Plain text documents contain unformatted text and lack styles or multimedia elements. Despite their simplicity, they play a crucial role in various applications due to their wider compatibility and ease of use. Programmatically modifying text files allows developers to automate tasks such as updating configurations, processing user-generated content, and handling data logs. In this guide, we will learn how to seamlessly edit text files in Node.js using our Cloud Node.js SDK, enabling efficient and scalable text file management.

Steps to Edit Text Files in Node.js Apps Using REST API

1. Import and set up the GroupDocs.Editor Cloud Node.js SDK
2. Instantiate EditApi and FileApi with your API credentials
3. Configure the source TXT file from cloud storage with FileInfo
4. Load the file for editing text with TextLoadOptions
5. Download the file as HTML, edit the text, and upload it to the cloud storage
6. Use TextSaveOptions to set up the save options
7. Save the edited HTML back to the TXT format
