Synchronous and Asynchronous File Delete, Read, Write, Append in NodeJS

Synchronous and Asynchronous File Delete in NodeJS

Synchronous Delete File



const fs = require('fs');



// Unlink is synchronous while unlinkSync is asynchronous.



// Unlink returns error or nothing. If nothing then task is successful. If error, task is unsuccessful.



fs.unlink('./test5.txt', err => {



    if (err) {



        console.log(err);



    } else {



        console.log("Done synchronously.");



    }



});



console.log("Independent line");
Asynchronous Delete File



const fs = require('fs');



try {



    fs.unlinkSync('./test5.txt');



} catch (err) {



    console.log(err);



} finally {



    console.log("Done operation!");



}



console.log("Independent line");

Synchronous and Asynchronous File Read in NodeJS

Synchronous Read File



const fs = require('fs');



fs.readFile('./testfile.txt', "utf8", (err, data) => {



    if (err) {



        console.log.apply(err);



    } else {



        console.log(data);



    }



});



console.log("independent line");
Asynchronous Read File



const fs = require('fs');



try {



    const content = fs.readFileSync('./testfile.txt', { encoding: "utf8" });



} catch (err) {



    console.log(err);



} finally {



    console.log("Done operation!");



}



console.log("Independent line");

Synchronous and Asynchronous File Write in NodeJS

Synchronous Write File



const fs = require('fs');



fs.writeFile('./testfile.txt', "Content", err => {



    if (err) {



        console.log(err);



    } else {



        console.log("Successful writing!");



    }



});



console.log("independent line");
Asynchronous Read File



const fs = require('fs');



try {



    fs.writeFileSync('./testfile.txt', "Async Content");



} catch (err) {



    console.log(err);



} finally {



    console.log("Done operation!")



}



console.log("independent line");

Synchronous and Asynchronous File Append in NodeJS

Synchronous Append File



const fs = require('fs');



fs.appendFile('./testfile.txt', "Content", err => {



    if (err) {



        console.log(err);



    } else {



        console.log("Successful updating!");



    }



});



console.log("independent line");
Asynchronous Append File



const fs = require('fs');



try {



    fs.appendFileSync('./testfile.txt', "Append Async Content");



} catch (err) {



    console.log(err);



} finally {



    console.log('Done Operation!')



}



console.log("independent line");
That's it!

Python - List - Append, Count, Extend, Index, Insert, Pop, Remove, Reverse, Sort

🐍 Advance List List is widely used and it's functionalities are heavily useful. Append Adds one element at the end of the list. Syntax list1.append(value) Input l1 = [1, 2, 3] l1.append(4) l1 Output [1, 2, 3, 4] append can be used to add any datatype in a list. It can even add list inside list. Caution: Append does not return anything. It just appends the list. Count .count(value) counts the number of occurrences of an element in the list. Syntax list1.count(value) Input l1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 3] l1.count(3) Output 2 It returns 0 if the value is not found in the list. Extend .count(value) counts the number of occurrences of an element in the list. Syntax list1.extend(list) Input l1 = [1, 2, 3] l1.extend([4, 5]) Output [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] If we use append, entire list will be added to the first list like one element. Extend, i nstead of considering a list as one element, it joins the two lists one after other. Append works in the following way. Input l1 = [1, 2, 3] l1.append([4, 5]) Output...

Difference between .exec() and .execPopulate() in Mongoose?

Here I answer what is the difference between .exec() and .execPopulate() in Mongoose? .exec() is used with a query while .execPopulate() is used with a document Syntax for .exec() is as follows: Model.query() . populate ( 'field' ) . exec () // returns promise . then ( function ( document ) { console . log ( document ); }); Syntax for .execPopulate() is as follows: fetchedDocument . populate ( 'field' ) . execPopulate () // returns promise . then ( function ( document ) { console . log ( document ); }); When working with individual document use .execPopulate(), for model query use .exec(). Both returns a promise. One can do without .exec() or .execPopulate() but then has to pass a callback in populate.

Resolve: Uncaught TypeError: firebase.database is not a function

If you are getting the error: Uncaught TypeError: firebase.database is not a function Resolve it by including firebase-database.js in your html page as follows: <!-- The core Firebase JS SDK is always required and must be listed first --> <script defer src = "https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/6.2.4/firebase-app.js" ></script> <script defer src = "https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/3.1.0/firebase-database.js" ></script> That is it. Let me know if this was helpful.
