Good all in all tutorial
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqDuhvDFc7A
• Using NetBeans and Express framework
Node.js Built-in Modules
• To include a module, use the require() function with the name of the
module.

• Example
• var http = require('http');
Create Your Own Modules
• Create a module that returns the current date and time
• exports.myDateTime = function () {
return Date();
};

myfirstmodule.js

Tutorial: How to Create Your Own Web Server

NetBeans Project
Creating the Server
1. Importing the required modules
• var http = require('http');
2. Specifying the server settings
• var hostname = '127.0.0.1';
• var port = 3000;
3. Creating the Server
• var server = http.createServer(function (request, response) {
displayWelcomePage(response);});
4. Writing a response/HTML back
5. Start your server
Creating the Server
4. Writing a Response Back

function displayWelcomePage(response)
{
console.log('connection established. Loading the login form....');
response.write('Welcome, this is you first Node.js connection');
response.end();
}
Creating the Server
5. Start your server

server.listen( port, hostname);


console.log('Server running at http://'+hostname+':'+port+'/');
Adding/Using Your Own Module

Myfirstmodule.js

Wherever you want to use:

md.myDateTime()
Organise your code better
var server = http.createServer( function (request, response) {
if (request.method.toLowerCase() == 'get'){
displayForm(response);
}
else if (request.method.toLowerCase() == 'post') {
console.log('post method called');
response.write('Done');
response.end();
}
}
);
Node.js and HTML Response
• Writing html back
• var fs = require('fs');
• Dealing with forms
• var formidable = require("formidable");
• var util = require('util');
