Node.js Project Structure

Wendi's Web - Node.JS: Basic Project Structure

Review:

• public_html is available to the public (hence the name)
• anyone who knows the domain name can visit the contents of the public_html directory
• you don’t want node.js projects here (do you want potential hackers seeing your code??)

Node.js projects should NOT go in the public_html directory

• that’s why we created /nodeapps (or whatever you used) in the parent of public_html

Node.js apps have a different structure that you’re used to for web applications and web sites

recall:

• structure for regular apps https://terminallearning.com/devHtml/introSiteStruc.html

Basic Routing with Node.js

Wendi's Web - Node.JS: Routing Requests

route = how an app should respond to a request to a specific url

• an app would route a request to a home page differently than it would route a request to submit login credentials
