Nodejs-Practice-code

A collection of small Node.js projects and practice exercises maintained by MuqhtadeerM. This repository is intended as a personal playground to try out Node.js features, patterns, and libraries — from tiny scripts to small services and experiments.

About

This repo stores practice code for learning and experimenting with Node.js. Each exercise or small project should be isolated so it can be run and tested independently.

Prerequisites

• Node.js (recommended LTS; e.g. v18 or v20)
• npm or pnpm or yarn (whichever you prefer)
• Git

Repository structure (suggested)

This repo may contain multiple small projects. A suggested layout:

• /projects/ or /examples/ — main folder containing individual projects
  • /projects/http-server/
    • package.json
    • index.js
    • README.md (for project-specific notes)
  • /projects/crud-api/
  • /projects/cli-tools/
• /scripts/ — small utility scripts used across projects
• /.github/ — CI workflows (optional)
• README.md — this file

Note: If your repo currently has a different layout, update the README to match.

How to run a project

1. Clone the repo:

   git clone https://github.com/MuqhtadeerM/Nodejs-Practice-code.git
   cd Nodejs-Practice-code
   

2. Find the project you want to run (for example projects/http-server) and follow that project's README. Common steps:

   cd projects/http-server
   npm install
   npm start      # or `node index.js`
   

Example minimal HTTP server (you can place this in projects/http-server/index.js):

const http = require('http');

const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
  res.end('Hello from Nodejs-Practice-code!\n');
});

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

Common workflows

• Create a new folder for each experiment or small project.
• Add a package.json if using npm packages:

  npm init -y
  npm install <packages>
  

• Add a short README.md inside each project to explain purpose and how to run it.
• Keep code small and focused — one idea per project.

Adding a new practice project

1. Add a folder under projects/ with a descriptive kebab-case name (e.g. projects/file-watcher).
2. Add a README.md that describes the project and how to run it.
3. Add a package.json if needed.
4. Commit and push:

   git checkout -b feat/add-file-watcher
   git add projects/file-watcher
   git commit -m "Add file-watcher practice project"
   git push origin feat/add-file-watcher
   

5. Open a PR when you want to merge changes into main.

Contribution guidelines

This repository is primarily for your personal practice. If you accept contributions:

• Use clear commit messages.
• Open an issue or PR describing the change.
• Keep the scope of PRs small and focused.
• Include tests or usage examples where helpful.

Testing

For small exercises you can use:

• Node built-in assertions and simple test scripts
• Jest, Mocha, or other test runners for more structured tests

Example:

cd projects/some-project
npm install --save-dev jest
npx jest

Formatting and linting

Consider using:

• ESLint for linting
• Prettier for consistent formatting Add configuration files at the repo root or per-project as needed.

If you'd like, I can:

• Commit this README.md to the repository for you, creating a branch and opening a PR, or
• Tailor the README to exactly match the current project list in your repo (I can read the repo and produce a project-specific README). Which would you prefer?
