Ok, so how exactly start writing nodeJS code

Question

I have a website running (hosted with Namecheap shared plan).
I [create, update,] content frequently. To do that I use cPannel > File Manager to manually edit html [the file I need to /edit].
It’s kinda an okay way to update your content if you don’t got a choice, but upon doing some research, using Templating Engine is the way to do it.
They say dJango is the best, but I’m going with NodeJS, since I’m familiar with JS. I learned to install nodeJS (on local computer), and display hello world.

Answer 1

Looks like this might address that, even though the English is a bit wonky.

Cpanel does have its good aspects but I'm glad I don't have to deal with it daily anymore.

NodeJs is the way to run Javascript outside browser using Google V8 engine
Google for any MERN/MEAN stack (Mongo + Express) boilerplate
https://expressjs.com/
Its easy to learn since Mongo has the Mongoose driver and its a json database.
Some basic tutorial

For anything more advanced/enterprise I recommend you search some ORM framework and use Typescript instead of Javascript
https://expressjs.com/en/resources/frameworks.html
Also read some tips about performance and clustering

In the web host, in the file cPannel, there’s an option “Create nodeJs application”.

Answer 5

```js
const http = require("http");
const app = http.createServer((req, res) => {
if(req.url === "/") {
res.write("hello");
res.end();
} else {
res.write("404: page not found") ;
res.end();
}
});
const port = process.env.PORT || 5000;
app.listen(port);
```
This is with vanilla js.
We often use express to create server.
```js
const express = require("express") ;
const app = express();
const port = process.env.PORT || 5000;
app.get("/", (req, res) => {
res.send("hello");
})
app.listen(port);

Phil Andy Graves so, what are you using now?

Answer 7

Ginfio mostly command line when I do anything with node (have some interesting mobile stuff) but I'm working on ecma stuff at the moment instead of node. If I were starting over knowing what I do now, I would be using adb and termux, then install the termux desktop.

Here are some books that can help you start coding Node.JS once you've got the basics down, you can just begin picking away at things until you've learned the language.
