Call canister from the other app (Nodejs)

Hello. In my app I need to get the canister’s data using my Nodejs server. I geuss it should be some analogue of ethereum’s contract.function().call(). But I am not sure, is it possible with IC? Give me some hints, please.

For instance in motoko: public func hello() : async Text { return "Hello" }
and in nodejs: callHello() // "Hello"
So, how do I do that?

You need to use agent-js, here’s an example on how to do that
