Welcome to the advanced syntax patterns guide! This section explores sophisticated techniques for handling requests and structuring responses in HTTP servers. Whether you're building APIs or managing complex routing, these patterns will enhance your development workflow.

Key Concepts 📚

  • Route Matching: Use regex patterns like /en\/user\/\d+ to match specific URL structures
  • Middleware Chaining: Implement layered processing with app.use() and next() functions
  • Response Templating: Dynamically generate HTML content using template literals or JSX
  • CORS Configuration: Customize headers with Access-Control-Allow-Origin:* patterns

Practical Examples 🧪

// Example: Regex-based route
app.get('/en\/advanced-syntax-patterns', (req, res) => {
  res.send('Advanced syntax patterns documentation');
});

// Example: Conditional response
if (req.path.startsWith('/en/')) {
  res.setHeader('Content-Language', 'en');
  res.status(200).send('English content');
}
