Conventions used
There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.
Code in text
: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "Mount the downloaded WebStorm-10*.dmg
disk image file as another disk in your system."
A block of code is set as follows:
const { Router } = require("express"); const router = Router(); router.get("/", (req, res) => { res.render("index"); }); module.exports = router;
When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:
const express = require("express"); const app = express(); const debug = require("debug")("my-server"); app.get("/", (req, res) => { debug("HTTP GET request to /"); res.send("Hello World!"); });
Any command-line input or output is written as follows:
> new Buffer(10) <Buffer b7 20 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 2c>
Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see on screen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Select System info from the Administration panel."
