🚀 Module: Node.js Hello World Translation Service

Technology Stack:

  • Node.js

🎯 Scenario

This project reimplements the Quarkus-based hello world service from workshop-quarkus-hello_quarkus using Node.js and Express. It exposes a single endpoint that returns a localized greeting with an ISO-8601 timestamp appended, mirroring the original Quarkus behaviour.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18 or newer
  • npm

🐾 Guided Walkthrough

  1. Installation
npm install
  1. Run the tests
npm test
  1. Start the service
npm start

The server listens on port 8080 by default. Override with the PORT environment variable if needed.

  1. HTTP Endpoint
  • GET /helloworld-by-language – Responds with a greeting string such as hello world @ 2024-06-01T12:34:56.000Z.
  1. Configuration Environment variables provide the same configurability as the Quarkus version:
  • TRANSLATION_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE (default: EN) – Two-letter code used to choose the greeting.
  • TRANSLATION_FILE (default: translations.json) – File located in the resources/ directory that contains the greeting map.
  • PORT (default: 8080) – Port for the HTTP server.

All translations are stored in resources/translations.json
