I was wondering if it was possible to use Node JS inside of HTML, using Android Studio. From what I know it's impossible to use something like express, but even if that was possible, I don't think you can call Node JS functions from it. To be more specific, I need a way to use MongoDB / Mongoose.
I'm really not sure how I would do this, so any help is great.

Following my first question, I realized that the reason I couldn't get anything to work was that I was trying to use the require() method in the browser. In learning that this is not how Node works, I was confused. I understand now that Node is only a run-time environment that allows the use of JavaScript within the console. However, I'm still left with the question of how to achieve the functions of Node within the browser. (i.e. creating a button in the browser that creates a file using Node.) I've installed Browserify but I cannot find a good tutorial on how to use it. I'm very new to Computer Science so please forgive me for the redundant questions. Thanks a lot.
Things do change. Apparently it will be possible to use node.js in the browser soon. You might be interested in this: Run Node.js in the browser
Node as you made the point is server-side runtime environment for js and the browser is client-side. Node.js has many useful built-in functionalities and they are not accessible in browser.
I recommend you to take a look how backend and frontend differs and how do they communicate with themselves. Then I think you will understand how to achieve creating a file by clicking a button in the browser.
Sorry I don't know anything about browserify but it would be better to learn node in cli.
I'm absolute new to this topic. I want to learn Typescript using NodeJS and have some simple questions. NodeJS is working with Javascript, as far as I know, but how do you get an UI? Do you have to create a HTML/CSS Webpage and run it with Typescript? How do you get Images, Options, Buttons in Typescript? How are they implemented in the Code? I found a lot of Tutorials, but they just return "Hello World" and I don't think I have to "write" the whole page in an output in Typescript.
NodeJS is pure server side javascript, you wont build the UI with it, you would serve the html/css/js to the client, and maybe create an API to communicate with the client.
I assume you dont need an example how to create a Node project, as you stated to have read some tutorials about it.
For starters, i would advise to go for NodeJS plus Expressjs on the server, then maybe start to serve simple static websites (like a handwritten 'index.html'). Expressjs makes development especially in the beginning a lot easier. Serving static files would just need something like
app.use(express.static('public'))
..in your server code. If you navigate then to e.g. localhost:3000/test/route, it would look for the /test/route/index.html in your public folder (which should be in your project root)
Then use a framework for client side development.
If you want to use Typescript for the development of the client side of the app, you might want to look into Angular. It is pretty tightly bound to Typescript, but the learning curve is pretty harsh if you are a beginner with this. Other client side frameworks that work well with Typecsript pretty much out-of-the-box or via cli are Vue.js and React, just as examples.
I have a React app that renders markup based on user input and I need to be able to render the markup the same way without a client. I've seen other people accomplish this by using Nodejs, is it possible to access React Components from Node given a reference to a compiled and minified Javascript file (this file is my React code bundled).
Yes, that is certainly possible with something like reactDOMServer. You can read more at: https://reactjs.org/docs/react-dom-server.html
What are you trying to do exactly? Are you trying to do it on a server? Or just on a command line? Are you using any bundlers like Webpack or Parcel?
I want to create a small mini-mart website using all the javascript codes, p5.js for frontend, node.js for backend and mongodb for the database.
Is it good to work with all the javascript codes?
if not, what are other js to work on?
You can definitely do it, although P5 is not that great for frontend... Node.js is good, but unless you just want to build an HTTP server from scratch with the default node.js API you should use something like Express. Also, you should use something like Mongoose for interaction with the Mongo database, since it usually makes everything much easier!
All, I am trying to using third party NodeJS SDK in Titanium Studio. However, I consistently encounter dependency issues, such as util.js, utils.js, ms.js, events.js etc. I tried to add the missing module manually, but it looks like it will become un-tractable as there are so many dependencies.
My questions are :
1. Is that possible to use NodeJS based SDK in Titanium Studio .
2. If so, what is the right approach to include the dependencies.
Thanks a lot!
Titanium can't get Coffee scripts to work natively (assuming you want to deploy the TitaniumWrapper.coffee). A possible solution you may want to try is hooking a plugin http://billdawson.com/titanium_coffee_script/ in order to pre-compile Coffee scripts.
You can also try to embed everything using a Tiwebview that wraps HTML to load mojio-js.js but you would still need to observe events mojio client (like replacing keys, login an user and create a few model instances).
Hope you find the info useful and can serve for further research.
