Welcome to the JavaScript code examples directory! This directory contains a collection of JavaScript code files.
Before you run the JavaScript code examples, make sure you have the necessary tools installed on your system:
-
Node.js (JavaScript Interpreter):
- We recommend using Node Version Manager (NVM) to install and manage Node.js versions.
- Install NVM by following the instructions on the NVM GitHub repository.
-
Install Node.js with NVM (Recommended):
- After installing NVM, open a new terminal window.
- Install the LTS (Long Term Support) version of Node.js using NVM:
nvm install --lts
- Set the installed version as the default:
nvm alias default node
- Verify Node.js installation:
node -v
To run the JavaScript code examples:
- Run JavaScript:
- Navigate to the directory containing the code.
- Run the code using Node.js:
node filename.js
.
If you face difficulties setting up your environment or prefer a quick way to run the code, you can use your web browser's developer console.
- Using Browser Console (Alternative):
- Open your web browser (e.g., Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox).
- Right-click on the webpage and select "Inspect" or press
F12
to open the developer tools. - Go to the "Console" tab.
- Copy and paste the code from the JavaScript file (
filename.js
) into the console. - Press
Enter
to execute the code.
Note: This method is suitable for quick tests and debugging but may have limitations for more complex code.
