ES6 Import x Require

Hi guys! Trying the new js with express, I got a doubt about the require().In express, I use:app.use('/path' , require('dependecy'));I know, I could import before and then pass the imported dependency, but is there any way to do this with import in a single line?How about the require? Will require be deprecated?

How to deal with Restful view presentation on express

I'm working on a project with node.js and express.

"Node.js — and JavaScript in general — is excellent for quick iteration; programs can be inspected and errors can be addressed on the fly without requiring a restart, so developers can publish and deploy new code constantly." from http://ift.tt/1WYZkqo that true? You can edit code and deploy it live without having to stop the service and restart it? Huh?

I think it'd be interesting to learn how to make a highly scalable real-time server with node. Where should I start?

A real-time server, as in one that would be used for something like a video game. I think the concept of how something like Eve Online manages to have tens of thousands of users at once is really cool. I would like to learn the concepts needed to fully understand the architecture and planning that goes into making such a system. I am familiar with Laravel (PHP) and have done quite a bit of work with node as a web application server before, but nothing that needed more than a single instance running on Heroku.For example, check out this diagram that was posted along with this article describing their server structure.What terms or concepts should I be looking for that allows having multiple proxy servers that users can connect to, which then know which master server to connect to, which then communicates to yet another server for database transactions?I know this isn't really node specific, but it seems like a technology people would have experience with it.

Using sessions in a node/passport.js authentication setup?

I'm using passport.js to authenticate users in my ionic/angular frontend node backend app. I am logging people in through Facebook using passport, but then I want to be able to authenticate users with Stripe once they are already logged in.The initial FB log in works fine, but for the Stripe login I was advised to use sessions (can this be done without a session?).My serializeUser function gets called, but when the callback comes back from Stripe in to this functionpassport.use(new StripeStrategy(config.stripe, function(req, accessToken, refreshToken, stripe_properties, done) { DeserializeUser is never called.req.user is undefinedreq.sessionStore.sessions has all the sessions created so farreq.sessionID is a reference to an empty session that I can see in the sessionStore (this ID always seems to stay the same)All I want is to be able to get the id of the user associated with that session, or at least be able to match the session that is coming back with the callback to the correct existing session.Anyone have any ideas where I am going wrong? Or has come across this before?I don't wanna spam a load of code, but I can provide any of what I have done so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Making files 'generalizable'

Sandboxing outbound connections in a node process

With everything that's been going on with npm lately, it got me thinking about what happens if a malicious package made its way into npm. There are a number of DoS-type things a malicious package could do, such as randomly crashing the server or eating up CPU and memory. However, from a security perspective the worst thing a package can do involves collecting data and sending it back to a server somewhere.With that in mind, what's the simplest way of controlling the outbound connections of a Node process? Ideally I'd like to be able to say that this process should only be making connections to myhost.net and anything else should be blocked.I've thought about ways to do it in JS code itself--such as how the nock library completely alters the http behavior. But if it can be done in code then it could surely be undone in code by a malicious package as well. A fool-proof solution would have to be built into Node's underlying net stack itself.I also know there are dozens of way to do this at the OS level, and perhaps that's the correct answer. I'm curious if anyone has other solutions.

Loading resources in middleware?

My routes are set up something like this:app.get('/blah/:id', middleware.middleware, controller.get);app.post('/blah/:id', middleware.middleware, controller.update);In my middleware, I load in my resource:module.exports.middleware= function(req, res, next){ Resource.findOne({ _id : req.params.id}, function(err, resource){ if (err){ return res.status(500).json(blahblabhblaha); } if (!resource){ return res.status(404).json(blahblabhblaha); } if (authorization condition fails){ return res.status(401).json(blahblabhblaha); } //more condition checking, etc res.locals.resource = resource; return next(); }); }; This is nice for me because I can handle all of the authorization and stuff in one fell swoop. It also cleans up my controllers considerably. The problem is that I can't use mongo's projections this way, because the controllers need different parts of the resource. Is there anyway I can get around this without resorting to having my controllers make database calls?

Probably really simple question, storing data

Ok, I can't seem to find any help for this.I have one JS file that asks a user on the command line to enter a number.I have another JS file with an array. I need the number the user entered to be stored in that array (in the next entry).For example: The first JS file is run. It asks the user to input a number. The user inputs '5'.In the second JS file, there is an array, lets call it A. Before the user entered the number, A=[4,6,1]. Now A=[4,6,1,5].If we run the first program again, and the user inputs 2, now A = [4,6,1,5,2].Also: If I want to write another program that calls a value of A, how would I do that?

What's the best option for storing state in this node.js module? X-post from /r/learnjavascript

Hi,I'm using the q library in node.js. Basically my code calls a series of functions, some synchronous and some asynchronous, passing the result from one function to the next. See my code at the end of this post.My problem is my code only passes the result from one function to the next function that is called. The existing setup only allows for the result of one function to be passed to the next consecutive function in the chain. I'd like to pass the result of say the first function in the chain to the third function called in the chain.What's a good approach to storing the result from calling a function so it can be passed to a function that is called several steps later in the chain, rather than having to pass the result to the next function to be called?Many thanks."use strict"; /*jslint node: true */ let Q = require('q'); let baseFunctions = { parsePage: require('./parsePage'), extractTitles: require('./extractTitles'), walkTheDom: require('./walkTheDom'), getTitles: require('./getTitles') }; let generateFunctions = (config) => { let chosenFunctions = {}; for (let funcName in config.functions) { if (baseFunctions[funcName] !== undefined) { let baseFunc = baseFunctions[funcName]; let args = config.functions[funcName].args && config.functions[funcName].args; chosenFunctions[funcName] = args ? baseFunc.bind(null, args) : baseFunc; } } let funcArr = (Object.keys(chosenFunctions).map(key => chosenFunctions[key])); return funcArr; }; let main = (config) => { let funcArr = generateFunctions(config); let result = funcArr.reduce(Q.when, Q()); result.done(function(end) { console.log(end); }); }; main({ functions: { parsePage: { args: ["http://ift.tt/22ZkQ27"] }, getTitles: { args: 'Multi-Scale Tone Mapping' }, walkTheDom: { args: null } } });

Question about structuring/hosting a small-ish node app

I'm building a web-scraper in node and intend to also build a front-end to display the scraped data once all the node stuff has been taken care of, but I'm feeling a little stuck right now and am not entirely sure how to structure things going forward.The site/app I want to make does two things: 1) fetch images posted by users in a specific thread on a specific website, download them and save info to a db 2) allow users to navigate these images in a pretty little front-endWhat I have right now is a series of functions in node that send a request out to the thread pages sequentially, search for images posted by users, and pass those image URLs along with poster metadata (who posted it, the post permalink, post date) to be downloaded to the filesystem and stored to a database once downloaded. I haven't written anything yet to store the info in a database but that ought to be pretty straightforward.So while it is pretty simple now to just download all the images and save them on my own computer, I don't really know how to translate this into something like a heroku app... I guess one of the main issues is that I would like my server to, say every 24 hours, check to see if any new images have been posted to the thread, and if so download them and add to the database automatically. There are thousands of images so it makes more sense to host them on something like AWS I think, but I'm not really certain how best to approach all this, especially if the server is hosted in one place (heroku), the database in another (mongolab maybe?), and the static files in another (AWS). My current approach would just be to make a heroku app that runs the server (for the front-end) and also starts some sort of timed event that checks for new images and downloads/saves them, passing them along to AWS, if they exist. It seems to me like it would work ok, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is a really terrible solution or not even a viable one.Another concern of mine is making the server keep track of where it left off, scraping-wise. If I start the server and it begins scraping at page 1 of the thread, but something happens and my server needs to restart, how will it know that it left off at page 100? The only thing I could really think of is keeping track of this somewhere in the database (ie with some sort of "last page scraped" variable), but I also don't really feel like that's the best solution.Sorry if these are stupid questions. I have a bit of experience in node but this is definitely a lot more ambitious than anything I've done before. Generally I feel like I could more or less make things work, but wouldn't be confident that my methods would be good ones.

Identifying users without login - passport question

I'm working on a website that heavily revolves around chat. I built the chat using socket.io and I want to add user authentication.I want anyone to be able to go to the website and use all of the features without having to worry about signing up for an account or logging in. An account will be created anytime a user joins the site and isn't recognized. If they come back later, the site should be able to recognize them and authenticate them automatically. At any point they can choose to claim their account by linking it to a google or facebook account.1: I understand how to authenticate with google/facebook/etc, but is there an easy and secure way to identify someone by storing a cookie and linking it to their account? I assume there is a passport strategy that does this, but looking through them I didn't see any that I understood that did this.2: Once I have user authentication working over http, how do I authenticate users over socket.io websockets? I've tried looking this up but almost all the resources I find are 2+ years old and don't seem relevant.Thanks for taking the time to read my post.

Noob questions about leftpad. 1) Is it efficient? 2) Would node need to read it for each page? 3) Would node need to re-interpret it for each page?

This is the code for leftpad module.exports = leftpad; function leftpad (str, len, ch) { str = String(str); var i = -1; if (!ch && ch !== 0) ch = ' '; len = len - str.length; while (++i < len) { foo: str = ch + str; } return str; } Is that actually an efficient way to prepend a string with a fixed number of characters?More specifically, how many times in this implementation will "str" be copied into the new string at the step I've labeled foo? Naively it looks like str will be recopied 'len' times. Naively it seems a better implementation would first create then prefix string then append (copy) str to the end of it.Is Node's Javascript engine smart enough to optimize that?If not, are thousands of packages really using this open source implementation that apparently no one thought might be, or should be reasonably optimized? function leftpad (str, len, ch) { str = String(str); var prefix = ''; var i = -1; if (!ch && ch !== 0) ch = ' '; len = len - str.length; while (++i < len) { bar: prefix = prefix + ch; } return prefix + str; } If open source really does work, I have to assume one of:the original code is optimal and I need to learn morethe original code is sufficient and people don't use kik for prepending long stringsJavascript is smart enough to optimize the original codeOr maybe open source doesn't "work".Anyway, here are my real noob question:If IN A BROWSER my code depended on leftpadWould my browser try to download leftpad for each and every page that referenced it?Would my browser have to read, parse, implement the module for each and every page that referenced it?And then in the context of node the same two questions:Would node try to read leftpad for each and every page that referenced it?Would node to read, parse, implement the module for each and every page that referenced it?Does either the browser or node have a context of library functions (or state) that survives a page load?

I've never published a module before so I would love feedback (code/documentation/feature/any feedback is welcome):http://ift.tt/1UPiQGM basically, I wanted to use native JS Promises, I wanted spread and delay from Q, and I didn't want to special case old browsers / versions of node that don't support promises.So I made this library which polyfills Promises for old versions of JS, and that also sprinkles some useful features similar to Q in: spread, delay, makeNodeResolver, fcall, all(), nbind, ninvoke, nfcall, nfapply, denodify, nbind and npost.I also made a (somewhat controversial I imagine) decision to extend objects with a $promise method that makes it very easy to convert any non-promise returning function into something promise compliant:Fs.$promise('readFile', 'foo.txt').then(function(text){ ... }); (so you can call obj.$promise('methodName, arg0, arg1, ..) on any object and it will wrap it as a promise)So yeah, I would love to get some feedback on this, give it to me straight!

I've been looking at a bunch of the DB's out there and I'm not sure which DB would be best for the profile service I'm trying to build I'm planning to store the following on a user's profileusernamepassworddashboardwidgetsemailother (metadata stuff) Also, I want to add authentication to the API service and that's something I've never done. I was looking into using https://jwt.io/ to help with authentication. Any recommendations are appreciated. Thanks

Trying to deploy a chat application to OpenShift have some questions

I'm trying to deploy this chat app, but it seems to not be working.It's the first time I ever do this so I'm a total newb in this. I'm wondering could this be due to:that I ran rhc app create nodechat nodejs-0.10 from inside my chat app but from inside a branch that is not master?maybe because I installed node globally but do I have to reinstall it locally on the root of my dir?Are dirs such as node_modules & bower_components supposed to be ignored in gitignored or actually added to git before doing the rhc app create nodechat nodejs-0.10 command?I didn't have any error message actually I got the msg they show in the tutorial that I'm supposed to get saying that a url for my app was created.Any help appreciated.

Structuring Express applications with unit testing in mind?

Diving into node at work to build a REST API with express. I've separated the route logic like follows, however I'm having an issue with unit testing because most of my functions are "private" in their controllers:// app.js // -------------------------------------- var userRoutes = require('./routes/users'); app.use('/users', userRoutes); // routes/users.js // -------------------------------------- var express = require('express'); var router = express.Router(); var usersController = require('../controllers/users'); router.get('/', usersController.getAll); // no logic in this file, all logic in controller actions module.exports = router // controllers/users.js // -------------------------------------- module.exports.getAll = (req, res) => { if (someFunction()) { res.sendStatus(200); } else { res.sendStatus(500); } } function someFunction() { // function that I want to test } This seems organized and if fulfills my OCD, but it means that I can't unit test someFunction() because it doesn't get exported.The solution that I was thinking about was to put all "express" centered logic in the routes file and export all the functions in the controller. So the changes would look like:// routes/users.js // -------------------------------------- var express = require('express'); var router = express.Router(); var usersController = require('../controllers/users'); router.get('/', (req, res) => { if (usersController.someFunction()) { res.sendStatus(200); } else { res.sendStatus(500); } }); module.exports = router // controllers/users.js // -------------------------------------- module.exports.someFunction = () => { // function that I want to test } This means that I could import the controller actions and test them directly with mocha, however it doesn't feel as clean to me because now there is logic in the route files.What do you all think? What patterns do you all follow? Very curious to hear :)

Node JS N00b Questions

It's been about 10 years since I built my first website, I believe I was using frontpage at the time (el oh el) I moved to Dreamweaver soon after. The last site I actually completely built in Dreamweaver was ~5 years ago. I have since moved to doing more on the server side of things but I am still very active with HTML as well.About a year ago I discovered node JS but I had problems getting it to work. In the last week I have been trying to get it to work to do literally anything. I just want to know what node JS does and are people using it to build production sites? What are the benefits of using it?What I know about node js: -Node JS is a Javascript runtime. -NPM seems to be a package manager of sorts. -There are some cool packages I want to check out such as grunt uncss.Questions I have: What is an SCSS file? How does it work? What is a package.json file? Is this similar to the way a JSON api works? Who uses node js? Is there a really good beginners guide to installing on windows?I feel like windows may be my problem. I spent a whole day searching NPM errors one after another and most were odd dependencies like python. I'm not familiar with python on a windows box at all but I am on a linux box. Does node run better in a linux environment or maybe a dedicated windows environment.Also I want to get into angular js, and it looks like node is a requirement?This CLI based web development where you "build" rather than "code" is new to me, any help, information, or pointers would be greatly appreciated.TLDR: - What is node js? - Who uses node js? - Pros? Cons? - Bomb ass n00b guide anywhere? Also a n00b guide for angular?

Using Request Module

What's the best way to publish private NPM ES6 packages?

What's the best way to publish NPM packages written in ES6? The easiest way would be to publish as ES5 but some of our NPM packages will be used for client-side code so adding transpiler bloat is not ideal.Also we would still be using paths inside the modules, regardless if we would be using it from Node or Webpack, such asrequire('@scope/my-module/internal/file.js') I had some ideas such as, using ES6 as the "default" exposed scripts, but would monkey-path Node's requirefunction to append /es5 to the path so that the ES5 files can be used.Any ideas?

I used express-generator to get the basic skeleton set up, and then used npm to install bootstrap:npm install bootstrap I added bootstrap as a requirement, and as a middleware:var bootstrap = require('bootstrap'); app.use('bootstrap'); Now I'm just not sure how to "import" that into my layout template. If someone could show me an example, or point me to a resource, that'd be great.

using multer to grab the req.file to modify it before saving to the destination.

hello. I am using multer for my multipart/form-dataI want to read the file before its saved to the server. Any files that can be worked on locally before saved to the server is best. Multer has a memory option, but I dont know much about that yet. Still digging.I am using sox and according to the documentation this is the types of input it allowsFilenames can be simple file names, absolute or relative path names, or URLs (input files only). Note that URL support requires that wget(1) is available.so my question is, how can do this better than uploading the file and then just grabbing the file from the destination path and then doing the changes. that seems like a lot of unnecessary overhead than just using the original file from the form and then saving the modified copy to the destination.thanks for any feedback.

I'm creating a multiplayer card game for learning purposes, and am confused about how to organise game data server-side and in the database. Any advice would be appreciated!

Hey guys! I've created a chat application before, and now want to get into something a bit more complicated. So I decided to re-create the board game Dominion. I'm using Express, MongoDB with Mongoose, and Socket.io, just as I did with the chat app before.Now, I'm confused about how to store card-related information in the database. A game basically has 17 reserve stacks of cards, a discard pile, plus a stack, a hand and a discard pile for each player (2-4 players per game).A few things I'm aware of:Card stacks, hands and discard piles can probably be handled with the same model, so I'll only refer to card stacks from now on.Reserve card stacks only contain one type of card, so I just need to save how many cards are left, and create a card when it is drawn from the stack.So, I see several ways of saving a game's stacks and cards in the database (or without it), and am confused about what technique would be better:1. Everything in the database I could create a mongoose model for card stacks and one for cards. Then each stack would be something like:MongooseModel CardStack:{ cards:array of ids } MongooseModel CardCellar:{ //cellar is the name of one of the cards in the game id:some_id, cost:2, ... } This means a lot of objects in the database! Late game, you can easily have dozens of cards in each of the players' hands, so it would be dozens to hundreds of objects per game. Seems like a lot? This also means lot's of models for the different card types.2. Less models Same as above, but using only one model for all card types:MongooseModel Card:{ id:some_id, name:'Cellar', cost:2, ... } In this case I would have only one collection for all cards in any game. Is that better?3. Use the database much less Since Dominion has only like 28 card types total, I could create a mongoose model for card stacks, and store card types in a js/json object that is not in the db. The idea being, that all card objects of one type in the database are exact duplicates. Seems unnecessary.MongooseModel CardStack:{ cards:array of ids } Object cardTypes:{ cellar:{ cost:2, ... } } This means a lot less objects in the database, but means I'll need to load a js/json file from the file system every time I want to access cards. Is this a bad thing? Actually, I probably could load it just once globally in the file with my socket.io game logic...That's my thoughts so far. Any advice would be appreciated :)

Need help understanding Node streams and crazy memory usage

Hello /r/node! I have a very simple example here which opens a file read stream and a file write stream, and simply pipes one to the other:var fs = require('fs'); console.log("BEFORE: ", process.memoryUsage()); var inp = fs.createReadStream( '/var/tmp/30mb.log' ); var outp = fs.createWriteStream( '/var/tmp/joe.txt' ); outp.on('finish', function() { console.log("AFTER: ", process.memoryUsage()); } ); inp.pipe( outp ); The file being read is 30 MB, but I wouldn't expect any large memory increase, because I'm using streams and pipes. It should read/write in 16K chunks or something, right? But in every version of Node I've tested, this effectively loads the entire file into memory:Node v0.12:BEFORE: { rss: 18169856, heapTotal: 9751808, heapUsed: 3934048 } AFTER: { rss: 52125696, heapTotal: 11803648, heapUsed: 4326008 } Node v4.2:BEFORE: { rss: 19476480, heapTotal: 7408736, heapUsed: 3623808 } AFTER: { rss: 39321600, heapTotal: 9472608, heapUsed: 4832224 } Node v5.8:BEFORE: { rss: 15433728, heapTotal: 7523616, heapUsed: 4076352 } AFTER: { rss: 46604288, heapTotal: 10619424, heapUsed: 6069584 } Can anyone explain why this is happening, and/or how I can copy a file without having Node's memory explode in size?

Unable to generate URL to send to user for requesting access to a particular non-public google sheet

koa vs. Hapi+co vs. Hapi+async/await

At the moment, I've been working on a project where I use Hapi. Most API calls are handled with promises, but some of them require a bit more work and instead of using .then four times, I prefer to use co to add a generator function as the handler, so I can use yield everytime to perform all operations.Now it isn't exactly clear to me how co differs from using async/await, is it just that async/await is a native function of ES7, or is there a functional difference?And if I use Hapi this way, what advantages does koa have, aside from being a bit more easy to read? I understood that koa uses co to treat every route as a generator function, but does this result in a functional difference from using any other web framework with co? (aside from looking a bit cleaner)

Google-drive api (NodeJS) Error: Request had insufficient authentication scopes

Hello!I am trying to generate a URL to send to users so I may access a particular sheet(if they accept the request). To that end, I was using the tutorial at Google Drive REST API here, and I was able to successfully call authorize(JSON.parse(content), listFiles); to get a list of files in a user's drive. Now, what I actually want is to read the contents of a particular spreedsheet, so I looked around and found this here :function callAppsScript(auth) { var scriptId = 'ENTER_YOUR_SCRIPT_ID_HERE'; var script = google.script('v1'); // Make the API request.

Implementing an effective view/hit counter with node.

Firstly I am using the express framework to handle the back end. I've been in a bit of a stretch lately trying to come up with a scheme for a view counter that doesn't bloat the DB (using MongoDB).Ideally, what I would like is to have a day by day view counter of a certain sub domain. Think of say the individual github project pages with view counters. A view here counts as a first-time, unique page visit from an IP. Recurring visits will not increment the view counter.My non-ideal approach was to create a new collection say 'views' and the individual documents within views would have the following schema.{ "name" : String, "views" : [ { "day" : Date, "count" : Number, } ], "ips" : [String] } This is a sort of appropriate schema since I would like an easy way to check whether the IP has already requested this page, and I could log the views on a per day basis, but it just seems that in the long run traversing through the "views" array to obtain a particular day would become slower and slower. And not to mention the IP array, say if you were to accumulate 1 M views string comparison per visit would take a devastating toll on performance. Also remember this will be done on a per subdomain/entry basis which at this point it was best to reconsider my approach.So I come to you guys, any suggestions from prior experience are appreciated or better yet if you know of a module written to do this at a production scale that would be a gift, thanks.

Kind of in a desperate situation: Is node suitable for freelance?

So due to my wife receiving a very good job offer we moved to a small country: Panama. Which has a stagnant software industry. i.e: you can see job offers asking for someone with 5-10 years experience paying $2000 (USD). People with 2-4 years payment $900. and its common to see offers asking for old tech stacks such as visual basic, struts and fox pro.I have 1 year android and front-end (angular, js, html, css, jquery, bootstrap) experience. So I began thinking that maybe freelancing is a vailable option so I started learning node.js just completed my first nodejs "hello-world-crud-app" yesterday and now started searching about how to get my first freelance client.It seems everyone is using wordpress + php, and that support of maintenance of websites is given through the hosting company (not the developer), but with node.js I would use a VPS server and thus I would have to provide the support directly(?). This is unrealistic because I can't give support 24/7 to potential clients.So I want to know if anyone here has a career as a freelancer using node for the backend. Would really appreciate guidance and to know if it is possible

Does it make sense to write an app using Babel?

Hi. I'm somewhat inexperienced when it comes to node, and I've spent the last few months (off and on) building an app with it.I've recently started looking into JavaScript supersets - in particular Babel and TypeScript. The reason being that I want to take full advantage of all the helpful features, keywords, etc. that these supersets (transpilers?) have to offer.After much deliberation, I've decided to pursue Babel. The main reason for this is because it seems to be on the forefront of ECMAScript development.Now correct me if I'm wrong: Babel can be used for server-side (i.e. node.js) development, right? If that's the case, why do I get the impression that Babel is not really that often used for server-side development? I've tried searching phrases such as 'babel nodejs', 'babel expressjs nodejs', and I'll often get a dearth of results and little to no pointers, guides, or tutorials for getting started.Is there something I'm missing here? This is my first delve into 'modern/hip(ster)' (so to speak) technologies, and I just want to make sure I'm not misunderstanding the role Babel (and other similar JS supersets) plays.Thanks for reading!

[koajs] difficulty with asynchronous callbacks and yield

I've been working on a weather app in Node and being the Node noob that I am, I'm having some difficulty using callbacks in conjunction with yield. I've omitted a lot of other code because I don't think it's very relevant to my problem:router.get(function *(next) { let res; // current temperature (degrees K) in given city weather('London', config.API_KEY).then((temp) => { res = temp; }, (reason) => { console.log(reason); }); this.body = yield render('index.mustache', {temperature:res}); }); I know the reason that this won't work (async pains) but I've tried alternatives like yielding from the callback and setting this.body within the callback (this approach appeared promising but Koa sends a 404 in this case) but none of those seem to work. Any ideas on how I can make this work?edit: here's the complete code, just in case.

Seems like you need a really solid understanding of JS to do anything at all with Node.js, right?

I'm not having "problems" learning Node.js, but I feel like there's a lot of intermediate concepts you have to understand in order to do ANYTHING in Node.js.In Front end JS you can get away with just hacking together whatever works. But with Node.js I'm constantly having to stop, and research, more so than other languages.PHP, Ruby, and Front end JS I could just code and code and code without any real difficulties, and without knowing too much.Node.js on the other hand I feel forces you to dig deeper. Is this the general consensus or have I gone off the deep end?Closures, callbacks, promises, anonymous functions, this, etc... Seems like I can't get anywhere without understanding all of these things in detail.No complaints, just an observation. Feel like it's not a beginners language.. er... Runtime or whatever.

A partner for building a free cross-promotion server and sdk soluion

I am looking for a partner so we can build a HapiJS and NodeJS server solution which will be open source and will allow developers to share ads between their apps. I am doing it because I have several Android apps which I want to connect.The current cross-promotion solutions are not good enough or just are not totally free. I can program for Android so I can participate both in the server and client Android SDK.I want to build a very simple solution for 2-3 months in the free time after work. Remote pairing is OK.

What are some good practices/bad practices in the layer between the server and the database in a node application?

In a node script, you call http.createServer(). Anything you put outside of this function provides you with an additional scope that you don't get in PHP (I'm a PHP guy).Is this useful in node? Could I preload the entire database outside of the http.createServer method and then stop reading from the database (is it even worth it to do this)? Are there benefits to having this extra scope?Any thoughts welcome!

What the best way to do emails?

I'm creating a web service that has a few cases where emails are sent (password recovery, update notifications, etc). Some are for small numbers of recipients while others are more of a mass mailing. To keep my service responsive I'm thinking of running a separate Docker container with some sort of "additional server" to read the DB and issue the emails.I'm debating on running another node project with a timer, possibly a socket you could poke to trigger the DB read and subsequent emailing. Another option is to create a Gruntfile and have it connected to a cron job that runs it periodically. Being new to Node development I'm not sure exactly what solution I should go with. Does anyone have words of wisdom on how to solve this type of problem?

Is making db.query sync a right thing ?

So, I have a problem building an application that uses a database. After years of PHP, I'm building a site in NodeJS.When building a website that uses a database, I rapidly come over to some problems like what people call callback hell. There's async for that, but what if I simply want to make a one-line query ? Don't discuss performance with me. My PHP Scripts sometimes make over 600 queries in a row and it's still running fine.So, I made a thing to make it work in sync, on a gist. It works flawlessly, but is it right ? Isn't there a better version ?

Get Nginx (reverse proxy) to display a website if the user hits "/" instead of one of my node app routes?

Hi allI have a node app sitting behind a nginx reverse proxy.The node app accepts API calls on routes like "/api/1" and "/api/2".Therefore, I have no "/" route.I know I could set up a route for "/" and have that return a website, but I have a feeling there is a better way to do this, i.e. nginx returns the website.Have any of you done this before? Could you point me in the right direction on how to do it?Thanks.

Is there any way to make Node.js console programs responsive to user input? I.e., is there any way to have "press Q to quit or P to pause?"

I have a background process running which basically runs through a whole bunch of numbers. It's fizzbuzz, but that's not important. What's important is that if, say, you're doing the numbers 1 - 10000000000, you might want to abort the process before it's done, but keep the numbers you've already calculated.What I'd like to do is set it up so that while the program's running, if the user presses "Q," it'll stop calculating and just write out the last chunk (I process the file in chunks of 10000 at a time); Normally I work on web-based apps, but this is a console-only application so far, and I don't want to download and install Electron just to get the functionality of "addEventListener()"Any thoughts?

Can the child process be spawned without a specific command, and be kept alive?

I have to preform thousands of commands on the command line. Currently I'm doing a exec call for every command I want to do. This has to be throttled, since only so many shells can be open at once.I'm wondering if instead, I can just open a few child processes that just execute my commands, and stay open. But it seems child_process.spawn is more geared towards executing the one command and then exiting.Or is there a better way to do bulk commands that I'm unaware of?

Server sided help

Hello everyone. My name is Tim, I am 14 years old. I have been web devoloping for quite some time now and I would say that I am pretty good at HTML, CSS and Js. Currently I'm trying server sided stuff, which I don't find too hard. The only part I am very bad at is communicating between the server and the client. I am using Node.js with express and socket.io. I am quite new to it but understand it, but I wouldn't mind switching to another language like PhP if that's what it takes.I'm currently busy with a website that makes users able to upload a link that makes them join a CS:GO lobby. Basically that means people paste a link and a description, press create and a div will appear with peoples lobby links, which makes them able to join their games. I want those divs to disappear after 15 minutes. The problem I am having is how to save those divs so they will appear even when you reload the page, and remove them after 15 minutes.I am currently available so if someone could assist me via Skype/Teamspeak that would be great. All comments are helpfull, I can post some code and the parts which I think specifically are wrong.

Beyond signed cookies/JWTs: Authenticated encryption. Crypto advice?

Hi all, I've used lots of signed cookies (e.g HMAC) and JSON Web Tokens (JWTs).They're great for storing sessions without a database! ...as long as you don't have sensitive information inside, because it's all visible to the client.So, how about not just signing, but also encrypting?My research is pointing me to aes-256-gcm as good algorithm that both encrypts and signs a plaintext. The aes-256 part is a standard algorithm, and the gcm part means that it also allows to verify the authenticity of the message (which apparently isn't a given with other algorithms).Here's my understanding of how the process works on node.js, and I'm looking for feedback.Start with a JSON payload, which contains the session contents.Generate a random 12-byte initialization vector.Encrypt the payload with aes-256-gcm (crypto.createCipheriv('aes-256-gcm', key, iv))Get the "authentication tag" which serves as the authenticity signature (cipher.getAuthTag())The result is 3 values, which can be then base64 encoded and concatenate together to form a signed, encrypted token:The initialization vectorThe auth tagThe ciphertextDecryption uses crypto.createDecipheriv('aes-256-gcm', key, iv) and decipher.setAuthTag(authTag)I'm looking for feedback on this process. Is this a proper use of GCM? Does this make cryptographic sense?Inside the payload, JWT claims can be used (like an expiry time) and can be checked as a second step, after decryption.Are there caveats I should look out for? Is this paying a high price in performance, as opposed to just HMAC signing? Does the tradeoff make sense?

How to set up test file

This may be a dumb question. The situation is that a Node app was created and then put into a Vagrant box (so that it can be easily passed around to members of the team). So the app works when you do "vagrant up" and you can see the app via localhost in your browser.The app needs unit tests run against it. The app contains a whole bunch of different js files. Now let's say we create a file to contain the unit tests called "testfile.js". How will "testfile.js" be able to access all of the functions inside the app? What needs to be done?The testing will either use Painless(which comes prepackaged with Sinon and Chai) or Tape + Sinon + Chai + any other needed npm modules (possibly proxyquire).Any help is much appreciated!

Using node, how can I login to websites and scrape the web?

As a hobby, I want to write scripts to automate certain things. For example, what if I wanted to reactivate my facebook, user cheerio.js to scrape it for info (nothing malicious), then deactivate it again all at once? Is this possible?I ask because I use the request library to get to reddit, and filling in the username and password options allowed me to log in to reddit. But doing the same thing didn't work with facebook. It's a little difficult with facebook because it seems to use some javascript click event on the login button to even log in (which you can't access except by trying to decipher the minified js file which at that point it's not worth it) so I can't figure out how to login from a script.I know some sites have APIs but I want to be a ninja and just write my own scripts from scratch.Is there some standard way to log into any website?

Troubleshooting an error in my MEAN app when updating to Node >4.0

I am currently getting an error that is widely reported on the web, however the solutions provided are either a hack (demonstrated below), or do not work for me.I am running the app on Mac (Mavericks), on Node version 0.10.31, and (since I'm assuming this has something to do with them) Mongoose 3.8.x and MongoDB 2.6.7The trouble began when I updated Node and npm to 4.3.2 and 3.8.0 respectively. When I start my server, I get the following error printed in the console, and then the server proceeds to function as normal. { [Error: Cannot find module '../build/Release/bson'] code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND' } js-bson: Failed to load c++ bson extension, using pure JS version From my troubleshooting, it seems like it has something to do with Node, npm, and mongoose. The following advice was what I could find online:1) This is just a warning (not an error), ignore it.Who wants to leave warnings in their code? Besides, this could signify a worse underlying problem with the build.2) bson package nested within the Mongoose module needs python (wtf?) to build. Ensure python is set to version between 2.5 and 3 (exclusive).I'm not experienced enough to figure out what python has to do with the build, but my python is version 2.7.5.3) Go into the deeply nested bson package in node_modules and change a line in the index.js file from require('../build/Release/bson') to require('bson')Haven't, nor will I, try this approach. This is a hacky fix that will cause problems on future npm module installs/upgrades.4) run "rm -rf node_modules && npm cache clean && npm install"This seemed to be a fix for a lot of people online, but unfortunately, it does not fix the problem for me (but it does help: see below)So far, I have npm installed n so that I can play around with different Node versions, as well as different npm versions. Every time I switch to a different combination of versions, I run the line from advice #4 to rebuild the node_modules folder.So far, I've found that when I go back to Node 0.10.x, I do not get the error message, no matter what version of npm I use (at least, not with 2.14.x and 3.8.0).I do get the error with Node 4.3.2 and 5.6.0, regardless of npm version. So it seems like npm is not the problem.Hopefully this was enough information to go on. Has anyone else experienced this problem or know what's going on?In the meantime, I'm going to try updating mongoose to 4.x, as it's likely due to Mongoose not up to date with Node's recent changes.
