run node application code example

Example 1: node js server

const express = require('express')
const app = express()
const port = 3000

app.get('/', (req, res) => res.send('Hello World!'))

app.listen(port, () => console.log(`Example app listening at http://localhost:${port}`))

Example 2: SERVER PORT NODE.JS

const http = require('http');

const hostname = '127.0.0.1';
const port = 3000;

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  res.statusCode = 200;
  res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
  res.end('Hello World');
});

server.listen(port, hostname, () => {
  console.log(`Server running at http://${hostname}:${port}/`);
});

Example 3: node run command

// Run a command asynchronously
const { spawn } = require('child_process');
const dir = spawn('cmd', ['/c', 'dir']);

dir.stdout.on('data', data => console.log(`Stdout: ${data}`));
dir.stderr.on('data', data => console.log(`Stderr: ${data}`));
dir.on('close', code => console.log(`Exit code: ${code}`));

// Run a command synchronously
const { spawnSync } = require( 'child_process' );
const dir = spawnSync('cmd', ['/c', 'dir']);

console.log(`Stdout: ${dir.stdout.toString()}`);
console.log(`Stderr: ${dir.stderr.toString()}`);

Example 4: srart server js

require('dotenv').config();

const express = require('express');
const server = express();
const cors = require('cors');
const ejs = require('ejs');
const methodOverride = require('method-override');
const pg = require('pg');
const agent = require('superagent');

const client = new pg.Client(process.env.DATABASE_URL);

server.use(methodOverride('_method'));
server.use(express.static('./public'));
server.use(cors());
server.use(express.urlencoded({extended :true}));
server.set('view engine','ejs');
