Where do I get a tutorial to create a simple website using CouchDB only without any other scripting language. Is it possible to store the HTML, CSS and the Javascript within the document?
Yes, you can store HTML, CSS and Javascript in view documents in CouchDB. Check free online book: http://guide.couchdb.org/
Surprised no one else mentioned this but you can create a "couchapp" which sounds like exactly what you want. CoudchDB will serve up the HTML,CSS, images, scripts directly. http://couchapp.org/page/index

Wanted to generate a PDF from a URL
(https://10.1.40.117/print/e71b7c0f-4ed1-4d0d-b868-87418d398a4a).
Please help me with the links which is used to do this using nodeJS
I use Puppeteer to generate PDFs and their documentation has many examples. Since it uses Chrom(e|ium), it closes match my development environment as well which is nice when building the web pages.
For those who might stumble on this question nowadays:
There is cool tool called Gotenberg — Docker-powered stateless API for converting HTML, Markdown and Office documents to PDF. It supports converting URLs via Google Chrome headless.
And I am happen to be an author of JS/TS client for Gotenberg — gotenberg-js-client
I welcome you to use it :)
UPD:
Gotenberg has new website now — https://gotenberg.dev
I have a requirement where i have a config file which has a bunch of properties. The user has to download the property file from the server using a browser. Some of these properties have to be changed based on the user's input and then the file has to be downloaded. This basically fits the perfect description of having templates and then at run time generating a file by replacing the properties provided by the user. How can i achieve this using node js. Any pointer will be deeply appreciated. Please pardon my limited knowledge of MEAN stack.
Template engines are a common thing and it's quite easy to use one with express.
I suggest you start with the docs on using template engines with express. They also have a wiki entry with a list of available engines.
Most template engines are meant to generate HTML, if you want to output something else (even plaintext) it can be a bit tricky sometimes.
Otherwise the choice mainly depends on what your familiar with. I can recommend Mozilla Nunjucks.
YUI user guides are really nice, please visit http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/event/ for example,I just wanna write documents like that. My question is: these documents were generated by some tools like Dockbook,Sphix or written by hand?
The YUI User Guides are generated from Mustache templates using a tool called Selleck. Selleck is a Node.js tool that generates pages from different templates based on the information provided in a component.json file and a predefined folder structure. One of the coolest features of this tool is that it has a --server mode which runs a local web server in which you can see the changes you made live by just refreshing the page.
You can check it out at http://yui.github.com/selleck/.
If I use couchDB with a Javascript webpage. Do I still need PHP?
How about authentication? Can this all be done with couchDB?
You don't need PHP to work with CouchDB since there are several JavaScript based client libraries or you can try to look at couchapp.
Hi
I am creating a website using HTML and CSS only and I want to add the following feature:
Any person visiting the site should be able to post a message and that message should appear below with his name and time of posting.
How do I go about creating it?
Please help.
Thanks In advance
You won't be able to do this using HTML and CSS only (at least not in any sane way).
You will need a database of some sort (e.g. MySql, Microsoft Access etc) and you will need some sort of server-side scripting language such as PHP, .NET, Ruby etc.
I suggest picking a language and then finding some tutorials. Most tutorials will take you through using a database.
This is completely impossible using HTML and CSS only. You will have to use a server-side scripting language.
