Text files remain one of the simplest and most versatile formats for storing information and data. Developers use plain-text files to store server logs, error reports, and other similar types of data. Combining text files programmatically to centralize information from various sources into a single document ensures moving away from a repetitive, error-prone workflow. In this step-by-step guide, we will explore how to merge TXT files in Node.js applications and replace manual file handling with an automated process using the Node.js REST API.

Steps to Merge TXT Files Using Node.js

1. Import and set up GroupDocs.Merger Cloud Node.js SDK
2. Obtain API credentials and initialize the DocumentApi with them
3. Configure the source text files to merge from the cloud storage
4. Define the TXT merging options with JoinOptions
5. Create an TXT file joining request using JoinRequest
6. Process the TXT merger using the join() method

These simple steps make adding TXT file merging to your Node.js projects a straightforward process. While you can join plain-text documents using custom scripts, this method can become inefficient when dealing with automated or cross-platform applications. That is not the case with the Cloud REST API, which works seamlessly across Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms. The Cloud API handles all the heavy lifting, leaving you with clean, maintainable code to process sensitive TXT documents in a secure cloud environment.

Code to Merge TXT Files Using Node.js

Automation has made efficiency and productivity more significant than ever. GroupDocs.Merger Cloud Node.js SDK enables developers to effortlessly merge text files within Node.js applications that work with text-based data. Using the Node.js REST API eliminates the need for complex, time-consuming code, while still providing a dependable and automated TXT file merger process. Our REST API integrates easily into existing workflows, allowing you to focus on building features and delivering value instead of reinventing the wheel.
