Having built a web app with Express, you can turn it into a desktop app that opens in its own window. Electron supplies that window and runs your Express server inside the app, so nobody has to start a separate…
A weather app takes a city name from the user, fetches the current conditions from a weather service and shows them on a page. In this project, an Express server asks Weatherstack’s API for the weather and returns the finished…
A status box, like the one on Facebook, lets a user type an update and see it appear in a feed. This project builds one with Express handling the requests and MySQL saving each status so it’s still there after…
A route can need the same check on every request, such as making sure a required header is present. In Express, middleware is a function that runs before the route handler and either sends a response or passes the request…
Every Express app has to decide which code handles each URL a visitor requests. A route pairs an HTTP method, such as GET or POST, with a URL path and runs its handler when both match. This part of the…
The browser should get an order list, not a dump of the data your Express route holds. I’m drawn to EJS’s split between JavaScript that controls a template and tags that print values. Pass the route’s title and order data…
The root route in app.js can return “Hello from Express” as soon as the one-route server is running. That first response makes me curious how little project structure the route needs. Decide whether to keep the app in one file…
Super+Ctrl+F is Kazam’s shortcut for finishing a recording. I’m glad Kazam separates Screenshot mode from the local video capture you came for. In Kazam, choose Screencast for a local video and decide what should appear in frame. After capture, save…
The Atom .deb on GitHub looks like a way to install the editor on Ubuntu 14.04. I wanted to find out whether that route still works. Look at the repository behind the old Ubuntu instructions to see why that recipe…
A single trace identifier appears on the checkout span and both of its children in the local output. I find that detail compelling because it keeps the request’s separate operations tied together. Connect a nested delay with the Kubernetes workload…
