Concepts of Node.js
1.Node.js was created in 2009 by Ryan Dahl. A web
developer, after he faced some difficult issues by
developing features with intense input and output flow
using synchronous programming and multi-threaded
server-side platforms.
2.In 2015, The Node.js Foundation was created as a Linux
Foundation project to accelerate the development of the
Node.js platform.

Description
What is Node.js
- Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's
JavaScript runtime for easily building fast and
scalable network applications. Node.js uses an
event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it
lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-
intensive real-time applications that run across
distributed devices.
- Node.js is a side server platform. It is known as
the platform used to build back-end services also
known as API’s (Application Programming
Interfaces).It considered as the services that client
applications.
API’s a software intermediary that allows two applications to talk to
each other. like any other interface, it allows interactions. In the case of
an API, it allows interactions between systems by following a set of
standards and protocols in order to share features, information and
data.

Parts
Parts of Node.js
Console
The console is a module that provides a
method for debugging that is similar to the
basic JavaScript console provided by
internet browsers. It prints messages to
stdout and stderr.
Cluster
A cluster can be added to an application
Node.js is built on the concept of single- in the following way:
threaded programming. Cluster is a
module that allows multi-threading by
creating child processes that shares the
same server port and run simultaneously
Global
Global objects in Node.js are available in
all modules. These objects are
functions, modules, strings, etc. Some
Node.js global objects are mentioned in
the table below:
Global Objects Description
Specifies the name of the directory the contains the code of
_dirname application
Specifies the filename of the code
_filename
A reference type to the module exports, shorter to type
exports
module A reference to the current
require Used to import modules, local files, and also JSON
Error Handling
Node.js application experience four types of errors.
Streaming
Streams are the objects that let you read data or write data
continuously. There are four types of streams:
1. Readable: These are the types of streams from which data can be
read.
2. Writable: These are the types of streams to which data can be written.
3. Duplex: These are both readable and writable streams.
4. Transform: Streams that can manipulate the data while it is being
read or written.
Buffer
Buffer is a module that allows the handling of streams that contain only binary
data. An empty buffer of length '10' can be created by this method:
Domain
The domain module intercepts errors that remain unhandled. Two
methods are used for intercepting these errors:
1. Internal Binding: Error emitter executes its code inside the run
method.
2. External Binding: Error emitter is explicitly added to a domain via it’s
add method.
DNS
DNS module is used to connect to a DNS server and perform name resolution
by using the following method:
DEBUGGER
Node.js includes a debugging utility that can be accessed by a built-in
debugging client. Node.js debugger is not feature-packed but supports the
simple inspection of code. The debugger can be used in the terminal by
using the 'inspect' keyword before the name of the JavaScript file. In order
to inspect a file—myscript.js, for example—you can follow this method:
Node.js can:
Create, open, read, Generate
write, delete, and dynamic page
closes file on the server content
Add, delete, change
Collect form data data in your
database

Environment
Setup
Environment Setup of Node.js
If you are still willing to set up your environment for Node.js, you need the following two
software’s available on your computer, (a) Text Editor and (b) The Node.js binary installable
This will be used to type your program. Examples of few editors include Windows Notepad, OS Edit command,
Brief, Epsilon, EMACS, and vim or vi.
Name and version of text editor can vary on different operating systems. For example, Notepad will be used on
Windows, and vim or vi can be used on windows as well as Linux or UNIX.
The files you create with your editor are called source files and contain program source code. The source files
for Node.js programs are typically named with the extension ".js".
Before starting your programming, make sure you have one text editor in place and you have enough
experience to write a computer program, save it in a file, and finally execute it.
The Node.js
Runtime
The source code written in source file is simply
javascript. The Node.js interpreter will be used
to interpret and execute your javascript code.
Node.js distribution comes as a binary
installable for SunOS , Linux, Mac OS X, and
Windows operating systems with the 32-bit
(386) and 64-bit (amd64) x86 processor
architectures.
Download Node.js Archive
Download latest version of Node.js installable archive file
from Node.js Downloads. At the time of writing this tutorial,
following are the versions available on different OS.
OS Archive Name
Windows node-v6.3.1-x64.msi
Linux node-v6.3.1-linux-x86.tar.gz
Mac node-v6.3.1-Darwin-x86.tar.gz
SunOS node-v6.3.1-x86.tar.gz
Installation on Windows
Use the MSI file and follow the prompts to install
the Node.js. By default, the installer uses the
Node.js distribution in C:\Program Files\nodejs.
The installer should set the C:\Program
Files\nodejs\bin directory in window's PATH
environment variable. Restart any open command
prompts for the change to take effect.
Verify Installation: Executing a File
▪ Create a js file named main.js on your machine (Windows) having the
following code.
/* Hello, World! program in node.js */console.log("Hello, World!")
▪ Now execute main.js file using Node.js interpreter to see the result
$ node main.js
▪ If everything is fine with your installation, this should produce the
following result
Hello, World!

Conclusion
Conclusion
Node.js is a very powerful JavaScript-based framework/platform built on
Google Chrome's JavaScript V8 Engine. It is used to develop I/O intensive web
applications like video streaming sites, single-page applications, and other
web applications. Node.js is open source, completely free, and used by
thousands of developers around the world.
One of the primary factors behind Node.js’ popularity among developers is its
support for thousands of open-source libraries, a large majority of which are
hosted on the npm website.
Node.js was built at the right place and time. It introduced a lot of
approaches for JavaScript server-side development and innovative
thinking that has helped many developers.
