Implementation Examples

Below you will find three different examples and templates that show you how to use Node.js®. You can find the examples/templates in the version directory javascript/examples/ and /javascript/templates. These scripts are simple examples of how to implement smaller scripts.

You can find more examples in the Node.js® API documentation here.

Note:

For advanced users: You can use npm init instead of copying and modifying one of the templates.
