Introduction to Node.js
1 JavaScript on the Server

Node.js allows us to use JavaScript to build server-side applications, leveraging the same
language for both front-end and back-end development.

2 Event-Driven Architecture

Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model, making it highly efficient and capable
of handling a large number of concurrent requests.

3 Robust Package Ecosystem

Node.js has a vast ecosystem of open-source packages, allowing developers to easily add
functionality to their projects.
Why use Node.js for web
development?
1 Fast and Scalable

Node.js provides high performance, making it ideal for building fast and scalable web
applications.

2 Real-Time Applications

With its event-driven architecture and support for WebSockets, Node.js is perfect for building
real-time applications like chat apps and collaborative tools.

3 Great Developer Experience

Node.js has a strong community and a rich ecosystem of libraries, tools, and frameworks,
making it enjoyable for developers to work with.

pages.
Setting up a small project using
Express.js
Step 1: Install Express.js

Use npm to install the Express.js package globally on your system.

Step 2: Create a New Project

Initialize a new project directory and install Express.js locally.

Step 3: Set Up Routes

Create route handlers for different URLs to handle incoming requests.

Step 4: Start the Server

Launch your Express.js application and start the server to listen for incoming connections.
Handling routes and requests in
Express.js
1 GET Requests

Handle GET requests, retrieve data from the server, and render HTML pages to the client.

2 POST Requests

Handle POST requests, process form data, and perform database operations for data
persistence.

3 Middleware

Create custom middleware functions to intercept requests and execute specific tasks, such
as authentication or logging.
