Can you change a server side variable through client side?
Node.js
I have been searching for how to do this in Google and Stack Overflow for many day
mwilki7 I'm not sure how, at first glance, how to change server variables but the first thing I would try is build some sort of interface to change the server:
example:
client:
function changeServerDate(date)
{
// send date over socket to server
}
server:
var serverdate;
socketthingy.on("changeDate", function(date)
{
serverdate = date;
});

JustARatherRidi Sure you can, but it depends on what sort of server you've got running and what data you're looking to send. Could you perhaps share a link to your code?4 years ago
fs.readFile() showing weird string to console in Node Js
I am trying to read a text file and print out the results in the console, but whenever I try,
Node.js
vedprad1 The solution is simple.
When fs.readFile() only has two parameters, it will return a buffer.
The solution is to add a parameter between the file name and the callback, like this:
const fs = require(‘fs’);
fs.readFile(‘text.txt’, ‘utf-8’ (err, data) => {
console.log(data);
});
