EJS (Embedded JavaScript) 1. What is EJS? EJS is a template engine used with Express.js .  It helps us show dynamic data inside HTML. Simple Meaning: HTML + JavaScript = EJS 2. Why do we use EJS? Without EJS: We send plain HTML No dynamic data With EJS: We can show data from backend Reuse HTML Make pages dynamic Example: Show user name from server in HTML. 3. Install EJS npm install ejs 4. Setup EJS in Express app.js const express = require("express"); const app = express(); app.set("view engine", "ejs"); app.listen(3000, () => { console.log("Server running"); }); view engine tells Express to use EJS. 5. Folder Structure for EJS project/ │── app.js │── views/ │ └── home.ejs │ └── about.ejs EJS files must be inside views folder 6. First EJS Page app.js app.get("/", (req, res) => { res.render("home"); }); views/home.ejs <h1>Welcome to EJS</h1> 7. Send Data from Server to EJS app.js app.get(...

    1. What is Middleware? Middleware is a function that runs between the client request and the server response. Flow: Client Request → Middleware → Route → Response Middleware can: Execute code Modify request or response objects End the request–response cycle Call the next middleware or route 2. Why Do We Need Middleware? Without middleware: Code becomes repetitive Logic is mixed inside routes Difficult to manage security and validation With middleware: Clean and reusable code Better security Easier debugging and maintenance 3. Middleware Syntax function middlewareName(req, res, next) {     // logic here     next(); } Key Points: req → request object res → response object next() → moves control to the next middleware or route If next() is not called, the request will stop. 4. Simple Middleware Example Step 1: Create Server const express =...

Express.js with Node.js  1. What is Node.js? Node.js is a runtime environment that allows us to run JavaScript outside the browser . Why Node.js? Very fast (uses V8 Engine ) Non-blocking (handles many users at once) Used to create backend servers , APIs, real-time apps Example (Simple Node Program) console.log("Hello from Node.js"); Run using: node app.js 2. What is Express.js? Express.js is a framework built on Node.js that makes backend development easy and fast . Why Express? Less code Easy routing Easy API creation Used in MERN stack Industry standard  Node.js = Engine  Express.js = Toolkit 3. Installing Node.js & Express Step 1: Initialize project npm init -y Step 2: Install Express npm install express 4. Create First Express Server Basic Server Code const express = require("express"); const app = express(); app.listen(3000, () => { console.log("Server running on port 3000"); }); Explanation express() → creates app app.listen() → starts...

What is an API?  API (Application Programming Interface) is a way for two applications to communicate with each other . Example: Your Node.js app asks a server: “Give me weather data” Server replies: “Here is the weather data” This request–response process is called API integration . Why We Use APIs in Node.js To fetch live data (weather, news, stock prices) To send data (login, signup, payments) To connect with external services like Google, YouTube, WhatsApp, payment gateways Types of APIs REST API – Most common, uses JSON SOAP API – Older, XML based Node.js applications mostly work with REST APIs . Tools Needed for API Integration in Node.js Node.js installed axios or fetch library Install Required Package Using Axios npm install axios Important API Terms Endpoint – API URL Method – GET, POST, PUT, DELETE Headers – Extra information (API key, token) Body – Data sent to server Response – Data returned by API Step 1: Import Axios const axios = require('axios'); Step 2...

  Notes on nodemon Module in Node.js What is nodemon ? nodemon is a utility that helps developers automatically restart a Node.js application whenever file changes are detected. It’s a development tool that improves productivity by eliminating the need to manually restart the server after code modifications. Key Features of nodemon : Monitors file changes in the application directory. Automatically restarts the Node.js server on file updates. Lightweight and easy to configure. Supports custom configurations and scripts. Installing nodemon Globally: Installs nodemon globally, making it available for all projects. o    npm install -g nodemon Use the nodemon command from anywhere. Locally (Recommended): Installs nodemon as a development dependency. o    npm install --save-dev nodemon Use it in a specific project via npm ...
