Overview of this book

A key technology for building web applications and tooling, Node.js brings JavaScript to the server enabling full-stack development in a common language. This fourth edition of the Node Cookbook is updated with the latest Node.js features and the evolution of the Node.js framework ecosystems. This practical guide will help you to get started with creating, debugging, and deploying your Node.js applications and cover solutions to common problems, along with tips to avoid pitfalls. You'll become familiar with the Node.js development model by learning how to handle files and build simple web applications and then explore established and emerging Node.js web frameworks such as Express.js and Fastify. As you advance, you'll discover techniques for detecting problems in your applications, handling security concerns, and deploying your applications to the cloud. This recipe-based guide will help you to easily navigate through various core topics of server-side web application development with Node.js. By the end of this Node book, you'll be well-versed with core Node.js concepts and have gained the knowledge to start building performant and scalable Node.js applications.

Publishing your module to the npm registry will make it available for other developers to find and include in their application. This is how the npm ecosystem operates: developers will author and publish modules to npm for other developers to consume and reuse in their Node.js application.

Specifically, we'll be publishing our module to a scoped namespace, so you can expect your module to be available at @npmusername/reverse-sentence.

Getting ready

This recipe relies on the Implementing your module recipe of this chapter. We will be publishing the reverse-sentence module that we created in that recipe to the npm registry. You can obtain the module code from the Implementing your...
