SharePoint Framework operating (SPFx) [closed]

Question

I asked some questions about SPFx few days ago. I still have questions in mind.

I used some development tools to create my first web-app with SPFx :

• Node.js
• Gulp
• Yeoman
• Typescript
• Visual Studio Code

My first web-app works well. In fact, I don't understand how the framework works. I shall like knowing :

• What is the role of Node.js ? In practice, what does it do ?
• What are interactions between my web-part page, Node.js and SharePoint ?
• How my web-part arrives directly built on my SharePoint workbench ?

I didn't find neither a schema to illustrate interactions between different elements of the architecture or explications.

To get a better understanding, I would suggest watching some of the PNP videos provided on YouTube. They provide great training on understanding the framework.

Also, check out the Overview Docs on the Office Dev Center.
