Express Assignment Solutions
1. Hello World Express Application
Create a simple Express app that listens on port 3000 and responds with "Hello, Students!" when
accessed.
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.send('Hello, Students!');
});
app.listen(3000, () => {
console.log('Server is running on port 3000');
});
2. Express App with Protected Routes (Authentication Middleware)
This example uses a simple middleware to protect routes. In a real-world scenario, replace the
authentication logic with proper checks (like JWT or session validation).
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
// Simple authentication middleware
function authMiddleware(req, res, next) {
const auth = req.headers.authorization;
if (auth === 'Bearer secrettoken') {
next();
} else {
res.status(401).send('Unauthorized');
}
}
app.get('/public', (req, res) => {
res.send('Public Route');
});
app.get('/protected', authMiddleware, (req, res) => {
res.send('Protected Route');
});
app.listen(3000, () => {
console.log('Server running on port 3000');
});
3. RESTful API for Task Management (CRUD Operations)
A basic REST API to manage tasks (in-memory array for demonstration):
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
app.use(express.json());
let tasks = [];
let id = 1;
// Create Task
app.post('/tasks', (req, res) => {
const task = { id: id++, ...req.body };
tasks.push(task);
res.status(201).json(task);
});
// Read All Tasks
app.get('/tasks', (req, res) => {
res.json(tasks);
});
// Read Task by ID
app.get('/tasks/:id', (req, res) => {
const task = tasks.find(t => t.id == req.params.id);
if (task) res.json(task);
else res.status(404).send('Task not found');
});
// Update Task
app.put('/tasks/:id', (req, res) => {
const task = tasks.find(t => t.id == req.params.id);
if (task) {
Object.assign(task, req.body);
res.json(task);
} else {
res.status(404).send('Task not found');
}
});
// Delete Task
app.delete('/tasks/:id', (req, res) => {
const index = tasks.findIndex(t => t.id == req.params.id);
if (index !== -1) {
tasks.splice(index, 1);
res.sendStatus(204);
} else {
res.status(404).send('Task not found');
}
});
app.listen(3000, () => {
console.log('Task API running on port 3000');
});
4. Express App with Error Handling Middleware
Demonstrates how to handle and log errors in Express.
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
throw new Error('Something went wrong!');
});
// Error handling middleware
app.use((err, req, res, next) => {
console.error(err.stack); // Log error
res.status(500).send('Internal Server Error');
});
app.listen(3000, () => {
console.log('Server running on port 3000');
});
5. Express App Sending Emails with Nodemailer
Install Nodemailer:
npm install nodemailer
Example code:
const express = require('express');
const nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
const app = express();
app.use(express.json());
const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
service: 'gmail',
auth: {
user: 'your.email@gmail.com',
pass: 'yourpassword'
}
});
app.post('/send-email', (req, res) => {
const { to, subject, text } = req.body;
const mailOptions = {
from: 'your.email@gmail.com',
to,
subject,
text
};
transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, (error, info) => {
if (error) {
return res.status(500).send(error.toString());
}
res.send('Email sent: ' + info.response);
});
});
app.listen(3000, () => {
console.log('Email app running on port 3000');
});
6. Express Calculator API (Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division)
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
app.get('/add', (req, res) => {
const { a, b } = req.query;
res.send(`Result: ${Number(a) + Number(b)}`);
});
app.get('/subtract', (req, res) => {
const { a, b } = req.query;
res.send(`Result: ${Number(a) - Number(b)}`);
});
app.get('/multiply', (req, res) => {
const { a, b } = req.query;
res.send(`Result: ${Number(a) * Number(b)}`);
});
app.get('/divide', (req, res) => {
const { a, b } = req.query;
if (Number(b) === 0) {
res.status(400).send('Cannot divide by zero');
} else {
res.send(`Result: ${Number(a) / Number(b)}`);
}
});
app.listen(3000, () => {
console.log('Calculator API running on port 3000');
});
