Reading file in nodejs with use of module fs and path

#gratitude

Hi!

By asynchronously 

const fs = require("fs"); const path = require("path"); const fileUrl = path.join(__dirname, "test.txt"); fs.readFile(fileUrl,(err,data)=>{ console.log("fileData: ",data) });
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

By synchronously 

const fs = require("fs"); const path = require("path"); const fileUrl = path.join(__dirname, "test.txt"); const fileData = fs.readFileSync(fileUrl); console.log(fileData )
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
