Introduction to Node Bourne

Node Bourne is a powerful library designed to enhance Node.js applications with a variety of useful APIs. This library allows developers to write cleaner and more efficient code. In this post, we will explore some of the most useful APIs provided by Node Bourne along with code snippets to help you get started.

Getting Started

Before we dive into the APIs, let’s start by installing Node Bourne:

  npm install node-bourne

API Examples

File Handling

The following example demonstrates how to read from and write to a file:

  const { readFileSync, writeFileSync } = require('node-bourne');

  // Reading from a file
  const data = readFileSync('example.txt', 'utf8');
  console.log(data);

  // Writing to a file
  writeFileSync('example.txt', 'New content!');
  console.log('File has been updated.');

HTTP Requests

Node Bourne makes it easy to handle HTTP requests:

  const { createServer } = require('node-bourne');

  const server = createServer((req, res) => {
    res.statusCode = 200;
    res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
    res.end('Hello, world!');
  });

  server.listen(3000, () => {
    console.log('Server is running on port 3000');
  });

Data Manipulation

Data manipulation is straightforward with Node Bourne:

  const { filter, map } = require('node-bourne');

  const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
  const evenNumbers = filter(numbers, n => n % 2 === 0);
  console.log(evenNumbers); // Output: [2, 4]

  const squaredNumbers = map(numbers, n => n * n);
  console.log(squaredNumbers); // Output: [1, 4, 9, 16, 25]

Event Handling

Event handling is simple with Node Bourne’s event emitter:

  const { EventEmitter } = require('node-bourne');
  const emitter = new EventEmitter();

  emitter.on('event', () => {
    console.log('An event occurred!');
  });

  emitter.emit('event');

Building an Application

Let’s create a simple application using the APIs introduced above. This application will read a file, log its contents, and start a server to serve that file:

  const { readFileSync, createServer } = require('node-bourne');

  const data = readFileSync('example.txt', 'utf8');

  const server = createServer((req, res) => {
    res.statusCode = 200;
    res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
    res.end(data);
  });

  server.listen(3000, () => {
    console.log('Server is running on port 3000');
  });

With these examples, you should have a good understanding of how to use Node Bourne APIs to enhance your Node.js applications. Happy coding!
