How to Plugin Html and css using Express (Node JS Framework)

-

Express is a Node JS Framework for Web based application. Express can be used to plugin static resources in the web project mainly the html and css files.

We will see here how can we plugin these files using express with example.

Example To Plugin Html CSS

Before we get started on these, certain pre-requisite packages need to be installed.

One is the Node js itself which can be easily installed from online. it will be available as a exe and can be installed with default settings just like normal application.

Once the Node js is installed we can verify if the installation is proper with the help of command node --version in the powershell.

Node JS version check

Once Node is installed we need to install the required node packages using the node packet manager(npm).

Some of the packages required for this will be express, which can be installed with the help of commands npm init and npm install express.

We will see the progress of the installation in the PowerShell window where we have executed the command. Once the installation is done the installed package version is added to the package.json file which gets created during the npm init phase.

Package file for node

We can add the following code to the app.js startup file which is created during the init phase.

Referring html files in the express app

In the arguments for path.join() we have to specify the relative path of the folder where the html and css file resides as in my case its "../_html_css".Then run the node server with the command node <startup js file name> in the PowerShell.

Creating RESTful Minimal WebAPI in .Net 6 in an Easy Manner! | FastEndpoints

  We might have developed Web APIs using MVC Controllers where we used to give Route Path Attributes to the Controller and  to identify individual methods we used to provide Actions in the Route. With the Controller approach we need to write boiler plate code in separate files which deals with the Configuration of the Web Service. Those who have worked in Node js would be aware of how easy it is to create a Web API and expose different Endpoints without the need of so much boiler plate code. Here we are going to discuss of similar approach for creating a Web API in .Net6 using FastEndpoints. Under the hood it uses Minimal API concept which tries to reduce the dependencies required to achieve a particular task. This approach is more suitable in the case of Microservice Architecture where we want to keep the dependencies to minimum. Must Read : Fluent API and Data Annotations What are FastEndpoints? FastEndpoints is a Framework compatible with .Net 6 which allows to build a...

Introduction Heap memory corruption is a critical issue that can lead to application crashes, data loss, and even security vulnerabilities. Detecting and addressing heap memory corruption early is crucial for maintaining the stability and security of Windows applications. In this blog post, we will explore how to detect heap memory corruption using two powerful tools: DebugDiag and AppVerifier. Must Read : synchronization in C++20 . Understanding Heap Memory Corruption Heap memory is a dynamically allocated memory space used by applications to store data at runtime. Heap memory corruption occurs when an application writes data beyond the allocated memory boundaries , leading to memory leaks, crashes, and unpredictable behavior. Detecting such corruption manually can be time-consuming and complex, making automated tools invaluable for identifying and diagnosing these issues. What is PageHeap? PageHeap specifically focuses on detecting heap-related problems, like heap overflows, heap und...

How to dynamically add Properties in C# .NET?

There are certain situations where we have to create object dynamically with properties added to the object dynamically. Data related to these properties may be coming in from external sources like a file or from any other serialized format. We can achieve this with the help of reflection, but it is bit complex and should have some prior knowledge of Reflection. What is meant by Dynamic Creation of Properties in c#? Dynamic creation of properties means at the time of writing the code, programmer is not aware of the properties which can be part of the object and its value. For Example there may be some data which needs to be read from say xml file, In this case there should be some organized way by which we can represent the data, This can be in the form of a object. Content of this object and the properties cannot be deduced while writing the application, it needs to be constructed from the xml file which is read when the application runs. Expando Object Expando Object comes to the res...
