Node.js Development

JavaScript Everywhere - Frontend to Backend

Bring JavaScript to the server side! Build powerful APIs, real-time applications, and scalable backend systems with the runtime that powers modern web development.

๐ŸŸข Server-Side JavaScript๐Ÿš€ High Performance๐ŸŒ Massive Ecosystemโšก Real-time Capable

๐Ÿง  Server Concepts Made Simple

Understand backend development through everyday analogies

๐Ÿญ

Node.js Runtime

๐Ÿญ JavaScript Factory

Node.js takes JavaScript (usually for websites) and lets it run on servers, like moving a toy factory to make real products.

๐Ÿ‘ถ For Kids: JavaScript can now work outside the browser - like taking your favorite game and playing it anywhere!

๐Ÿช

Server

๐Ÿช Digital Store

A server is like a store that never closes, always ready to serve customers (users) whatever they need.

๐Ÿ‘ถ For Kids: Like having a robot shopkeeper that works 24/7 and never gets tired!

๐Ÿ“ž

API (Application Programming Interface)

๐Ÿ“ž Restaurant Menu & Waiter

An API is like a menu that shows what the kitchen (server) can make, and a waiter who takes your order.

๐Ÿ‘ถ For Kids: Like having a magic menu where you point at pictures and food appears!

๐Ÿ“š

Database

๐Ÿ“š Smart Library

A database is like a super-organized library that can instantly find any book (data) you need.

๐Ÿ‘ถ For Kids: Like a magical library where books fly to you when you think of what you want to read!

๐Ÿ’ป Node.js Code in Action

See real Node.js code that powers modern applications

Your First Node.js Server

// Simple HTTP Server
const http = require('http');

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/html' });
  res.end('<h1>Hello from Node.js! ๐Ÿš€</h1>');
});

const PORT = 3000;
server.listen(PORT, () => {
  console.log(`๐ŸŒŸ Server running at http://localhost:${PORT}`);
});

// Run with: node server.js

Express API with Routes

const express = require('express');
const app = express();

// Middleware to parse JSON
app.use(express.json());

// Sample data
let users = [
  { id: 1, name: 'Alice', age: 25 },
  { id: 2, name: 'Bob', age: 30 }
];

// GET all users
app.get('/api/users', (req, res) => {
  res.json(users);
});

// GET user by ID
app.get('/api/users/:id', (req, res) => {
  const user = users.find(u => u.id === parseInt(req.params.id));
  if (!user) {
    return res.status(404).json({ message: 'User not found' });
  }
  res.json(user);
});

// POST new user
app.post('/api/users', (req, res) => {
  const newUser = {
    id: users.length + 1,
    name: req.body.name,
    age: req.body.age
  };
  users.push(newUser);
  res.status(201).json(newUser);
});

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('๐Ÿš€ API server running on port 3000');
});

File Operations & Modules

// fileManager.js - Custom Module
const fs = require('fs').promises;
const path = require('path');

class FileManager {
  constructor(baseDir = './data') {
    this.baseDir = baseDir;
    this.ensureDirectoryExists();
  }

  async ensureDirectoryExists() {
    try {
      await fs.access(this.baseDir);
    } catch {
      await fs.mkdir(this.baseDir, { recursive: true });
      console.log(`๐Ÿ“ Created directory: ${this.baseDir}`);
    }
  }

  async saveData(filename, data) {
    const filePath = path.join(this.baseDir, filename);
    await fs.writeFile(filePath, JSON.stringify(data, null, 2));
    console.log(`๐Ÿ’พ Saved data to ${filename}`);
  }

  async loadData(filename) {
    try {
      const filePath = path.join(this.baseDir, filename);
      const data = await fs.readFile(filePath, 'utf8');
      return JSON.parse(data);
    } catch (error) {
      console.log(`โŒ Error loading ${filename}:`, error.message);
      return null;
    }
  }

  async deleteFile(filename) {
    try {
      const filePath = path.join(this.baseDir, filename);
      await fs.unlink(filePath);
      console.log(`๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ Deleted ${filename}`);
    } catch (error) {
      console.log(`โŒ Error deleting ${filename}:`, error.message);
    }
  }
}

// Usage
const fileManager = new FileManager();

// Save some data
fileManager.saveData('users.json', [
  { name: 'Alice', email: 'alice@example.com' },
  { name: 'Bob', email: 'bob@example.com' }
]);

// Load and display data
fileManager.loadData('users.json')
  .then(data => console.log('๐Ÿ“– Loaded users:', data));

module.exports = FileManager;
