Built on Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine, Node.js is a runtime environment that enables JavaScript to run outside the browser. This course will help you learn the fundamentals of Node.js to build portable applications.

You’ll learn about the components and build patterns of Node.js. You’ll also explore the API to learn how to create modules and write code to unique data files. Moreover, you’ll delve into the features and practices of JavaScript and build a REST API using the Express framework from scratch. This will set up authentication tokens with Passport.js and JSON web tokens, and finally build a live trivia game with Socket.IO.

By the end of this course, you’ll be equipped with the extensive knowledge to build rich and comprehensive Node.js applications running on the server with JavaScript.

Learn Node.js from Scratch

By the end of this lesson, we’ll be able to do the following:

- Use the object literal shorthand for initializing property values.
- Use the object literal shorthand for writing methods.
- Create objects with dynamically computed property keys.

## Enhanced object literals
ES6 offers enhanced object literals, including shorthand syntax for method definition, property values, and dynamic property keys.

### Shorthand for initializing property values

ES6 checks if the property key has a corresponding variable name and assigns the value of that variable to the property. If no variable has the same name as the property key defined, an error will be thrown.
