how to write files in nodejs code example
Example 1: writefile in node js
// writefile.js
const fs = require('fs');
let lyrics = 'But still I\'m having memories of high speeds when the cops crashed\n' +
'As I laugh, pushin the gas while my Glocks blast\n' +
'We was young and we was dumb but we had heart';
// write to a new file named 2pac.txt
fs.writeFile('2pac.txt', lyrics, (err) => {
// throws an error, you could also catch it here
if (err) throw err;
// success case, the file was saved
console.log('Lyric saved!');
});
Example 2: node js write file
// fs_write.js
const fs = require('fs');
// specify the path to the file, and create a buffer with characters we want to write
let path = 'ghetto_gospel.txt';
let buffer = new Buffer('Those who wish to follow me\nI welcome with my hands\nAnd the red sun sinks at last');
// open the file in writing mode, adding a callback function where we do the actual writing
fs.open(path, 'w', function(err, fd) {
if (err) {
throw 'could not open file: ' + err;
}
// write the contents of the buffer, from position 0 to the end, to the file descriptor returned in opening our file
fs.write(fd, buffer, 0, buffer.length, null, function(err) {
if (err) throw 'error writing file: ' + err;
fs.close(fd, function() {
console.log('wrote the file successfully');
});
});
});
Example 3: writefile in node js
// append_file.js
const fs = require('fs');
// add a line to a lyric file, using appendFile
fs.appendFile('empirestate.txt', '\nRight there up on Broadway', (err) => {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('The lyrics were updated!');
});

function convertToJSON() {
var firstname = document.getElementById('firstname').value;
var lastname = document.getElementById('lastname').value;
var email = document.getElementById('email').value;
var jsonObject = {
"FirstName": firstname,
"LastName": lastname,
"email": email
}
document.getElementById('output').value = JSON.stringify(jsonObject)
}
function saveToFile() {
convertToJSON();
var jsonObjectAsString = document.getElementById('output').value;
var blob = new Blob([jsonObjectAsString], {
//type: 'application/json'
type: 'octet/stream'
});
console.log(blob);
var anchor = document.createElement('a')
anchor.download = "user.json";
anchor.href = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
anchor.innerHTML = "download"
