Note: The live demo is hosted on a free hosting service, and it may take about 1 or 2 minutes for the server to wake up if it's in a sleeping state.

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/AnhtuanUit/node-farm.git

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Ensure nodemon is installed globally (if not already):

   • Builds and fills HTML templates with data using manual parsing techniques.

3. Core Module Usage:

   • Creates routes using core modules in Node.js without relying on external frameworks like Express.

4. URL Parsing:

   • Manually parses URLs from the browser to understand the underlying mechanisms.

5. Module Creation:

   • Develops custom Node.js modules to encapsulate functionality and enhance code modularity.

6. npm Module Management:

   • Introduces npm, including installing external packages, specifying package versions, and updating packages.

npm Packages Used

• eslint, eslint-config-airbnb, eslint-config-prettier, eslint-plugin-import, eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y, eslint-plugin-node, eslint-plugin-prettier, eslint-plugin-react: For linting and maintaining code quality.
