeJS – Create a server

     Require the “http” module.


     Use the method “createServer” and a port to listen on.
    var http = require('http’);
    var fs = require('fs’);
    var url = require('url’);
    // Create a server
    http.createServer( function (request, response) {
    // webserver logic
    }).listen(8081);
    NodeJS – Create a server

     Now add some processing and logic


     Every webpage/request needs an HTTP status code, a server
    needs to respond with this code so that the client/recipient knows
    the status of the request.

     writeHead function takes the first parameter as the status code


    and a second parameter as a JSON array for the MIME types.

     Example:
     response.writeHead(404, {'Content-Type': 'text/html’});
    NodeJS – Create a server

     To write any data the “write” function is used from


    the response object.
    Example:
    response.write(“Error: Could not find the file.”);

    To send the response you use the “end” function.


    Example:
    response.end();

    NodeJS – Express Framework

     Middleware for HTTP requests


     Routing table
     Dynamic rendering and templates
    NodeJS – Express Framework

     In order for Express to work you need to install it alongside some


    other modules.
     npm install express --save
     npm install body-parser --save
     npm install cookie-parser --save
     npm install multer --save

    body-parser − This is a node.js middleware for handling JSON, Raw, Text and URL encoded form data.
    cookie-parser − Parse Cookie header and populate req.cookies with an object keyed by the cookie names.
    multer − This is a node.js middleware for handling multipart/form-data.
    NodeJS – Express Framework

     Express is a module, so in order to use it you need to


    require it and initialize and create an object:
    var express = require('express');
    var app = express();
    You will use the variable app for any express related
    functions/logic

    NodeJS – Express Static Files

     What happens if you want to serve JS, CSS, Images in Express?


     Express comes with this feature where you specify the folder
    for the static content that you want served.
     The “use” function of express is used to load other supported
    modules/libraries into express.

     Example of serving static files:


    app.use(express.static('public’)); // where “public” is a folder with
    content inside

     Example of serving a file:

    Management

     For this you would need to require “cookie-parser”
