- Open your command line and navigate to your repos directory (if you do not have a repos folder, then you can use mkdir repos to create one)
- Use this template repository to start a new project in your repos folder: git clone <repo_name>
- cd repo_name to navigate into your new repo directory
- Start Visual Studio Code and select 'Open Folder'. Then select repo_name to open the folder in the editor (or just type code . in your terminal inside the repo directory)
- Follow the instructions on the README.md file to complete exercises
- Create a new project folder called node_fs
- Inside of node_fs, create the 4 following js files:
- createFile.js
- readFile.js
- updateFile.js
- deleteFile.js
- Inside of createFile.js:
- Require the fs module
- Implement the fs.writeFile() function, creating a txt file called HelloWorld.txt, with Hello, World! inside
- Use the async version
- Run node createFile.js to create the file
- Inside of readFile.js:
- Require the fs module
- Implement the fs.readFile()
- You can either read the contents of the HelloWorld.txt file, or any other file you create in your project
- Run node readFile.js to read the file to the console
- Inside of updateFile.js
- Require the fs module
- Using the appendFile() function, append some text to the end of your HelloWorld.txt
- Run node update.js
- Inside of deleteFile.js
- Require the fs module
- Implement the fs.unlink()
- Run node deleteFile.js
- Using both the http and fs module, create a server that sends an html page back to the client upon request. You must have at minimum two html pages with corresponding routes, and a 404 not found page.
- Create a custom logger for accounting for requests to your server. Each time a request event is emitted by your server, send the appropriate html file back, but also log the following information to a file: Request method, url, response status code, and timestamp
- The timestamp can be any format you like, but it a least should show the time of day that the request was made
