Part 3: JavaScript on the Server-Side

This part is about using JavaScript in a Node.js server. It explains the use of modules such as Express (to quickly create a Node. js-based web application using the MVC pattern) and the MongoDB database.

We end our study by building an application on a single page (this principle is called Single Page Application) which is written with Vue.js on the client-side, and with Node.js, Express and MongoDB on the server-side. The purpose of this book is to enable you to know how to make this type of application.

This section comprises the following chapters:

• Chapter 6, Creating and Using Node.js Modules
• Chapter 7, Using Express with Node.js
• Chapter 8, Using MongoDB with Node.js
• Chapter 9, Integrating Vue.js with Node.js
