Data Chunks in Node.js
Data chunks in Node.js or any other language can be defined as a fragment of data that is sent to all the servers by the client. The servers make a stream of these chunks and form a buffer stream. This buffer stream is then converted into meaningful data.
Syntax
request.on('eventName', [callback] )Parameters
The parameters are described below −
eventName − It is the name of the event that will be fired.
callback − Callback function to handle any error if it occurs.
Example
Create a file with the name "index.js" and copy the following code snippet. After creating the file, use the command "node index.js" to run this code.
// Data Chunk Example in Node
// Importing the http module
const http = require('http');
// Creating a server
const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
const url = req.url;
const method = req.method;
if (url === '/') {
// Defining the HTML page
res.write('<html>');
res.write('<head><title>Enter Message</title><head>');
res.write(`<body><form action="/message" method="POST">
<input type="text" name="message"></input>
<button type="submit">Send</button></form></body></html>`);
res.write('</html>');
return res.end();
}
// POST Request for sending data
if (url === '/message' && method === 'POST') {
const body = [];
req.on('data', (chunk) => {
// Saving the chunk data at server
body.push(chunk);
console.log(body)
});
req.on('end', () => {
// Parsing the chunk data in buffer
const parsedBody = Buffer.concat(body).toString();
const message = parsedBody.split('=')[1];
// Printing the data
console.log(message);
});
res.statusCode = 302;
res.setHeader('Location', '/');
return res.end();
}
});
// Starting the server
server.listen(3000);Output
