How do you read and write files in Node.js?
← All Node.js questions
Re-explain
Node.js provides both synchronous and asynchronous methods for file operations:
const fs = require('fs');
// Asynchronous (recommended)
fs.readFile('input.txt', 'utf8', (err, data) => {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('File content:', data);
});
fs.writeFile('output.txt', 'Hello World', (err) => {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('File written successfully');
});
// Synchronous (blocking)
try {
const data = fs.readFileSync('input.txt', 'utf8');
fs.writeFileSync('output.txt', data.toUpperCase());
} catch (err) {
console.error('Error:', err);
}
// Promise-based
const fsPromises = require('fs').promises;
const data = await fsPromises.readFile('input.txt', 'utf8');
