Welcome to Reinventing the Wheel! This repository contains code samples where I explore and learn advanced Node.js concepts by building simple implementations of common tools and functionalities.
In this repository, you'll find various code snippets and implementations of fundamental Node.js concepts and utilities. These snippets are not meant to be production-ready solutions but rather serve as educational exercises aimed at deepening my understanding of Node.js development.
In the multipart-deprecated.js and multipart.js files, you'll find implementations of a multipart form data parser. This parser is capable of handling multipart requests, parsing both form fields and file uploads.
The formData.js file contains a simple form data parser that parses form data from POST requests with the application/x-www-form-urlencoded content type. It uses the querystring module to parse the request body.
In the jsonParser.js file, you'll find an implementation of a JSON data parser. This parser extracts JSON data from requests with the application/json content type and parses it into JavaScript objects.
The router.js file contains a basic implementation of a router for a HTTP server. It allows for defining routes for different HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) and handles incoming requests accordingly.
These code samples serve as a hands-on learning experience where I delve into the internals of Node.js and gain a deeper understanding of how various functionalities work under the hood. By reinventing common tools and concepts, I aim to solidify my knowledge and skills as a Node.js developer.
