node how to write to a file in the front end code example

Example 1: writefile in node js

// write_stream.js

const fs = require('fs');

let writeStream = fs.createWriteStream('secret.txt');

// write some data with a base64 encoding
writeStream.write('aef35ghhjdk74hja83ksnfjk888sfsf', 'base64');

// the finish event is emitted when all data has been flushed from the stream
writeStream.on('finish', () => {
    console.log('wrote all data to file');
});

// close the stream
writeStream.end();

Example 2: writefile in node js

// 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');
        });
    });
});
