Node.js is a runtime environment which allows us to build backend and frontend applications using JavaScript

  • But it is more often used as a backend application
  • Let us understand this definition via client server architecture:

  • Frontend part deals with user interaction, A user can see only frontend part of application via web browsers.
  • Accepting the request from frontend server, searching the data from database and sending back the response to client’s browser is done by backend application.
  • This Backend application is written in javascript and complied using Node.js runtime environment
  • So, now you might have developed conceptual understanding of Node.js, so next lets see the core concepts of Node.js.

Working of Node.js:

  • Node.js works as a Single-threaded, Non-blocking and, in Asynchronous Manner.
  • Lets see this with diagram:
  • Node.js collects all these request in a single thread via events, so when the first event is being processed, it does not wait for the response but simply continues with the next request. This reduces the waiting time and cost.

To understand the core concepts of node.js have a look at this video:https://youtu.be/bOYFJrbSFsQ

To know the basics of JavaScript have a look at this video: https://youtu.be/o1IaduQICO0
