How to Use File-Based Storage in Node.js with TekCast

🚀 New TekCast Episode: File-Based Storage — Working with Data Not every project needs a full database! In this episode of JavaScript on the Server, we explore how to persist data using the filesystem in Node.js 💾 You’ll learn how to: ✅ Read and write JSON files asynchronously with fs/promises ✅ Implement CRUD operations ✅ Handle data safely and efficiently ✅ Understand when (and when not) to use file-based storage 🎥 Watch the episode: 👉 https://lnkd.in/gtP5gmsn 💡 Previous TekCasts series: • JavaScript for Beginners: https://lnkd.in/gryqJ7_N • JavaScript in the Browser: https://lnkd.in/gpmjpesm #JavaScript #NodeJS #WebDevelopment #CodingEducation #TekCasts #LearnToCode

🚀 New TekCasts Release! Every web server needs to know how to respond when someone visits a URL, clicks a link, or submits a form. That’s where routing comes in. In this new episode — Routing Basics — we’ll explore how to: ✅ Map URLs to server responses ✅ Handle GET vs. POST requests ✅ Serve different formats (HTML, JSON, etc.) This is the foundation for APIs, web apps, and dynamic content. 👉 Watch now: https://lnkd.in/dqQdy_2z #JavaScript #Nodejs #WebDevelopment #APIs #LearnToCode #BackendDevelopment

🧹🐱 Introducing CleanCat — a simple CLI tool to keep your Mac’s storage clean and happy. If you’re a Mac developer like me, you’ve probably hit that annoying “low storage” message because of endless node_modules, npm caches, or leftover Homebrew files. That’s why I built CleanCat — a lightweight CLI tool that helps you reclaim space without messing with your important files. What it does: Finds and removes Node.js, npm, Yarn, and Homebrew caches Shows you how much space you’re using before cleaning Always asks before deleting anything (no surprises) Runs fast with a clean, minimal interface It focuses on safe-to-delete cache files, so you don’t have to worry about losing project data — just the junk that piles up over time. 👉 Try it out here: https://lnkd.in/gWWQtXHH If you’ve ever run out of space mid-project, CleanCat might save your day. 😺 #NodeJS #CLI #MacOS #DeveloperTools #OpenSource #CleanCat

Started my Node.js Series Today! — JavaScript on the Server 💻 While learning, I was genuinely shocked 🤯 to find out that the V8 engine, which executes JavaScript, is written in C++ — and can actually be embedded in any C++ program! Here’s what I learned today 👇 🔹 Server: A server is simply a remote computer that provides services, data, or programs to other computers (clients) over a network. 🔹 IP Address: A unique number that identifies every device connected to the internet. 🔹 V8 Engine: Written in C++ Compiles JS into machine code (low-level code) so the CPU can understand it. Follows ECMAScript standards to maintain JS consistency across environments. 🔹 Node.js: It’s basically a C++ application with V8 embedded in it, but with superpowers — like API calls, database connections, and file system access, which pure V8 cannot do alone. 💡 Ever wonder how your JS code “comes alive”? The V8 engine converts it into machine/assembly code, turning your scripts into real CPU instructions. Feeling amazed by how deeply JS integrates with systems through Node.js 🔥 Excited for what’s next in this series! #NodeJS #JavaScript #V8Engine #BackendDevelopment #LearningInPublic #100DaysOfCode
