Node.js: 5 Essential Syntax Examples for Beginners

mandeepsng - Feb 15 - - Dev Community

Sure, here are five examples of Node.js syntax:

  1. Defining a variable:
   const message = "Hello, World!";
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  1. Using built-in modules:
   const fs = require('fs');
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  1. Creating a function:
   function greet(name) {
       console.log(`Hello, ${name}!`);
   }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  1. Using arrow function:
   const add = (a, b) => {
       return a + b;
   };
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  1. Using asynchronous file reading:
   const fs = require('fs');

   fs.readFile('example.txt', 'utf8', (err, data) => {
       if (err) throw err;
       console.log(data);
   });
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

These examples demonstrate basic Node.js syntax for variable declaration, module import, function creation, arrow functions, and asynchronous file reading using the fs module.
