Start a project with Nodejs

[DheerajMalisetty]

Hi, I am Dheeraj, a student of Amrita Vishwa vidhyapeetham and also a member of amfoss. I want to start a project using Nodejs, but I don't know how to start. My project idea is a basic Hostel Management system.

I have a basic knowledge of Html, CSS. I have previously done a small project on Domain name verification(which validates the domain) in Nodejs but didn't have a clear idea of what I am doing, and I didn't follow a certain a pattern to build.

So, Can you please help me on which path to follow to build a Nodejs web app.

Hey @DheerajMalisetty,

It's very easy to build web apps using NodeJS. There are a lot of ways to do this but the best way is to make your front-end and back-end independent to each other( project wise ). i.e build your front-end with either AngularJS or ReactJS and your back-end with either ExpressJS or Loopback ( there are a lot of front-end & back-end frameworks out there... ).

Then you can use API's to transfer data between front-end and back-end.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have a small doubt, how did you start your Nodejs, I mean with what project?
