About the Node.js category

Development Dock Back-end Development Node.js
1

This category is dedicated to all discussions related to Node.js, a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine. Whether you’re building APIs, working on real-time applications, or exploring new tools and libraries in the Node.js ecosystem, this is the place for you!

What to Post Here

  • Questions about Node.js core functionality, such as fs, http, path, or child_process.
  • Discussions about popular Node.js frameworks (e.g., Express, NestJS, Fastify).
  • Debugging issues in your Node.js applications.
  • Best practices for managing asynchronous code, streams, or modules.
  • Guidance on integrating Node.js with databases, microservices, or other back-end components.

What NOT to Post Here

  • Front-end-related questions (e.g., React, Vue, or Angular) unless directly tied to a Node.js back-end setup.
  • Questions unrelated to Node.js, such as general JavaScript issues. These belong in the JavaScript category.
  • Job postings or promotion of paid services.
  • Off-topic or vague questions without context or clear code examples.

Guidelines

  1. Be Specific: Include as much detail as possible in your questions. Share code snippets, error messages, and what you’ve already tried.
  2. Use Tags: Add tags like expressjs, nestjs, or socket.io to make your post discoverable.
  3. Cite Resources: If your question is related to a specific library, link to its official documentation (e.g., Node.js Docs).

Examples

  • Good Post: “How can I manage file uploads in an Express application? [Code snippet included]”
  • Bad Post: “File uploads don’t work. Help?”

Let’s keep this category focused, supportive, and valuable for all Node.js developers!
