The Role of NPM in Node.js Development

The Role of NPM in Node.js Development: A Comprehensive Guide

Introduction NPM, which stands for Node Package Manager, is a fundamental tool in the Node.js ecosystem. It serves as the default package manager for Node.js and provides a way to manage and share packages (libraries or modules) of reusable code. Understanding how to effectively use NPM is crucial for any Node.js developer, as it simplifies the process of managing dependencies and automating…

Mini React.js Tips #2 | Resources ✨

Continuing the #mini react tips series, it's time to understand what is going on with the folders and files in the default React project - they can be a bit confusing as to what folder/file does what~!

What you'll need:

know how to create a React project >> click

already taken a look around the files and folders themselves

What does the file structure look like?

✤ node_modules folder: contains all the dependencies and packages (tools, resources, code, or software libraries created by others) needed for your project to run properly! These dependencies are usually managed by a package manager, such as npm (Node Package Manager)!

✤ public folder: Holds static assets (files that don't change dynamically and remain fixed) that don't require any special processing before using them! These assets are things like images, icons, or files that can be used directly without going through any additional steps.

✤ src folder: This is where your main source code resides. 'src' is short for source.

✤ assets folder: This folder stores static assets such as images, logos, and similar files. This folder is handy for organizing and accessing these non-changing elements in your project.

✤ App.css: This file contains styles specific to the App component (we will learn what 'components' are in React in the next tips post~!).

✤ App.jsx: This is the main component of your React application. It's where you define the structure and behavior of your app. The .jsx extension means the file uses a mixture of both HTML and JavaScript - open the file and see for yourself~!

✤ index.css: This file contains global styles that apply to the entire project. Any styles defined in this file will be applied universally across different parts of your project, providing a consistent look and feel.

✤ main.jsx: This is the entry point of your application! In this file, the React app is rendered, meaning it's the starting point where the React components are translated into the actual HTML elements displayed in the browser. Would recommend not to delete as a beginner!!

✤ .eslintrc.cjs: This file is the ESLint configuration. ESLint (one of the dependencies installed) is a tool that helps maintain coding standards and identifies common errors in your code. This configuration file contains rules and settings that define how ESLint should analyze and check your code.

✤ .gitignore: This file specifies which files and folders should be ignored by Git when version-controlling your project. It helps to avoid committing unnecessary files. The node_modules folder is typically ignored.

✤ index.html: This is the main HTML file that serves as the entry point for your React application. It includes the necessary scripts and links to load your app.

✤ package.json: A metadata file for your project. It includes essential information about the project, such as its name, version, description, and configuration details. Also, it holds a list of dependencies needed for the project to run - when someone else has the project on their local machine and wants to set it up, they can use the information in the file to install all the listed dependencies via npm install.

✤ package-lock.json: This file's purpose is to lock down and record the exact versions of each installed dependency/package in your project. This ensures consistency across different environments when other developers or systems install the dependencies.

✤ README.md: This file typically contains information about your project, including how to set it up, use it, and any other relevant details.

✤ vite.config.js: This file contains the configuration settings for Vite, the build tool used for this React project. It may include options for development and production builds, plugins, and other build-related configurations.

Congratulations! You know what the default folders and files do! Have a play around and familiarise yourself with them~!

how do I set up vsc correctly? I always get project file not found error and I can't find a solution on the internet. Lmk if you have a fix :(

Hi! Thank you for the ask! I wonder in what situation this happens to you? When trying to open the file? Or when trying to run some command? Could be different reasons so maybe my answer won't really help you... But! I've had this issue sometimes; for example, once, I was trying to run a python script, but it wouldn't let me.

Here, the issue is that the folder I have open in VS code is a parent folder to the folder where the file I'm trying to run is located. Here, I'm running the script with the help of the "play" button on the top right.

What it does, I suppose, is try to run the file day-3.py in the directory/folder that is currently open in VS code, but! In the folder advent_of_code_23, there is no file called day-3.py!

So, your issue could potentially be that you are accidentally running your script in a parent folder where it can't be located, since it's in a child folder.

If you still want to have a parent folder up and running, and see all your children folders, you could use the terminal to manually access and run your script.

Step 1: open a new terminal (top option)

Step 2: in the terminal, type ls (stands for list) to see all the folders in your parent folder

Step 3: type cd (stands for change directory) and then the name of the folder you want to navigate into, where the file you want to run is located. (TIP! You can use the tab button on your keyboard to autofill the folder name)

Step 4: Now you can see that your location has changed to be <C:\...\parent-folder-name\child-folder-name>, which means you are now in another folder! So for me, now the location is <C:\...\advent_of_code_23\day-3>, which means I can now directly access everything in this folder! In my screenshot I also typed LS to see what the contents of my folder is.

Step 5: In here, I can now run my python file by typing python day-3.py

If you're working in another language, I would recommend googling "how to start a [language name] in the terminal". Or, if you're running for example a React project, you may want to look in your package.json to see what scripts are available, and run those with your preferred package manager, such as yarn or npm.

In my case, this project is set up with yarn, so I would run this using the yarn dev command.

I hope this has been somewhat helpful, and if it didn't resolve your issue feel free to reach out to me personally and I'd be happy to take a look at your specific case. I can't promise a definite fix, but I can promise that I'll try! 🩷

I came across this website where you like? enter anything and it'll do it with AI. so i told it to show me a picture of a really good sandwich.

and what it did was generate code that would get a random photo of a sandwich from some photo website. (The images are not AI generated). It automatically generates that description too.

So then i told it to write javascript code for a game of pong (I'll paste the code at the end of this post) and it gave me this:

which does nothing. And idk why but I was kinda scared it would actually deliver me a functioning game lol. Probably bc it would take me at least an hour to code a simple pong game, when this generated in 30 seconds.

So i launched the code in vsc and it DOES do something. the ball bounces around but it made the ball white for some reason? so this is what it does after only changing the ball color.

and look at the code, its all formatted and commented and stuff. And i mean, it looks like its at least 85% there, it just needs movable paddles and fixing the ball to bounce into the side walls.

idk i just think this is pretty cool. and now i will be fixing this ai code into a working pong game

Here is the ai generated pong code:
