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!');

// Or
fs.writeFileSync('/tmp/test-sync', 'Hey there!');

Example 3: 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 4: fs writefile node

  }
  //file written successfully

    var content = data;
  
    console.log(content);
