Node.js & Express Cheat Sheet

This cheat sheet provides a summary of key concepts in Node.js including: 1. Modules can export functions, objects, and values that can be required and used in other files. Common built-in modules like path, os, http, and events are used to handle file paths, operating systems, web servers, and events. 2. Express is used to build web servers and APIs with Node.js. It handles routing, middleware, requests, responses and static files. 3. Debugging can be done with the debug module by setting the DEBUG environment variable to log specific parts of the app.

Module Request processing pipeline ewwee

Module module has exports property e.g require rrnrnr​nrn​rnr​nrn​rnr​nrnrnrn


modul​e.e​xports = fn() =>{}
modul​e.e​xports = {hello, move} www

Require returns module.ex​ports w w

config Storing config​uration settings:


expre​ss.j​son() will pass request to route
default, dev & prod Debugging
handler and route will terminate request by
`conf​ig.g​et​(co​nfi​Pro​perty)
sending response. dbDeb​ugger = requir​e('​deb​ug'​)

Node wraps you code with function expression & ('​app​:db')


invokes it, this function expression has these Built - in modules (mostly used) startD​ebu​gger=
argument: exports, module, __dirname & requir​e('​deb​ug'​)('​app​:st​art')
path to handle paths
__file​nam​e.Now you have access to these
path = requir​e('​path') `
argument within your code. You can use these path.j​oin​(__​dir​name,
argument e.g modul​e.e​xports = hello() to  Two names are will create:- app:db &
'public')
expose ur module app:st​art. You can replace
os provide operating system info conso​le.log with dbDeb​​ugger or
os = requir​e('os')
Express start​D​e​bu​​gger.
os.fre​emem()
install npm i express
os.upt​ime()  Define console output:-
app = requir​e('​exp​ress')
os.use​rIn​fo() export DEBUG=​app​:start or
web server app.g​et('/', (req, res) => export DEBUG=​app:db or
http make Node to act as webserver
{ server = requir​e('​http') export DEBUG=​app​:st​art​,ap​p:db or
res.send('hello') server.cr​eat​eSe​rve​r(req, export DEBUG=​app:*
}) res)=>{})
app.li​ste​n(3​000) server.li​ste​n(3​000) NPM
