    Express

    CheatSheet
    In this Cheatsheet, we will cover the basics of Express.js. We will
    provide examples to help you understand how Express.js works
    and how to use them in your own web development projects.
    Whether you are a beginner or an experienced developer, this PDF
    can serve as a useful reference guide.

    EXPRESS
    Express.js is a popular open-source web application framework for
    Node.js, a JavaScript runtime that allows developers to build
    scalable, high-performance server-side applications. It provides a
    wide range of features and utilities for web application
    development, such as routing, middleware, and template
    rendering.

    With Express.js, developers can quickly create server-side


    applications that handle HTTP requests, process data, and
    respond with dynamic content or data from a database. It also
    supports a wide range of middleware that can be used to add
    functionality, such as authentication, compression, logging, and
    more.

    Express.js is designed to be flexible and easy to use, allowing


    developers to customize and extend it to meet the specific needs
    of their applications. Its modular structure and extensive
    community support make it one of the most popular frameworks
    for building web applications with Node.js.

    Express is a minimal and flexible Node.js web application


    framework that provides a robust set of features for web and
    mobile applications.

    INSTALLATION

    npm install express

    HELLO WORLD SERVER

    const express = require('express');


    const app = express();
    app.set('port', (process.env.PORT || config.port));
    app.get('/', (req, res) => res.send('Hello World!'));
    app.listen(app.get('port'), () =>
    console.log(`Server started on ${app.get('port')} port`))

    BASIC ROUTING:

    // GET
    app.get('/', function (req, res) {
    res.send('Hello World!')
    })

    // POST
    app.post('/', function (req, res) {
    res.send('POST request. body:', req.body)
    })

    // DELETE
    app.delete('/:id', function (req, res) {
    res.send('DELETE request for id:'. req.params.id)
    })

    3|Page
    STATIC FILE SERVING:

    app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));

    LOGGING ALL ROUTES:

    app._router.stack.forEach(function(r) {
    if (r.route && r.route.path) {
    console.log(r.route.path)
    }
    });

    DEFINING ROUTES IN A DIFFERENT FILE:


    File: /routes/users.js

    // File Path: /routes/users.js

    var express = require('express');


    var router = express.Router();
    router.get('/', (req, res) => {
    const users = []; // get from db
    res.send(users);
    });
    router.get('/:id', (req, res) => {
    const user = {}; // get from db
    res.send(user);
    });
    router.post('/', (req, res) => {
    const user = req.body; // save user to db
    res.send({status: 'success'});
    });
    module.exports = router;

    ADDING ROUTES FROM: /routes/users.js

    app.use('/user', require('./routes/user'));

    REDIRECTS:

    router.get('/old-path', function(req, res) {


    res.redirect('/temp-new-path'); // sends a 302
    });

    router.get('/old-path', function(req, res) {


    res.redirect(301, '/permanent-new-path'); // sends a 301
    });
