About

You have received a coded message and you need a program to decode it. This is where the Node.js Message Decipher comes into play. This project reads the encrypted messages directly from a file, processes them using a specific decryption algorithm, and subsequently writes the decoded message into another file. At the project's end, you can encode your secret messages and write to a file too!

Graduate project

This project covers the core topics of the Introduction to Node.js course, making it sufficiently challenging to be a proud addition to your portfolio.

At least one graduate project is required to complete the course.

What you'll learn

Once you choose a project, we'll provide you with a study plan that includes all the necessary topics from your course to get it built. Here’s what awaits you:

Decode the secret message with the Atbash cipher and log it.

Write the newly decoded message to a new file.

Take input to shift the cipher, use it to encode a new message file, and write it to a new file.

This project was excellent for understanding how the file system (fs) module works in Node.js. I learned how to read and write files using Promises and async/await to keep the code clean and sequential. Implementing the logic for Atbash and Caesar ciphers was also a great way to practice string mani ...

I have learned a lot about reading and writing files using the "fs" module in Node.js by building this fun project.
