How to write a server part for mobile applications on a node?

Question

Mobile development

I understand how to write on a node for web applications. Everything works via the HTTP/HTTPS protocol. But how to write a backend for mobile applications? What server to write, and what modules to use? Maybe there are some tutorials

Answer 1

Absolutely the same as for the web.
Everything of course depends on the protocol, the application can communicate with the server via http / websocket - everything is simple here, but it can communicate using any of its protocols, then you can look for a server implementation for this protocol on npmjs.org or implement it yourself on top of the standard net (tcp), tls (tls or ssl + tcp) or dgram (udp) modules

Answer 2

I write REST services on Express + Sequelize + JWT (for authentication)
Hint : To build a server as quickly as possible, as well as to create a cool, documented and easily tested API, you need to use swagger
First, describe the API and then click "Generate Server"=>"Node.js "
voila :)
You can upload the configuration from the swagger to Postman and immediately generate stubs for requests.
