Mastering Node.js Web Development

Getting Ready

Node.js is a server-side JavaScript runtime that has become one of the most popular platforms for creating web applications. Node.js benefits from a vast library of packages and frameworks, providing every kind of feature and function imaginable, built on a rich API that Node.js provides for handling low-level tasks.

This book is different from most other Node.js books because it explains the relationship between the Node.js API and popular web application packages. Each chapter explains how a core feature required for web development can be implemented using the Node.js API, before replacing the custom implementation with a popular and well-tested open-source package.

Understanding the Node.js API gives you a solid understanding of how web application features really work, and using popular packages lets you build those features without having to write custom code. When problems arise, as they will in any project, your knowledge of the Node.js API will give...

Are there lots of examples?

There are loads of examples. The best way to learn is by example, and I have packed as many of them into this book as I can. To maximize the number of examples in this book, I have adopted a simple convention to avoid listing the same code or content repeatedly. When I create a file, I will show its full contents, just as I have in Listing 1.1. I include the name of the file and its folder in the listing’s header, and I show the changes that I have made in bold.

Listing 1.1. Asserting an Unknown Value in the index.ts File in the primer Folder

function getUKCapital() : string { 
    return "London";
}
function writeCity(f: () => string)  {
    console.log(`City: ${f()}`)
}
writeCity(getUKCapital);
writeCity(() => "Paris");
let myCity = "Rome";
writeCity(() => myCity);

This is a listing from Chapter 3, which shows the contents of a file called index.ts that can be found in the primer folder. Don’t worry about...

Description

Dive into the world of Node.js with this comprehensive guide, taking you from foundational concepts to practical web development mastery. Written by an industry veteran with over 50 programming books under his belt, this book will help both beginners and seasoned developers. Gain a deep understanding of the most important server-side features in web development with Node.js. The first part of the book will get you up to speed with basic features of Node.js and TypeScript. In the second part, you’ll elevate your skills by creating simplified implementations of key server-side features to understand how they work and how they are presented to clients. Armed with the understanding gained from implementing each feature, you will be able to replace custom code with production-ready open-source packages. The third part will help you understand how server-side features are combined for practical web development. Using Adam Freeman’s signature SportsStore application, you will learn how to develop client and server-side components, culminating in a thorough application deployment preparation. By the end of this Node.js book, you will be able to build and deploy server applications to support HTTP clients, including JavaScript applications created with frameworks such as Angular and React.

What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

I am still digesting this book (at about half of through), but it answered my relatively newbie questions already and I found the most difficult (for me it was the Node's code execution, concurrency model) topics explained so well I am not worried I can embrace the modern NodeJS - based Web development.I found the most precious the topics on data models, debugging and RESTFULL services ( I am on a data wrangling spree ). The real application example is a real gem - allows to solidify and repeat learn the material.The harder parts I wish could be easier are the ones on security, Docker and deployment in general.My advice for a book reader - learn the NPM commands and make helper scripts.

I am a C# developer and have touched on JS and TS when creating web applications, so I already have a basic understanding of them. However, this book would be great for someone with absolutely no experience with either as it takes you through all aspects required to progress through the books chapters culminating in the creation of a store with database support and full data validation. It even covers creating a docker image from the finished project.Overall a great read for beginners, I would highly recommend.

This book does an excellent job of covering development with Node.js and the surrounding web ecosystem. It starts from the ground up by introducing the required tooling and providing an overview of JavaScript and TypeScript. It runs the gamut on what you would normally be expected to know when building a Node.js app: HTTP, streams, HTML templates, databases, authentication, etc.For folks new to Node.js, this book will help get you up and running with a production grade app. For seasoned Node.js developers, it provides a good reference for filling in the blanks in your knowledge (or at least blowing the dust off the knowledge you already have).The book also covers some niche stuff like worker threads, which is nice if you don’t feel like scouring the web to figure out how to use them. I like how the author walks you through building an entire app in the last few chapters. Overall, I’d say it’s definitely worth a read!
