1. Smooth Scroll to Section

document.querySelectorAll("[data-scroll]").forEach((btn) => {
  btn.addEventListener("click", () => {
    document
      .querySelector(btn.dataset.scroll)
      .scrollIntoView({ behavior: "smooth" });
  });
});

---

2. Copy to Clipboard

navigator.clipboard.writeText("Copied text!");

---

3. Detect + Toggle Dark/Light Mode

const systemDark = window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches;

function applyTheme(t) {
  document.documentElement.dataset.theme = t;
  localStorage.setItem("theme", t);
}

applyTheme(localStorage.getItem("theme") || (systemDark ? "dark" : "light"));

function toggleTheme() {
  const current = document.documentElement.dataset.theme;
  applyTheme(current === "dark" ? "light" : "dark");
}

---

4. Fetch POST Request

async function postData() {
  const res = await fetch("/api/user", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({ name: "Hassan", age: 21 }),
  });

  const data = await res.json();
  console.log(data);
}

---

5. Fetch GET With Error Handling

async function getData() {
  try {
    const res = await fetch("/api/products");
    if (!res.ok) throw new Error("Failed request");
    return await res.json();
  } catch (e) {
    console.error(e);
  }
}

---

6. Axios POST With Headers

axios.post(
  "/api/login",
  {
    username: "admin",
    password: "1234",
  },
  {
    headers: { Authorization: "Bearer token" },
  }
);

---

7. Express Basic Server

import express from "express";
const app = express();
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;

app.get("/", (req, res) => res.send("API Running"));

app.listen(PORT, () => console.log(`Server Running on ${PORT}`));

---

8. Express Auth Middleware

function auth(req, res, next) {
  if (!req.headers.token) return res.status(401).send("Unauthorized");
  next();
}
export default auth;

---

9. MongoDB Connection

import mongoose from "mongoose";

const connectDB = async () =>{
  await mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGO_URI, {
    dbName: process.env.DB_NAME,
  });
  console.log("MongoDB Connected");

}

export default connectDB

---

10. Create Mongoose Model

const userSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  name: String,
  email: String,
});

export const User = mongoose.model("User", userSchema);

---

11. Generate JWT Token

import jwt from "jsonwebtoken";

export function createToken(userId) {
  return jwt.sign({ id: userId }, process.env.JWT_SECRET, { expiresIn: "7d" });
}

---

12. Verify JWT Token

import jwt from "jsonwebtoken";

export function verifyToken(req, res, next) {
  try {
    const token = req.headers.authorization?.split(" ")[1];
    req.user = jwt.verify(token, process.env.JWT_SECRET);
    next();
  } catch {
    res.status(403).send("Invalid token");
  }
}

---

13. Password Hashing (bcrypt)

import bcrypt from "bcrypt";
const hashed = await bcrypt.hash("mypassword", 10);

---

14. File Upload With Multer

import multer from "multer";

const upload = multer({ dest: "uploads/" });
       app.post("/upload", upload.single("file"), (req, res)=>{
  res.send("Uploaded")
 )};

---

15. Rate Limiting Middleware

const rate = {};
export function rateLimit(req, res, next) {
  const ip = req.ip;
  rate[ip] = (rate[ip] || 0) + 1;
  if (rate[ip] > 50) return res.status(429).send("Too many requests");
  next();
}

---

16. CORS Setup

import cors from "cors";
app.use(cors({ origin: "*" }));

---

17. React Fetch Hook

export function useFetch(url) {
  const [data, setData] = useState([]);

      .then((r) => r.json())
      .then(setData);
  }, [url]);
  return data;
}

---

18. React Debounce Hook

export function useDebounce(value, delay = 400) {
  const [v, setV] = useState(value);
  useEffect(() => {
    const t = setTimeout(() => setV(value), delay);
    return () => clearTimeout(t);
  }, [value]);
  return v;
}

---

19. React LocalStorage Hook

export function useLocal(key, initial) {
  const [value, setValue] = useState(
    () => JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem(key)) || initial
  );
  useEffect(() => localStorage.setItem(key, JSON.stringify(value)), [value]);
  return [value, setValue];
}

---

20. React Protected Route

export function Protected({ children }) {
  const logged = localStorage.getItem("auth");
  return logged ? children : <Navigate to="/login" />;
}

---

21. Scroll to Top (React Router)

useEffect(() => {
  window.scrollTo(0, 0);
}, [location.pathname]);

---

22. Tailwind Modern Card

<div class="p-5 max-w-sm bg-white rounded-xl shadow hover:shadow-lg transition">
  <img src="https://picsum.photos/400" class="rounded-lg" />

24. CSS Glassmorphism

.glass {
  backdrop-filter: blur(14px);
  background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.15);
  border-radius: 16px;
}

---

25. LocalStorage With Expiry

function setExp(key, value, minutes) {
  const item = { value, expiry: Date.now() + minutes * 60000 };
  localStorage.setItem(key, JSON.stringify(item));
}
function getExp(key) {
  const item = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem(key));
  if (!item || Date.now() > item.expiry) return null;
  return item.value;
}

26. Generate Unique IDs

const id = crypto.randomUUID();

32 Cloudinary Uploader Setup

import { v2 as cloudinary } from "cloudinary";

cloudinary.config({
  cloud_name: process.env.CLOUD_NAME,
  api_key: process.env.CLOUD_API_KEY,
  api_secret: process.env.CLOUD_API_SECRET,
});

export default cloudinary;

B. Multer setup (multer.js)

import multer from "multer";

const storage = multer.memoryStorage();

const upload = multer({ storage });

export default upload;

C. Upload route (uploadRoute.js)

import express from "express";
import upload from "./multer.js";
import cloudinary from "./cloudinary.js";

const router = express.Router();

router.post("/upload", upload.single("image"), async (req, res) => {
  try {
    if (!req.file) {
      return res.status(400).json({ message: "No file received" });
    }

    const result = await cloudinary.uploader.upload_stream(
      { folder: "myUploads" },
      (error, uploadResult) => {
        if (error) {
          console.log(error);
          return res.status(500).json({ message: "Cloudinary upload failed" });
        }

        return res.status(200).json({
          url: uploadResult.secure_url,
          public_id: uploadResult.public_id,
        });
      }
    );

    // Send buffer to Cloudinary
    result.end(req.file.buffer);

  } catch (err) {
    console.log(err);
    res.status(500).json({ message: "Server error" });
  }
});

export default router;

React Example

const handleUpload = async (e) => {
  const file = e.target.files[0];
  const formData = new FormData();
  formData.append("image", file);

  const res = await fetch("http://localhost:5000/api/upload", {
    method: "POST",
    body: formData,
  });

  const data = await res.json();
  console.log("Uploaded Image URL:", data.url);
};

File input

<input type="file" onChange={handleUpload} />

const requestLogger = (req, res, next) => {
  console.log(`[${req.method}] ${req.originalUrl}`);
  next();
};

module.exports = requestLogger;
