NODEJS BASICS
• Node.Js is an open-source runtime environment for javascript. It is built
on chrome’s V8 javascript engine. Node.Js can run on different platforms
 linux,
 windows
 macos, and
 mobile platforms
• It is agnostic of the underlying OS. It allows programs written in javascrip
to be executed on the server. Node.Js is also a part of the famous MEAN
and MERN stack.
• And according to stackoverflow’s developer survey, node.Js is the 6th
most popular technology among programmers.Besides the javascript
knowledge, understanding of databases, familiarity with html5, css3, and
restful api will be greatly advantageous while working with node.Js.

• The primary advantage of using node.js is that you can use javascript
in both frontend and backend. And it’s easier to keep them in sync
because a single language is used on both sides of applications.
• Due to its event-based nature, Node.js is highly efficient for real-time
applications that demand continual data updates. Moreover, the non-
blocking input-output model helps to solve the performance issues.
• Node.js is widely used to make scalable and lightweight web
applications.
• Node.js is renowned for its massive community which continuously
contributes to its improvement.
• Due to node modules, it became easier for developers to use prebuild
modules and reuse code.

FEATURES OF NODE.JS
1.Extremely fast: Node.js is built on Google Chrome's V8 JavaScript Engine, so its
library is very fast in code execution.
2.I/O is Asynchronous and Event Driven: All APIs of Node.js library are
asynchronous i.e. non-blocking. So a Node.js based server never waits for an API
to return data. The server moves to the next API after calling it and a notification
mechanism of Events of Node.js helps the server to get a response from the
previous API call. It is also a reason that it is very fast.
3.Single threaded: Node.js follows a single threaded model with event looping.
4.Highly Scalable: Node.js is highly scalable because event mechanism helps the
server to respond in a non-blocking way.
5.No buffering: Node.js cuts down the overall processing time while uploading
audio and video files. Node.js applications never buffer any data. These
applications simply output the data in chunks.
6.Open source: Node.js has an open source community which has produced many
excellent modules to add additional capabilities to Node.js applications.

• The webserver can run directly on the Node.js platform as a Node.js module, which means
it’s much easier than using, say, Apache for wiring up new services or server-side scripts.
• The following are just a few reasons Node.js is a great framework:
• JavaScript end-to-end: One of the biggest advantages of Node.js is that it allows you
to write both server- and client-side scripts in JavaScript. There have always been
difficulties in deciding whether to put logic in client-side scripts or server-side scripts.
With Node.js you can take JavaScript written on the client and easily adapt it for the server
and vice versa. An added plus is that client developers and server developers are speaking
the same language.
• Event-driven scalability: Node.js applies a unique logic to handling web requests.
Rather than having multiple threads waiting to process web requests, with Node.js they are
processed on the same thread, using a basic event model. This allows Node.js webservers
to scale in ways that traditional webservers can’t.
• Extensibility: Node.js has a great following and very active development community.
People are providing new modules to extend Node.js functionality all the time. Also, it is
very simple to install and include new modules in Node.js; you can extend a Node.js
project to include new functionality in minutes.
• Fast implementation: Setting up Node.js and developing in it are super easy. In only a
few minutes you can install Node.js and have a working webserver.

NODE.JS-TO-ANGULARJS
STACK COMPONENTS
• In the Node.js-to-AngularJS stack, Node.js provides the fundamental platform for
development. The backend services and server-side scripts are all written in Node.js.
• MongoDB provides the data store for the website but is accessed via a MongoDB driver
Node.js module. The webserver is defined by Express, which is also a Node.js module.
• The view in the browser is defined and controlled using the AngularJS framework.
AngularJS is an MVC framework in which the model is made up of JSON or JavaScript
objects, the view is HTML/CSS, and the controller is AngularJS JavaScript code.
• It provides a very basic diagram of how the Node.js to AngularJS stack fits into the basic
website/web application model.
• The following sections describe each of these technologies and why they were chosen as
part of the Node.js to AngularJS stack. Later chapters in the book will cover each of the
technologies in much more detail.

• Basic diagram showing where Node.js,
Express, MongoDB, and AngularJS fit in the
web paradigm.

NODE.JS
• Node.js is a development framework that is based on Google’s V8 JavaScript engine and executes it.server-side code in
Node.js, including the webserver and the server-side scripts and any supporting web application functionality. The fact
that the webserver and the supporting web application scripts are running together in the same server-side application
allows for much tighter integration between the webserver and the scripts. Also, the webserver can run directly on the
Node.js platform as a Node.js module, which means it’s much easier than using, say, Apache for wiring up new services
or server-side scripts.
• The following are just a few reasons Node.js is a great framework:
1. JavaScript end-to-end: One of the biggest advantages of Node.js is that it allows you to write both server- and client-
side scripts in JavaScript. There have always been difficulties in deciding whether to put logic in client-side scripts or
server-side scripts. With Node.js you can take JavaScript written on the client and easily adapt it for the server and
vice versa. An added plus is that client developers and server developers are speaking the same language.
2. Event-driven scalability: Node.js applies a unique logic to handling web requests. Rather than having multiple threads
waiting to process web requests, with Node.js they are processed on the same thread, using a basic event model. This
allows Node.js webservers to scale in ways that traditional webservers can’t.
• • Extensibility: Node.js has a great following and very active development community. People are providing
new modules to extend Node.js functionality all the time. Also, it is very simple to install Aand include new modules in
Node.js; you can extend a Node.js project to include new functionality in minutes.
• • Fast implementation: Setting up Node.js and developing in it are super easy. In only a few minutes you can
install Node.js and have a working webserver.

EXPRESS
• The Express module acts as the webserver in the Node.js-to-AngularJS stack. Because it
runs in Node.js, it is easy to configure, implement, and control. The Express module
extends Node.js to provide several key components for handling web requests. It allows
you to implement a running webserver in Node.js with only a few lines of code.
• For example, the Express module provides the ability to easily set up destination routes
(URLs) for users to connect to. It also provides great functionality in terms of working
with HTTP request and response objects, including things like cookies and HTTP
headers.
• The following is a partial list of the valuable features of Express:
• Route management: Express makes it easy to define routes (URL endpoints) that tie
directly to the Node.js script functionality on the server.
• Error handling: Express provides built-in error handling for “document not found” and
other errors.
• Easy integration: An Express server can easily be implemented behind an existing
reverse proxy system, such as Nginx or Varnish. This allows you to easily integrate it
into your existing secured system.
• Cookies: Express provides easy cookie management.
• Session and cache management: Express also enables session management and cache

MONGODB
• MongoDB provides great website backend storage for high-traffic websites
that need to store data such as user comments, blogs, or other items because it
is quickly scalable and easy to implement. This book covers using the
MongoDB driver library to access MongoDB from Node.js.Node.js supports
a variety of database access drivers, so the data store can easily be MySQL or
some other database. However, the following are some of the reasons that
MongoDB really fits in the Node.js stack well:
• Document orientation: Because MongoDB is document oriented, data is
stored in the database in a format that is very close to what you deal with in
both server-side and client-side scripts. This eliminates the need to transfer
data from rows to objects and back.
• High performance: MongoDB is one of the highest-performing databases
available. Especially today, with more and more people interacting with
websites, it is important to have a backend that can support heavy traffic.
• High availability: MongoDB’s replication model makes it very easy to
maintain scalability while keeping high performance.
• High scalability: MongoDB’s structure makes it easy to scale horizontally by

ANGULARJS
• AngularJS is a client-side framework developed by Google. It provides all
the functionality needed to handle user input in the browser, manipulate data
on the client side, and control how elements are displayed in the browser
view. It is written in JavaScript, with a reduced jQuery library. The theory
behind AngularJS is to provide a framework that makes it easy to implement
web applications using the MVC framework.
• Other JavaScript frameworks could be used with the Node.js platform, such
as Backbone, Ember, and Meteor. However, AngularJS has the best design,
feature set, and trajectory at this writing. Here are some of the benefits
AngularJS provides:

• Data binding: AngularJS has a very clean method for binding data to
HTML elements, using its powerful scope mechanism.
• Extensibility: The AngularJS architecture allows you to easily
extend almost every aspect of the language to provide your own
custom implementations.
• Clean: AngularJS forces you to write clean, logical code.
• Reusable code: The combination of extensibility and clean code
makes it very easy to write reusable code in AngularJS. In fact, the
language often forces you to do so when creating custom services.
• Support: Google is investing a lot into this project, which gives it an
advantage over similar initiatives that have failed.
• Compatibility: AngularJS is based on JavaScript and has a close
relationship with jQuery. This makes it easier to begin integrating
AngularJS into your environment and reuse pieces of your existing
code within the structure of the AngularJS framework.

HOW DOES THE MEAN STACK
WORKS?
• The architecture of the MEAN stack can be divided into three parts: the front end, the
back end, and the database. The front end is built using Angular, and the back end is
built using Node.js and Express.js. Whereas the data for a MEAN stack application is
stored in MongoDB, which is a NoSQL database. This architecture provides a powerful
and flexible platform for building modern web applications that are both scalable and
maintainable.
Beneifits of MEAN Stack
• Full-stack development: The MEAN stack provides a full-stack solution for web
development, which means that developers can build both the front-end and back-end of
an application using a single technology stack.
• JavaScript-based: The entire MEAN stack is built using JavaScript, which makes it
easy to use a single language throughout the development lifecycle.
• Scalability: The MEAN stack is highly scalable, thanks to the scalability of Node.js
and the flexibility of MongoDB.
• Flexibility: MongoDB's flexible data model and Express.js's middleware architecture
provide a lot of flexibility in designing and building web applications.

MERN STACK
• Generally a modified version of the MEAN stack, which utilizes React.js in the place of Angular.js. It
also includes a JavaScript stack that can be used for efficient and fast development of software
tools.
• MERN stack utilizes the JSX, an updated version of JavaScript that allows unified component work
that developers like the most. It uses React to make the front-end web apps, counted in trendy
Libraries utilized to make high-end apps with cooperative User Interfaces.

WHAT IS THE MERN STACK?
• MERN stands for MongoDB, Express, React, Node, after the
four key technologies that make up the stack.
• MongoDB — document database
• Express(.js) — Node.js web framework
• React(.js) — a client-side JavaScript framework
• Node(.js) — the premier JavaScript web server
• Express and Node make up the middle (application) tier.
Express.js is a server-side web framework, and Node.js is the
popular and powerful JavaScript server platform. Regardless of
which variant you choose, ME(RVA)N is the ideal approach to
working with JavaScript and JSON, all the way through.

Installing Node On Windows (WINDOWS 10):
• You have to follow the following steps to install the Node.js on your
Windows :
• Step-1: Downloading the Node.js ‘.msi’ installer.
• The first step to install Node.js on windows is to download the
installer. Visit the official Node.js website
i.e) https://nodejs.org/en/download/ and download the .msi file
according to your system environment (32-bit & 64-bit). An MSI
installer will be downloaded on your system.

• Step-2: Running the Node.js installer.
• Now you need to install the node.js installer on your PC. You need
to follow the following steps for the Node.js to be installed:-
• Double click on the .msi installer.
The Node.js Setup wizard will open.
• Welcome To Node.js Setup Wizard.
Select “Next”

• After clicking “Next”, End-User License Agreement (EULA) will
open.
Check “I accept the terms in the License Agreement”
Select “Next”

• Destination Folder
Set the Destination Folder where you want to install Node.js &
Select “Next”

• Custom Setup
Select “Next”

NOTE :
• A prompt saying – “This step requires administrative privileges”
will appear.
• Authenticate the prompt as an “Administrator”
• Installing Node.js.Do not close or cancel the installer until the
install is complete
• Complete the Node.js Setup Wizard.
Click “Finish”

• Step 3: Verify that Node.js was properly installed or not.
• To check that node.js was completely installed on your system or
not, you can run the following command in your command prompt
or Windows Powershell and test it:-
• C:UsersAdmin> node -v

Step 4: Updating the Local npm version.
• The final step in node.js installed is the updation of your local npm version(if
required) – the package manager that comes bundled with Node.js.
• You can run the following command, to quickly update the npm
• npm install npm –global // Updates the ‘CLI’ client
NOTE :
• You do not need to do anything to the system variables as the windows
installer takes care of the system variables itself while installing through the
.msi installer
• If you use any other format for installing node.js on your PC, you should put
the system variable path for node.js as follows:
• PATH : C:Users[username]AppDataRoamingnpm
C:Program Filesnodejs (Path to the nodejs folder)

CREATION
• Before creating an actual "Hello, World!" application using
Node.js, let us see the components of a Node.js application. A
Node.js application consists of the following three important
components −
• Import required modules − We use the require directive to load
Node.js modules.
• Create server − A server which will listen to client's requests
similar to Apache HTTP Server.
• Read request and return response − The server created in an
earlier step will read the HTTP request made by the client which
can be a browser or a console and return the response.

Step 1 - Import Required Module
• We use the require directive to load the http module and store the
returned HTTP instance into an http variable as follows −
• var http = require("http");
Step 2 - Create Server
• We use the created http instance and
call http.createServer() method to create a server instance and
then we bind it at port 8081 using the listen method associated
with the server instance.
• Pass it a function with parameters request and response. Write
the sample implementation to always return "Hello World".

http.createServer(function (request, response)
{
// Send the HTTP header
// HTTP Status: 200 : OK
// Content Type: text/plain response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type':
'text/plain'});
// Send the response body as "Hello World" response.end('Hello
Worldn'); }).listen(8081);
// Console will print the message console.log('Server running at
http://127.0.0.1:8081/');

• Step 3 - Testing Request & Response
• Let's put step 1 and 2 together in a file called main.js and start
our HTTP server as shown below −
var http = require("http"); http.createServer(function (request,
response) {
// Send the HTTP header
// HTTP Status: 200 : OK
// Content Type: text/plain response.writeHead(200, {'Content-
Type': 'text/plain'});
// Send the response body as "Hello World" response.end('Hello
Worldn'); }).listen(8081);
// Console will print the message
console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8081/');

• Now execute the main.js to start the server as follows −
• $ node main.jsVerify the Output. Server has started.
• Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8081/

WRITING DATA TO THE CONSOLE
•One of the most useful modules in Node.js during the development
process is the console module.
•This module provides a lot of functionality when writing debug and
information statements to the console.
•The console module allows you to control output to the console,
implement time delta output, and write tracebacks and assertions to the
console.
•Because the console module is so widely used, you do not need to load
it into your modules using a require() statement. You simply call the
console function using console.<function> (<parameters>).

Function Description
log([data],[...]) Writes data output to the console. The data variable
can be a string or an object that can be resolved to a
string. Additional parameters can also be sent. For
example:
console.log("There are %d items", 5); >>There are 5
items
info([data],[...]) Same as console.log.
error([data],[...]) Same as console.log; however, the output is also sent
to stderr.
warn([data],[...]) Same as console.error.
dir(obj) Writes out a string representation of a JavaScript
object to the console. For example:
console.dir({name:"Brad", role:"Author"}); >> { name:
'Brad', role: 'Author' }
time(label) Assigns a current timestamp with ms precision to the
string label.

timeEnd(label) Creates a delta between the current time and the
timestamp assigned to label and outputs the results.
For example:
console.time("FileWrite"); f.write(data); //takes about
500ms console.timeEnd("FileWrite"); >> FileWrite:
500ms
trace(label) Writes out a stack trace of the current position in code
to stderr. For example:
module.trace("traceMark"); >>Trace: traceMark at
Object.<anonymous> (C:test.js:24:9) at
Module._compile (module.js:456:26) at
Object.Module._ext.js (module.js:474:10) at Module.load
(module.js:356:32) at Function.Module._load
(module.js:312:12) at
Function.Module.runMain(module.js:497:10) at startup
(node.js:119:16) at node.js:901:3
assert(expression,
[message])
Writes the message and stack trace to the console if
expression evaluates to false.

NODE.JS EVENTS
• According to the official documentation of Node.js, it is an asynchronous event-
driven JavaScript runtime. Node.js has an event-driven architecture which can
perform asynchronous tasks.
• Node.js has ‘events’ module which emits named events that can cause
corresponding functions or callbacks to be called.
• Functions(Callbacks) listen or subscribe to a particular event to occur and when that
event triggers, all the callbacks subscribed to that event are fired one by one in order
to which they were registered.
• The EventEmmitter class: All objects that emit events are instances of the
EventEmitter class. The event can be emitted or listen to an event with the help of
EventEmitter
Syntax:
const EventEmitter=require('events');
var eventEmitter=new EventEmitter();

• Listening events: Before emits any event, it must register
functions(callbacks) to listen to the events.
Syntax:
eventEmitter.addListener(event, listener) eventEmitter.on(event, listener)
eventEmitter.once(event, listener)
eventEmmitter.on(event,listener) and
eventEmitter.addListener(event, listener)
are pretty much similar.
• It adds the listener at the end of the listener’s array for the specified event.
• Multiple calls to the same event and listener will add the listener multiple
times and correspondingly fire multiple times.
• Both functions return emitter, so calls can be chained.

• eventEmitter.once(event, listener) fires at most once for a
particular event and will be removed from listeners array after it
has listened once. Returns emitter, so calls can be chained.
• Emitting events: Every event is named event in nodejs. We can
trigger an event by emit(event, [arg1], [arg2], […]) function.
We can pass an arbitrary set of arguments to the listener
functions
Syntax:
eventEmitter.emit(event, [arg1], [arg2], [...])

Importing events
const EventEmitter = require('events');
// Initializing event emitter instances
var eventEmitter = new EventEmitter();
// Registering to myEvent
eventEmitter.on('myEvent', (msg) => {
console.log(msg);
});
// Triggering myEvent
eventEmitter.emit('myEvent', "First event");
Output:
First event

• RemovingListener: The eventEmitter.removeListener() take
s two argument event and listener, and removes that listener
from the listeners array that is subscribed to that event.
• While eventEmitter.removeAllListeners() removes all the
listener from the array which are subscribed to the mentioned
event.
Syntax:
eventEmitter.removeListener(event, listener)
eventEmitter.removeAllListeners([event])

• eventEmitter.listeners(): It returns an array of listeners for the
specified event.
Syntax:
eventEmitter.listeners(event)
• eventEmitter.listenerCount(): It returns the number of
listeners listening to the specified event.
Syntax:
eventEmitter.listenerCount(event)

• eventEmitter.prependOnceListener(): It will add the
one-time listener to the beginning of the array.
Syntax:
eventEmitter.prependOnceListener(event, listener)
• eventEmitter.prependListener(): It will add the
listener to the beginning of the array.
Syntax:
eventEmitter.prependListener(event, listener)

Adding work to event queue
• Node.js is a single-threaded event-driven platform that is capable of
running non-blocking, asynchronously programming.
• These functionalities of Node.js make it memory efficient. The event
loop allows Node.js to perform non-blocking I/O operations despite the
fact that JavaScript is single-threaded.
• It is done by assigning operations to the operating system whenever and
wherever possible.
• Most operating systems are multi-threaded and hence can handle multiple
operations executing in the background.
• When one of these operations is completed, the kernel tells Node.js and
the respective callback assigned to that operation is added to the event
queue which will eventually be executed.

Features of Event Loop:
• Event loop is an endless loop, which waits for tasks, executes them
and then sleeps until it receives more tasks.
• The event loop executes tasks from the event queue only when the
call stack is empty i.e. there is no ongoing task.
• The event loop allows us to use callbacks and promises.
• The event loop executes the tasks starting from the oldest first.

Writing data to console
Console.log("This is the first statement");
setTimeout(function(){
console.log("This is the second statement");
}, 1000);
console.log("This is the third statement");
Output: This is the first statement
This is the third statement
This is the second statement
• In the above example, the first console log statement is pushed to the call stack and “This is
the first statement” is logged on the console and the task is popped from the stack.
• Next, the setTimeout is pushed to the queue and the task is sent to the Operating system and
the timer is set for the task. This task is then popped from the stack.
• Next, the third console log statement is pushed to the call stack and “This is the third
statement” is logged on the console and the task is popped from the stack.

• When the timer set by setTimeout function (in this
case 1000 ms) runs out, the callback is sent to the
event queue.
• The event loop on finding the call stack empty takes
the task at the top of the event queue and sends it to
the call stack.
• The callback function for setTimeout function runs the
instruction and “This is the second statement” is
logged on the console and the task is popped from the
stack.

Working of the Event loop:
• When Node.js starts, it initializes the event loop, processes the
provided input script which may make async API calls, schedule
timers, then begins processing the event loop.
• In the previous example, the initial input script consisted of
console.log() statements and a setTimeout() function which schedules
a timer.
• When using Node.js, a special library module called libuv is used to
perform async operations. This library is also used, together with the
back logic of Node, to manage a special thread pool called the libuv
thread pool.
• This thread pool is composed of four threads used to delegate
operations that are too heavy for the event loop.

• I/O operations, Opening and closing connections, setTimeouts
are the example of such operations.
• When the thread pool completes a task, a callback function is
called which handles the error(if any) or does some other
operation.
• This callback function is sent to the event queue. When the call
stack is empty, the event goes through the event queue and
sends the callback to the call stack.

The following diagram is a proper representation of the event
loop in a Node.js server:

Phases of the Event loop: The following diagram shows a
simplified overview of the event loop order of operations:

• Timers: Callbacks scheduled by setTimeout() or setInterval()
are executed in this phase.
• Pending Callbacks: I/O callbacks deferred to the next loop
iteration are executed here.
• Idle, Prepare: Used internally only.
• Poll: Retrieves new I/O events.
• Check: It invokes setIntermediate() callbacks.
• Close Callbacks: It handles some close callbacks. Eg:
socket.on(‘close’, …)
