Creating HTTP server using Node js

const http = require('http'); // Import the HTTP module

// Create a server object

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {

res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain' }); // Set response header

res.end('Hello, World!\n'); // Send response and end the request

});

// Start the server and listen on port 3000

server.listen(3000, () => {

console.log('Server running at http://localhost:3000/');

});

File system
// Importing the http and fs module

const http = require("http")

const fs = require("fs")

// Creating server

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {

const log = ${Date.now()}: new req received\n;

fs.appendFile("log.txt",log,(err,data) => {

res.end("hello from server agin");

});

});

// Server listening to port 3008

server.listen((3008), () => {

console.log("Server is Running");

})

Reading and Writing to a File

This program reads the content of a file and writes a new file with modified content.

const fs = require('fs'); // Import the File System module


// Read the content of 'input.txt'

fs.readFile('input.txt', 'utf-8', (err, data) => {

if (err) {

console.error('Error reading file:', err);

return;

console.log('File content:', data);

// Write the content to 'output.txt' with additional text

const newData = `${data}\nThis is the appended text.`;

fs.writeFile('output.txt', newData, (err) => {

if (err) {

console.error('Error writing file:', err);

} else {

console.log('File has been written to output.txt');

});

});

Program 3: Basic Express Server with Routing

This program uses Express to set up a server with multiple routes.

const express = require('express'); // Import Express module

const app = express(); // Create an Express application

const PORT = 3000; // Define the port

// Home route

app.get('/', (req, res) => {

res.send('Welcome to the Home Page!');

});
// About route

app.get('/about', (req, res) => {

res.send('This is the About Page.');

});

// Contact route

app.get('/contact', (req, res) => {

res.send('This is the Contact Page.');

});

// Start the server

app.listen(PORT, () => {

console.log(`Server is running at http://localhost:${PORT}`);

});

URL Module Example

var url = require('url');

var http = require('http');

http.createServer((req, res) {

res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'});

//Return the url part of the request object:

res.write(req.url);

res.end();

}).listen(3000);

Example of Express Application

const express = require('express');

const path = require('path');

const app = express();


const PORT = 3000;

// Serve static files from the 'public' folder

app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));

// Route for the homepage

app.get('/', (req, res) => {

res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, 'public', 'index.html'));

});

// Start the server

app.listen(PORT, () => {

console.log(`Server is running at http://localhost:${PORT}`);

});
