  })
  .listen(8124);
console.log("Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8124/");

GLOBAL OBJECTS

---

In browsers, the top-level scope is the global scope

That means that in browsers if you're in the global scope let something will define a global variable.

EVENTS

All objects which emit events are instances of events.EventEmitter. You can access this module by doing: require("events");

---

To access the EventEmitter class, require('events').EventEmitter

All EventEmitters emit the event 'newListener' when new listeners are added and 'removeListener' when a listener is removed.

---

emitter.addListener(event, listener);

---

Adds a listener to the end of the listeners array for the specified event

emitter.on(event, listener);

---

---

emitter.removeListener(event, listener);

---

Remove a listener from the listener array for the specified event

emitter.removeAllListeners([event]);

---

Removes all listeners, or those of the specified event

emitter.setMaxListeners(n);

---

By default EventEmitters will print a warning if more than 10 listeners are added for a particular event

---

Returns an array of listeners for the specified event

emitter.emit(event, [arg1], [arg2], [...]);

---

---

Execute each of the listeners in order with the supplied arguments. Returns true if event had listeners, false otherwise

EventEmitter.listenerCount(emitter, event);

---

---

Return the number of listeners for a given event

A stream is an abstract interface implemented by various objects in Node. For example a request to an HTTP server is a stream, as is stdout.

Streams are readable, writable, or both. All streams are instances of EventEmitter.

The Readable stream interface is the abstraction for a source of data that you are reading from.

In other words, data comes out of a Readable stream.

A Readable stream will not start emitting data until you indicate that you are ready to receive it.

Examples of readable streams include: http responses on the client, http requests on the server, fs read streams zlib streams, crypto streams, tcp sockets, child process stdout and stderr, process.stdin.

---

let readable = getReadableStreamSomehow();
readable.on("readable", function () {});

---

When a chunk of data can be read from the stream, it will emit a 'readable' event

readable.on("data", function (chunk) {});

---

---

If you attach a data event listener, then it will switch the stream into flowing mode, and data will be passed to your handler as soon as it is available

readable.on("end", function () {});

---

This event fires when there will be no more data to read

readable.on("close", function () {});

---

---

Emitted when the underlying resource (for example, the backing file descriptor) has been closed. Not all streams will emit this

readable.on("error", function () {});

---

---

Emitted if there was an error receiving data

The read() method pulls some data out of the internal buffer and returns it. If there is no data available, then it will return null.

This method should only be called in non-flowing mode. In flowing-mode, this method is called automatically until the internal buffer is drained.

---

readable.read([size]);
readable.setEncoding(encoding);

---

Call this function to cause the stream to return strings of the specified encoding instead of Buffer objects

readable.resume();

---

This method will cause the readable stream to resume emitting data events

readable.pause();

---

This method will cause a stream in flowing-mode to stop emitting data events

readable.pipe(destination, [options]);

---

This method pulls all the data out of a readable stream, and writes it to the supplied destination, automatically managing the flow so that the destination is not overwhelmed by a fast readable stream

readable.unpipe([destination]);

---

This method will remove the hooks set up for a previous pipe() call. If the destination is not specified, then all pipes are removed

readable.unshift(chunk);

---

This is useful in certain cases where a stream is being consumed by a parser, which needs to "un-consume" some data that it has optimistically pulled out of the source, so that the stream can be passed on to some other party

The Writable stream interface is an abstraction for a destination that you are writing data to.

Examples of writable streams include: http requests on the client, http responses on the server, fs write streams, zlib streams, crypto streams, tcp sockets, child process stdin, process.stdout, process.stderr.

---

let writer = getWritableStreamSomehow();
writable.write(chunk, [encoding], [callback]);

---

---

This method writes some data to the underlying system, and calls the supplied callback once the data has been fully handled

writer.once("drain", write);

---

If a writable.write(chunk) call returns false, then the drain event will indicate when it is appropriate to begin writing more data to the stream

writable.end([chunk], [encoding], [callback]);

---

---

Call this method when no more data will be written to the stream

writer.on("finish", function () {});

---

When the end() method has been called, and all data has been flushed to the underlying system, this event is emitted

writer.on("pipe", function (src) {});

---

---

This is emitted whenever the pipe() method is called on a readable stream, adding this writable to its set of destinations

writer.on("unpipe", function (src) {});

---

This is emitted whenever the unpipe() method is called on a readable stream, removing this writable from its set of destinations

writer.on("error", function (src) {});

---

Emitted if there was an error when writing or piping data

Duplex streams are streams that implement both the Readable and Writable interfaces. See above for usage.

Examples of Duplex streams include: tcp sockets, zlib streams, crypto streams.

Transform streams are Duplex streams where the output is in some way computed from the input. They implement both the Readable and Writable interfaces. See above for usage.

Examples of Transform streams include: zlib streams, crypto streams.

Emitted when a response is received to this request. This event is emitted only once

request.on("socket", function (socket) {});

---

Emitted after a socket is assigned to this request

request.on("connect", function (response, socket, head) {});

---

Emitted each time a server responds to a request with a CONNECT method. If this event isn't being listened for, clients receiving a CONNECT method will have their connections closed

request.on("upgrade", function (response, socket, head) {});

---

Emitted each time a server responds to a request with an upgrade. If this event isn't being listened for, clients receiving an upgrade header will have their connections closed

request.on("continue", function () {});

---

Emitted when the server sends a '100 Continue' HTTP response, usually because the request contained 'Expect: 100-continue'. This is an instruction that the client should send the request body

response.write(chunk, [encoding]);

---

This sends a chunk of the response body. If this merthod is called and response.writeHead() has not been called, it will switch to implicit header mode and flush the implicit headers

response.writeContinue();

---

Sends a HTTP/1.1 100 Continue message to the client, indicating that the request body should be sent

response.writeHead(statusCode, [reasonPhrase], [headers]);

---

Sends a response header to the request

response.setTimeout(msecs, callback);

---

Sets the Socket's timeout value to msecs. If a callback is provided, then it is added as a listener on the 'timeout' event on the response object

response.setHeader(name, value);

---

Sets a single header value for implicit headers. If this header already exists in the to-be-sent headers, its value will be replaced. Use an array of strings here if you need to send multiple headers with the same name

response.getHeader(name);

---

Reads out a header that's already been queued but not sent to the client. Note that the name is case insensitive

response.removeHeader(name);

---

Removes a header that's queued for implicit sending

response.addTrailers(headers);

---

This method adds HTTP trailing headers (a header but at the end of the message) to the response

response.end([data], [encoding]);

---

This method signals to the server that all of the response headers and body have been sent; that server should consider this message complete. The method, response.end(), MUST be called on each response

response.statusCode;

---

When using implicit headers (not calling response.writeHead() explicitly), this property controls the status code that will be sent to the client when the headers get flushed

response.headersSent;

---

Boolean (read-only). True if headers were sent, false otherwise

response.sendDate;

---

When true, the Date header will be automatically generated and sent in the response if it is not already present in the headers. Defaults to true

response.on("close", function () {});

---

---

Indicates that the underlying connection was terminated before response.end() was called or able to flush

response.on("finish", function () {});

---

---

Emitted when the response has been sent

message.httpVersion;

---

In case of server request, the HTTP version sent by the client. In the case of client response, the HTTP version of the connected-to server

message.headers;

---

The request/response headers object

---

---

The request/response trailers object. Only populated after the 'end' event

This module is used for writing unit tests for your applications, you can access it with require('assert').

---

assert.fail(actual, expected, message, operator);

---

Throws an exception that displays the values for actual and expected separated by the provided operator

---

Allocates a new buffer of size octets

Buffer.from(array);

---

---

---

---

ReactJS

---

npm install --save react
#// declarative and flexible JavaScript library for building UI
npm install --save react-dom
---
---
---
---


#> serves as the entry point of the DOM-related rendering paths
npm install --save prop-types
#// runtime type checking for React props and similar objects

notes: don't forget the command lines

Create and return a new React element of the given type.

Code written with JSX will be converted to use React.createElement().

---

You will not typically invoke React.createElement() directly if you are using JSX

React.createElement(type, [props], [...children]);

---

Clone and return a new React element using element as the starting point

The resulting element will have the original element's props with the new props merged in shallowly.

---

React.cloneElement(element, [props], [...children]);

---

Verifies the object is a React element. Returns true or false

React.isValidElement(object);

---

React.Children> provides utilities for dealing with the this.props.children opaque data structure

Invokes a function on every immediate child contained within children with this set to thisArg.

---

React.Children.map(children, function[(thisArg)]);

---

Like React.Children.map() but does not return an array

React.Children.forEach(children, function[(thisArg)]);

---

Returns the total number of components in children, equal to the number of times that a callback passed to map or forEach would be invoked

React.Children.count(children);

---

Verifies that children has only one child (a React element) and returns it

Otherwise this method throws an error.

---

React.Children.only(children);

---

Returns the children opaque data structure as a flat array with keys assigned to each child

Useful if you want to manipulate collections of children in your render methods, especially if you want to reorder or slice this.props.children before passing it down.

---

React.Children.toArray(children);

---

The React.Fragment component lets you return multiple elements in a render() method without creating an additional DOM element

---

You can also use it with the shorthand <></> syntax

class Component extends React.Component {

Will be called before it is mounted constructor(props) { Call this method before any other statement or this.props will be undefined in the constructor super(props);

The constructor is also often used to bind event handlers to the class instance.

Binding makes sure the method has access to component attributes like this.props and this.state

this.method = this.method.bind(this);

---

The constructor is the right place to initialize state

  this.state = {
    active: true,

---

In rare cases, it's okay to initialize state based on props

This effectively "forks" the props and sets the state with the initial props.

If you "fork" props by using them for state, you might also want to implement componentWillReceiveProps(nextProps) to keep the state up-to-date with them. But lifting state up is often easier and less bug-prone.

---

    color: props.initialColor
  };
}

Enqueues changes to the component state and tells React that this component and its children need to be re-rendered with the updated state.

setState() does not always immediately update the component. It may batch or defer the update until later.

This makes reading this.state right after calling setState() a potential pitfall.

Instead, use componentDidUpdate or a setState callback.

---

You may optionally pass an object as the first argument to setState() instead of a function

setState(updater[, callback]) { }

Invoked just before mounting occurs (before render())

This is the only lifecycle hook called on server rendering.

---

componentWillMount() { }

Invoked immediately after a component is mounted.

Initialization that requires DOM nodes should go here.

If you need to load data from a remote endpoint, this is a good place to instantiate the network request.

This method is a good place to set up any subscriptions. If you do that, don't forget to unsubscribe in componentWillUnmount().

---

componentDidMount() { }

Invoked before a mounted component receives new props.

If you need to update the state in response to prop changes (for example, to reset it), you may compare this.props and nextProps and perform state transitions using this.setState() in this method.

---

componentWillReceiveProps(nextProps) { }

---

^^^^ Let React know if a component's output is not affected by the current change in state or props

The default behavior is to re-render on every state change, and in the vast majority of cases you should rely on the default behavior.

---

shouldComponentUpdate() is invoked before rendering when new props or state are being received. Defaults to true

This method is not called for the initial render or when forceUpdate() is used.

Returning false does not prevent child components from re-rendering when their state changes.

---

shouldComponentUpdate(nextProps, nextState) { }

Invoked just before rendering when new props or state are being received.

Use this as an opportunity to perform preparation before an update occurs. This method is not called for the initial render.

Note that you cannot call this.setState() here; nor should you do anything else

(e.g. dispatch a Redux action) that would trigger an update to a React component before componentWillUpdate() returns.

If you need to update state in response to props changes, use componentWillReceiveProps() instead.

---

componentWillUpdate(nextProps, nextState) { }

Invoked immediately after updating occurs. This method is not called for the initial render.

Use this as an opportunity to operate on the DOM when the component has been updated.

This is also a good place to do network requests as long as you compare the current props to previous props (e.g. a network request may not be necessary if the props have not changed).

---

componentDidUpdate(prevProps, prevState) { }

Invoked immediately before a component is unmounted and destroyed.

Perform any necessary cleanup in this method, such as invalidating timers, canceling network requests, or cleaning up any subscriptions that were created in componentDidMount().

---

componentWillUnmount() { }

Error boundaries are React components that catch JavaScript errors anywhere in their child component tree, log those errors, and display a fallback UI instead of the component tree that crashed.

Error boundaries catch errors during rendering, in lifecycle methods, and in constructors of the whole tree below them.

---

componentDidCatch() { }

This method is required.

It should be pure, meaning that it does not modify component state, it returns the same result each time it's invoked, and

it does not directly interact with the browser (use lifecycle methods for this)

It must return one of the following types: react elements, string and numbers, portals, null or booleans.

---

render() {

Contains the props that were defined by the caller of this component.

---

console.log(this.props);

---

Contains data specific to this component that may change over time

The state is user-defined, and it should be a plain JavaScript object.

If you don't use it in render(), it shouldn't be in the state.

For example, you can put timer IDs directly on the instance.

Never mutate this.state directly, as calling setState() afterwards may replace the mutation you made.

Treat this.state as if it were immutable.

---

  console.log(this.state);
  return (
    <div>
      {/* Comment goes here */}
      Hello, {this.props.name}!
    </div>
  );
}
}

---

Can be defined as a property on the component class itself, to set the default props for the class.

This is used for undefined props, but not for null props.

---

Component.defaultProps = {
  color: "blue",
};
component = new Component();

---

By default, when your component's state or props change, your component will re-render

If your render() method depends on some other data, you can tell React that the component needs re-rendering by calling forceUpdate().

Normally you should try to avoid all uses of forceUpdate() and only read from this.props and this.state in render().

---

component.forceUpdate(callback);

---

---

---

---

REACT.DOM

• The react-dom package provides DOM-specific methods that can be used at the top level of

• your app and as an escape hatch to get outside of the React model if you need to.

• Most of your components should not need to use this module.

Render a React element into the DOM in the supplied container and return a reference

to the component (or returns null for stateless components).

---

ReactDOM.render(element, container[, callback]);

---

Same as render(), but is used to hydrate a container whose HTML contents were rendered

by ReactDOMServer. React will attempt to attach event listeners to the existing markup.

---

ReactDOM.hydrate(element, container[, callback]);

---

Remove a mounted React component from the DOM and clean up its event handlers and state

If no component was mounted in the container, calling this function does nothing.

Returns true if a component was unmounted and false if there was no component to unmount.

---

ReactDOM.unmountComponentAtNode(container);

---

If this component has been mounted into the DOM, this returns the corresponding native browser

DOM element. This method is useful for reading values out of the DOM, such as form field values

and performing DOM measurements. In most cases, you can attach a ref to the DOM node and avoid

using findDOMNode at all.

---

ReactDOM.findDOMNode(component);

---

Creates a portal. Portals provide a way to render children into a DOM node that exists outside

the hierarchy of the DOM component.

---

---

ReactDOM.createPortal(child, container);

---

---

---

---

REACTDOMSERVER

• The ReactDOMServer object enables you to render components to static markup.

Render a React element to its initial HTML. React will return an HTML string.

---

You can use this method to generate HTML on the server and send the markup down on the initial

request for faster page loads and to allow search engines to crawl your pages for SEO purposes.

---

ReactDOMServer.renderToString(element);

---

Similar to renderToString, except this doesn't create extra DOM attributes that React uses

internally, such as data-reactroot. This is useful if you want to use React as a simple static

page generator, as stripping away the extra attributes can save some bytes.

---

ReactDOMServer.renderToStaticMarkup(element);

---

Render a React element to its initial HTML. Returns a Readable stream that outputs an HTML string

The HTML output by this stream is exactly equal to what ReactDOMServer.renderToString would return.

---

You can use this method to generate HTML on the server and send the markup down on the initial

request for faster page loads and to allow search engines to crawl your pages for SEO purposes.

---

ReactDOMServer.renderToNodeStream(element);

---

Similar to renderToNodeStream, except this doesn't create extra DOM attributes that React uses

internally, such as data-reactroot. This is useful if you want to use React as a simple static

page generator, as stripping away the extra attributes can save some bytes.

---

ReactDOMServer.renderToStaticNodeStream(element)

import PropTypes from 'prop-types';
MyComponent.propTypes = {

---

You can declare that a prop is a specific JS type. By default, these are all optional

optionalArray: PropTypes.array,
optionalBool: PropTypes.bool,
optionalFunc: PropTypes.func,
optionalNumber: PropTypes.number,
optionalObject: PropTypes.object,
optionalString: PropTypes.string,
optionalSymbol: PropTypes.symbol,  Anything that can be rendered: numbers, strings, elements or an array

---

(or fragment) containing these types

optionalNode: PropTypes.node, A React element.

---

optionalElement: PropTypes.element, You can also declare that a prop is an instance of a class. This uses

JS's instanceof operator.

optionalMessage: PropTypes.instanceOf(Message), You can ensure that your prop is limited to specific values by treating

it as an enum.

---

optionalEnum: PropTypes.oneOf(['News', 'Photos']),  An object that could be one of many types
optionalUnion: PropTypes.oneOfType([
  PropTypes.string,
  PropTypes.number,
  PropTypes.instanceOf(Message)
]),  An array of a certain type
optionalArrayOf: PropTypes.arrayOf(PropTypes.number),  An object with property values of a certain type
optionalObjectOf: PropTypes.objectOf(PropTypes.number),  An object taking on a particular shape
optionalObjectWithShape: PropTypes.shape({
  color: PropTypes.string,
  fontSize: PropTypes.number
}),  You can chain any of the above with `isRequired` to make sure a warning

---

is shown if the prop isn't provided

• requiredFunc: PropTypes.func.isRequired, A value of any data type

• requiredAny: PropTypes.any.isRequired, You can also specify a custom validator. It should return an Error

object if the validation fails. Don't console.warn or throw, as this

won't work inside oneOfType.

---

customProp: function(props, propName, componentName) {
  if (!/matchme/.test(props[propName])) {
    return new Error(
      'Invalid prop `' + propName + '` supplied to' +
      ' `' + componentName + '`. Validation failed.'
    );
  }
},

---

You can also supply a custom validator to arrayOf and objectOf

It should return an Error object if the validation fails. The validator

will be called for each key in the array or object. The first two

arguments of the validator are the array or object itself, and the

current item's key.

---

customArrayProp: PropTypes.arrayOf(function(propValue, key, componentName, location, propFullName) {
  if (!/matchme/.test(propValue[key])) {
    return new Error(
      'Invalid prop `' + propFullName + '` supplied to' +
      ' `' + componentName + '`. Validation failed.'
    );
  }
})
};
