Study Notes
Connecting to MySQL with Node.js
- Define the name of the database in the
mysql.createConnection
object. - Use the
con.connect
method to establish a connection to the database. - The
con.query
method is used to execute SQL queries on the database.
Creating Tables
- Use the
CREATE TABLE
statement to create a new table in the database. - Specify the table name and define the columns with their data types.
- Include primary key column for unique identification.
Primary Key
- Primary key is a unique key for each record in the table.
- Use
INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY
for primary key column that automatically increments for each new record.
Node.js Events
- Events represent actions on a computer, like connection establishment or file opening.
- Node.js objects, such as
readStream
, can fire events during operations. - The
Events
module provides methods for creating, firing, and listening to custom events.
Keys in React
- Keys are used to uniquely identify elements in a list within a React component.
- Keys help React track changes and efficiently update the virtual DOM.
- Keys should be consistent and unique within a list, but not necessarily globally unique.
Lifecycle of React Components
- React components have a lifecycle with three main phases: mounting, updating, and unmounting.
- Each phase has specific methods that get called during the component's lifecycle.
Mounting
- Mounting refers to adding elements to the DOM (Document Object Model).
- The following methods are called during the mounting phase:
-
constructor()
: Initializes the component's state and other initial values. -
getDerivedStateFromProps()
: Sets the component's state based on the initial props before rendering. -
render()
: Renders the component to the DOM. -
componentDidMount()
: Executes after the component is added to the DOM.
-
Updating
- Updating occurs when the component's state or props change, requiring the component to re-render.
- The following methods are called during the updating phase:
-
getDerivedStateFromProps()
: Updates the component's state based on changes to props before rerendering. -
render()
: Rerenders the component to reflect the updates. -
componentDidUpdate()
: Executes after the component is updated in the DOM.
-
Unmounting
- Unmounting occurs when a component is removed from the DOM.
- The
componentWillUnmount()
method is called before the component is removed.
Hooks
- Hooks enable you to use React features like state and lifecycle methods within functional components.
- Two main rules for hooks:
- Only call hooks at the top level of a React function.
- Only call hooks from React functions.
useState() Hook
-
useState()
hook provides state management within functional components. - It returns an array containing the current state value and a function to update the state.
Express (Node.js Framework)
- Express is a popular web framework for Node.js that enables creating web applications.
- Use
app.get('/hello')
to handle GET requests for the/hello
route. - Use
app.post('/hello')
to handle POST requests for the/hello
route. - The
app.all('/test')
method manages any HTTP method for the/test
route. - Use Express Router (
express.Router
) to separate route definitions into separate files for better organization.
Middleware in Express
- Middleware functions are executed before the request is sent to the route handler.
- Middleware can modify the request or response object or perform authentication or authorization.
- Middleware can be defined using
app.use()
for specific routes or globally for the application. - Middleware can help with error handling, logging, and authentication.
