Node.js Tutorial

Node.js is a powerful JavaScript runtime environment, built on Google Chrome's V8 JavaScript Engine. Node.js is open-source and cross platform.

What is Node.js?

Node.js is not a programming language like Python, Java or C/C++. Node.js is a runtime, similar to Java virtual machine, that converts JavaScript code into machine code. It is , widely used by thousands of developers around the world to develop I/O intensive web applications like video streaming sites, single-page applications, and other web applications.

With Node.js, it is possible to use JavaScript as a backend. With JavaScript already being a popular choice for frontend development, application development around MERN (MongoDB, Express, React and Node.js.) and MEAN (MongoDB, Express, Angular and Node.js) stacks is being increasingly employed by developers.

Why Learn Node.js?

Node.js can be used to full fill multiple purpose like server-side programming, build APIs, etc.

• Node.js is used for server-side programming with JavaScript. Hence, you can use a single programming language (JavaScript) for both front-end and back-end development.
• Node.js implements asynchronous execution of tasks in a single thread with async and await technique. This makes Node.js application significantly faster than multi-threaded applications.
• Node.js is being used to build command line applications, web applications, real-time chat applications, REST APIs etc.

How to Install Node.js?

Different operating systems required different steps to install Node.js, please follow the provided methods according to your installed operating system.

• Node.js Installation on Windows
• Node.js Installation on Linux - Ubuntu

Applications of Node.js

Node.js is used for building different type of applications. Some of the application types are listed below.

• Streaming applications: Node.js can easily handle real-time data streams, where it is required to download resources on-demand without overloading the server or the users local machine. Node.js can also provide quick data synchronization between the server and the client, which improves user experience by minimizing delays using the Node.js event loop.
• Single page apps: Node.js is an excellent choice for SPAs because of its capability to efficiently handle asynchronous calls and heavy input/output(I/O) workloads. Data driven SPAs built with Express.js are fast, efficient and robust.
• Realtime applications: Node.js is ideal for building lightweight real-time applications, like messaging apps interfaces, chatbot etc. Node.js has an event- based architecture, as a result has an excellent WebSocket support. It facilitates real-time two-way communication between the server and the client.
• APIs: At the heart of Node.js is JavaScript. Hence, it becomes handling JSON data is easier. You can therefore build REST based APIs with Node.js.

These are some of the use cases of Node.js. However, its usage is not restricted to these types. Companies are increasingly employing Node.js for variety of applications.

Example of Node.js Application

To create a basic Hello World application in Node.js, save the following single line JavaScript as hello.js file.

console.log("Hello World");

Open a powershell (or command prompt) terminal in the folder in which hello.js file is present, and enter the following command. The "Hello World" message is displayed in the terminal.

PS D:\nodejs> node hello.js
Hello World

To create a "Hello, World!" web application using Node.js, save the following code as hello.js:

http = require('node:http');
listener = function (request, response) {
 // Send the HTTP header
 // HTTP Status: 200 : OK
 // Content Type: text/html
 response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'});

 // Send the response body as "Hello World"
 response.end('<h2 style="text-align: center;">Hello World</h2>');
};

server = http.createServer(listener);
server.listen(3000);

// Console will print the message
console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:3000/');

Run the above script from command line.

C:\nodejs> node hello.js
Server running at http://127.0.0.1:3000/

The program starts the Node.js server on the localhost, and goes in the listen mode at port 3000. Now open a browser, and enter http://127.0.0.1:3000/ as the URL. The browser displays the Hello World message as desired.
