Can I use jQuery with Node.js?

Question

Is it possible to use jQuery selectors/DOM manipulation on the server-side using Node.js?

Answer 1

You can use Electron, it allows hybrid browserjs and nodejs.

Before, I tried to use canvas2d in nodejs, but finally I gave up. It's not supported by nodejs default, and too hard to install it (many many ... dependeces). Until I use Electron, I can easily use all my previous browserjs code, even WebGL, and pass the result value(eg. result base64 image data) to nodejs code.
