Readers may wonder, "Why get into coding a Node.js back end?" (Aside from the learning opportunity, of course.) "Isn't there already an app for that?" If that sounds daunting, the complete Node.js project will be presented at the end readers need only learn as much as they’re interested in learning, and there will be a fair number of gentler explanations of some basics along the way that more experienced readers can skip. It’s also a Node.js back-end tutorial: a chance to learn the basics of back-end JavaScript using the Express framework and the Pug (formerly Jade) template engine. That’s where this project comes in: The opportunity to transform any smartphone-even an old one that’s otherwise useless for lack of updates-into a handy remote for the next Netflix/YouTube/Amazon Prime Video/etc. While exercise is especially important right now, sometimes, there’s nostalgia for the luxury of a good, old-fashioned remote control when the laptop is beyond easy reach. Many of us are consuming more video content than ever before. In both cases the default behavior is to escape the line.The COVID-19 lockdown has many of us stuck at home, perhaps hoping that mere cabin fever is the worst kind of fever we’ll experience. In the second line the paragraph content is a text string concatenated with the title variable. So for example, in the first line below, the content of the h1 tag will be variable title (either defined in the file or passed into the template from Express).

If a tag is followed by the equals sign, the following text is treated as a JavaScript expression. characters like " >" are converted to their HTML code equivalents like " >") to prevent JavaScript injection or cross-site scripting attacks. The values of all attributes are escaped (e.g.

body h1 = title p This is a line with # and # markup. Doctype html html ( lang = "en" ) head title = title script ( type = 'text/javascript' ).
