How It Works

Install Node.js

Download the installer from the official site or use a package manager like nvm.

Initialize Project

Run `npm init` to create a package.json file and configure your app.

Write Server Code

Use built-in modules like `http` or frameworks like Express to build APIs.

Install Packages

Use `npm install` to add libraries for routing, database, testing, and more.

Run & Deploy

Start your server with `node app.js` and deploy using Docker, cloud, or CI/CD.

Code Example

// Node.js Model Training

// Sample Node.js HTTP server
const http = require('http');

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  res.statusCode = 200;
  res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
  res.end('Hello from Node.js!');
});

server.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Server running at http://localhost:3000/');
});
