I Wrote an Iterator-based Utils Library, Looking for Feedback

Hey all,The iterator adapter pattern is common in C++ and Rust so I figured I'd try to bring it all to Node.js.docs: http://ift.tt/2jUgVoV's published on npm as well so you can also just npm install throost and play around with it.One thing I didn't know how to do was alter the CSS of jsdoc's output or get custom CSS on GitHub pages working. If someone can help me fix the CSS in the docs, that'd be appreciated.But I'm also just curious what people think of the library itself. Any feedback is welcome.

Node as WebRTC proxy/edge server: How should I distribute peers between processes?

I'm in the process of writing a browser/javascript client MMO. To improve performance on bad networks, I'd like to use WebRTC datachannel. Specifically, I'm working on running a series of "edge server" processes which will act as UDP/WebRTC proxies. The purpose of an edge server is to insulate the user-base from widespread failure, so if a user decides to do a denial of service attack to his own connection, the entire user-base isn't affected. Due to consistency/security concerns, the architecture is not peer to peer, but only client-server/server-wins. (Please don't ask me why I'm not using peer to peer -- because WebRTC.) How should I apportion the server-side WebRTC peers to Node processes? Do I want to have a whole lot of connections/peers per Node process, or just a few? What is the memory overhead of a Node process running an Express web app server with a small REST API?My current server is configured to handle around 560 simultaneous clients.

What to use to send data back to browser for AJAX call

I have an AJAX call using express and jquery on the front end, it saves a field to an array in my Mongo db and that works. However I cannot figure out how to send the data back to the AJAX call to populate the page.It does however output that res.send and takes over the page with the output object. Do I need to wrap that res.send in something or is that the wrong method to use?Here is my node route:router.route("/user/categories/:id") .all(function(req,res,next){ console.log("I see the Ajax request Here"); isLoggedIn; next(); }) .post(function (req,res){ console.log("AJAX call Hit the server here now"); User.findByIdAndUpdate(req.user.id ,{$push: {categories: req.body.user.category}} ,{save: true, upsert: true, new: true} ,function(err, category){ //Need to return categories to the front end res.send({category}); }) }) Here is my AJAX:$("#add_category_button").on('submit',function (event){ event.preventDefault(); event.stopPropagation(); var thisForm = $(this) ,term = thisForm.find("input[name='user[category]']").val $.ajax({ url: $("add_category_form").attr("action"), type: "POST", contentType: "application/json", data: JSON.stringify(thisForm), dataType: json, done: function (result) { alert("successful"); //console.log(result.categories); }, fail: function (fail){ console.log(fail); } }); }); I would think the Alert would trigger, but it does not.

I'm having huge problems try to emit messages to a private room with socket.io and redis pub/sub.

So I'm building a facebook like private messenger. I've been trying to accomplish this for more than a week now. I feel like I'm a few lines of code away, but I'm flat out stuck and spinning my tires.Essentially, I'm having problems emitting messages to a private room. I have it so it console logs out what room I've joined, as you will see below, but I can't for the life of me get it to only send the message to the client in the same room. I've had so messages duplicate, or even triple how many times it's sent depending on how many users are using the messenger.I've had the following 2 functions work, but now all of the sudden don't. Both of these were creating duplicates and now don't work at all: socket.broadcast.in(data.room).emit(channel, data); socket.to(data.room).emit(channel, data);This still will emit messages to all clients though:socket.emit(channel, data);Here's my client:` var socket = io.connect('http://localhost:3000'); socket.on('message', function (data) { //Just console the message and user right now. console.log(data.message+" " + data.user); });`Here's my server: Here's a link to the server. I tried multiple times to format this, but can't get it right.I've already asked a question about this on stacks. Note, I'm also using laravel on the backend. I'm pretty positive that this isn't a Laravel problem though. Here's the repository for this project.I'm more than happy to gild anyone that provides me an answer. This question is literally stopping me from finishing an entire project. Thank you all for your time.

Sequelize migration/model CLI workflow question.

There isn't a ton of information in the docs on the use of the CLI with regards to migrations. From what I can gather, it goes something like this:Use the CLI to automatically make as fleshed out a migration as possible. And as flashed out as possible seems to be essentially just the column names. I haven't found a way to add more properties to the columns, such as default values or associations, from the CLI.Get a timestamped migration and a model which includes a partial database schematic pertaining to that tables columns and associations.Go in and redundantly add all the properties you need, such as associations, default values, allowNulls ect..., to both the model and the migration.Because of step 3 I think I've got this wrong. There is so much redundant code there. I think about how Rails does this by the migrations automatically generating the corresponding schema and I think that this has got to be sort of similar in its best flow. But I'm super green and not exactly sure how it works. Thanks!

CSS and Javascript files being blocked due to MIME type mismatch

First off, I'm sorry for posting here. But I'm running out of places I know of where I can ask for help. If I'm posting this in the wrong place, I'm sorry, and I would be greatfull if you could point me somewhere where I can post it.I have been getting this error of The resource from “[URL and name of file]” was blocked due to MIME type mismatch (X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff). for all of my CSS and Javascript files.The setup I currently have is a node.js server using Express and Express-Handlebars for routing and templates. I'm sure the issue is down to my routing of files which would have requests of dealing with routes like /movies/:id or /search/query:. I have kinda fixed the issue by creating two links to CSS and Javascript files in my main.hbs file (The one which is the default main template), one with a link from / and another for /something/something. Terrible practice I know. But up until now, it worked.But this is why I am asking for help in solving the MIME type mismatch error once and for all. Because when I have uploaded it to my Digital Ocean server, it won't work at all. And I have no clue on how to fix it.My file structure is as follows:/ views/ css/ js/ layouts/ main.hbs index.js In index.js, I have the code to setup handlebars and some code managing CSS and Javascript files.app.engine('.hbs', exphbs({ defaultLayout: 'main', extname: '.hbs', layoutDir: path.join(__dirname, 'views/layouts') })); app.set('view engine', '.hbs'); app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views')); app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/views')); An example of an route would beapp.get('/search/:query', (request, response) => { // Code goes here }); I'm genuinely stuck on what to do. I feel like I have been to all corners of the internet and I cant find any solution to my issue. Its frustrating and bringing me down massively. I feel that there is nowhere to help me. I know there are more important things, but I'm pissed that I can't find anywhere (or anyone) who is having the same issue I have. Let me know If you need any more context.ThanksEDIT I have gotten that desperate, I will give Reddit Gold to whoever will help me fix my issue.

A problem with child_process.spawn and git bash on Windows

tldr; Can't get child_process.spawn to work correctly with git bash on windows..Hi all,I am trying to use child_process.spawn to ssh to a server and do some stuff. On Ubuntu i can use the following code:let spawn = require('child_process').spawn; let child = spawn('ssh', ['-tt', 'username@host']); It will open a GUI for the passphrase for the private key and it is all working. I can add eventlisteners on stdout, stderr and write to stdin.On windows with git bash (without node ) i can ssh and it asks for the passphrase in bash (no extra GUI like Ubuntu). When doing it with Node using this code:let spawn = require('child_process').spawn; let child = spawn('path/to/git/sh.exe'); child.stdout.on('data', (data) => { console.log(data.toString()); } // Same for stderr child.stdin.setEncoding('utf8'); child.stdin.write('ssh -v -tt username@host \n'); It will stop with giving data to stdout before asking Enter passphrase for key:. It blocks the stdin and there is no error.Now to the question: Is there something wrong with my code, git bash (probably security things?) or is this bad use of child_process.spawn ?Thanks for reading!

Socky - Realtime application framework using WebSockets/JSONRPC

Hi guys,I'm new to this sub so to introduce myself I'd like to share a project I've been working on recently. Socky is a "framework" for the development of realtime applications (web or otherwise) where client/server communication uses WebSockets.http://ift.tt/2kC3qID repo: http://ift.tt/2kgpRWc repo: http://ift.tt/2kBYu6Q've played around with Socket.io, WAMP, and a few other solutions but never really found any of the currently available solutions to be quite what I wanted.The point of "Socky" is to provide a WebSocket replacement for AJAX calls, and allows for RPC calls to be made by both the client and server.For example://listen for "testmethod" call from server socky.onCall('testmethod', call => { console.log('testmethod called...'); socky.respond(call.id, 'it works'); }); Feel free to have a look at the code and let me know what you think. I'd be happy to hear any feedback and of course welcome any contributions.I still haven't written any docs but I have published it on npm, so you run "npm install socky" to get started and check out the tests to see how to run/connect.

User authentication options?

So I've been learning Node/Express for a few months now, and I'm starting to feel pretty comfortable. I have no issues writing routers, connected to DB, writing CRUD API's, etc. I can stand up small apps pretty quickly and overall I really enjoy using it for speed and simplicity.Aside from that, I'm teaming with a more Sr. Dev to work on a side project/startup company (hopefully).I've built out the entire API, front-end and everything. He's working on the 'magic' of the app which is way above my head. Recently, I volunteered to take on the user-authentication, which is one of the last steps to get a functioning MVP.The problem is, I haven't really found anything thats intuitive to use. Before Node, I used Ruby on Rails and the Devise gem was like magic. Plug and play - install it and boom, you have a fully built-out user authentication model.Is there anything like that in Node? I've researched Passport and Stormpath. Passport seems a little too complicated being that you have to work with tokens and sessions (which Devise did automatically) and Stormpath is great, but expensive if your app becomes popular, and all the views are in Jade and i'm already committed to EJSAgain, I'm pretty new to Node, so any advice, hints or general direction would be greatly appreciated. I've been working on this issue, trying different things all day and i'm about to pull my hair out so I thought it'd be time to call in the big guns!Thanks in advance!

Scaling node.js REST API server code to production level

I'm building a simple android/ios app that interfaces with a REST api running on my server. This is a financial application and processes credit card info etc.. I chose to write this in node because it's easy to handle, but now that it is nearing completion I notice that each call from the app to the server is taking about 4 seconds on an average and even longer for some others. Assuming that I want to support millions of concurrent users, with this kind of performance already, it would definitely be a horrible experience with even 100 users I presume.The stack is basically a node API running on an nginx webserver that a website is pointing to and the API functions are accessed through this website.So my questions are :Is there an alternative language (Java/Scala) that would offer me better performance? I ask this because node.js is single threaded and maybe using sockets and multiple threads with another language might help me scale better (?)Big companies are using node.js (Paypal/Netflix), how are they able to provide such seamless interaction with incredible response times?Any basic/fundamental principles that I might be missing that is causing this severe drop in performance?In general, if you were building a large mobile based financial application that basically communicates in a regular client-server fashion, what would your technology stack be, to ensure the best possible experience?Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

Why are there no good resources for hosting your node application?

I concede I am a noob, but honestly everything I find in regards to running/hosting your node application (just a basic HTTP server in my case) typically directs you to running it on the cloud with services like Heroku. That's dandy and all, but really, I'd prefer to run it on my own machine. This is a small hobby project and I don't need anything extensive. The only other resource I've found was 'iisnode' which looked neat, but it's really designed to be run on a Windows Server rather than a Windows 10 home installation.Of course when I say hosting I imply being able to connect from outside my own localhost. I've never put an application/site into production before so I'm a little lost. Am I just going about this all wrong, or is there really been no good standard in place yet? I would greatly appreciate any help in getting me pointed in the right direction. I'd be glad to clarify and provide any information about the app/my system that would help.

Do I have this right? (Origin and relationships between Node, NPM, and frameworks like Express v. other languages)

My noobtalk. Is it right? :In the beginning, there was Node, a pretty neat and popular javascript server with this really cool events loop in it.Then, people started pimping with packages for automation and other bells and whistles.Eventually, npm became a management tool for all that pimping.Finally, frameworks such as Express were built as packages for Node too.So, someone coming from say a Ruby background can think of gems and packages very similarly.One curious difference to me here is that RubyGems is a package manager for Ruby, the language, whereas NPM is a package manager for Node, the server. What's going on there?

From the node docs on handling request bodies: "We can grab the data right out of the stream by listening to the stream's 'data' and 'end' events." How does the stream know when say the end is not near to designate 'data' instead of 'end'.

Multithreading?

I know "the point" of node is its async, non-blocking events and file system model. However, some tasks (e.g. image processing) require performing many thousands or millions of sometimes complex computations on in-memory objects and does not benefit from this model.Languages like C# allow you to turn for loops into Parallel.For loops which spin off worker threads and handle the gritty parts for you, while allowing complete utilization of an arbitrary number of cores.From a cursory google, node does not have this. There are some libraries on npm for e.g. tasks, but nothing that allows multithreaded computation with resources shared between the threads. Is this possible in node?

Managing multiple windows with node+electron?

Hey guys, I've been struggling for hours to do this and it's beyond driving me crazy at this point. I'm a node newbie, found electron, and thought a cool way to work on my JS skills in general would be to make an app my gf has always wanted, something similar to the macOS stickies app but in windows. However, I've had a hell of a time wrapping me head around how to make this work in electron, as the only "main" portion of the app should be the top menu bar - there is no actual main windows, just as many stickies as the user decides to add.I did find this module which supposedly makes managing multiple windows easier, but it has led me to nothing but horus of frustration. I cannot even get the simplest main process implementation working. I have two current problems: I can only get the template to show up if I make it the defaultLayout, and no matter what I cannot get the content of the page I'm trying to load into the template's . It doesn't even make sense to me how this module pulls in files or browsers the directory structure at all.Here's my directory structure:app/ css/ img/ js/ layouts/ notecard.html index.html menu.html node_modules/ main.js package.json And my main.js code:// Requires var electron = require('electron'); var app = electron.app; var BrowserWindow = electron.BrowserWindow; var windowManager = require('electron-window-manager'); var mainWindow = null; function createWindow() { windowManager.init({ 'layouts': { 'default': '/app/layouts/notecard.html' } // 'defaultLayout': 'default' }); windowManager.open('index', 'Welcome to this thing hopefully','/app/index.html'); } When I comment out the default layout line, nothing works. When I include it, the layout actually gets loaded (code below):

TESTING TESTING
Hello, may I have a word? Have you every heard about TESTING?

TESTING TESTING
Hello, may I have a word? Have you every heard about TESTING?

No matter what I do, it just displays on the page, and does not pull in any content. Why is this so hard? The documentation makes it seem so easy. What am I doing wrong here to where I basically cannot get anything to work?

How to send an HTTP response (for example using Express), when a "unhandledRejection" promise error occures?

I'm quite new to Node and I'm currently developing a project using Express.I have to admit I find it very hard to setup error management!Let's say that, during an HTTP request, an error occures inside a Promise (who doesn't make errors?) and the error is not handled properly in the catch block (or a new Error occures in the catch block!).It seems that the mecanism provided by Node to deal with this situation is to add a unhandledRejection global handler:process.on('unhandledRejection', handle(reason, p) { // log the error }); But, in this global handler, we do not have access to the Express's response object so we can't send a 500 error to the client! The request will hangs until it timeouts...The only suggestion I've seen to deal with this is from this thread:app.use(function (req, res, next) { var l = process.on('unhandledRejection', function(reason, p) { console.log("Unhandled Rejection:", reason.stack); res.status(500).send('Unknown Error'); //next(reason); }); next(); process.removeEventLister('unhandledRejection', l); }); What do you think about this solution? Do some of you actually use something similar in production?Otherwise, how do you deal with unhandled promise rejections in your applications?

Update page from data sent from a Post request in Express

"I'm learning Express and I am trying to build something kinda like bit.ly's web page (The url shortener and stuff) Right now I can get the links to be displayed on page and everything but when I refresh the page the link is still there, it doesn't disappear until I restart the server; I can generate new links and it's replaced but if I refresh the page it doesn't go away."That was a problem that I had and someone answered me that it was because some variables were set to the global scope and when I changed their values they stayed like that after each refresh. I asked about what could be a fix for this so I can still pass the variables to the templating engine and change the value of these with the information of the post request and the answer was that I could make the postreturn a JSON object with the data instead of doing a redirect. Then do the POST async from the client and display the data.My question is how can I do that last part? The POST async from the client and display the data. This is my code. I could see the error that I was having before but I don't know exactly how can I keep the same behavior with the suggestion that I got.var data; var url; /* GET home page. */ router.get('/', (req, res, next) => { res.render('index', { 'data': data, 'url': url}); }); /* POST HANDLER */ router.post('/link', function(req, res, next) { url = req.body.link; bitly.shorten(url) .then(response => { data = response.data.url; res.redirect("/"); }); }); I was using a form but changed it to a jQuery request:$('#shortLink').on('click', () => { $.ajax({ type: 'POST', url: '/link', data: {link: $('#linkInput').val()}, success: data => { console.log(data); } }); }); And that's it. Hope someone can help me or tell me if I need to explain my issue more in depth. Thanks.

OpenID code grant using IDP (with Auth0)

Hey /r/node,I'm currently learning about OAuth and OpenID and I had one question regarding the id_token (JWT containing the user claims).I'm using Auth0 with an external identity provider (IDP) using SAML.I have my backend server with a /login route. This redirects the user to the auth0 /authorize endpoint, which in turn redirects to the IDP's login page.User logs in and is redirected back to my backend route; /login/check with the code in the querystring. Pretty straight forward so far. The backend then calls the auth0 /token endpoint to retrieve the access and id tokens.This is where my question arises... Should I return the id_token back to the user at this point or should it be kept on the backend? I've spotted some comments here and there saying the token is safer stored on the backend, but this doesn't make sense to me.My backend at this point has access to the secret (trusted) so it has no real need for the token and instead needs to verify the users authentication. If I return the id_token to the user then happy days, they have a token that I can verify and all is well.This id_token can't be used to access the IDP directly, only really allows access to my own application.What would be the alternative to returning the id_token here? And is my implementation above odd or pretty standard when it comes to using IDPs in Auth0?

Question about Node, Express, and dynamic routing.

I have started to get the hang of Node and have started playing with express to display some very very simple pages. Right now I have a chat bot for twitch. The users are all pulled from a database and stored in memory. I would like to use express to display some very basic information about a user by going to /username. I can make it work by hardcoding app.get statements likeapp.get('/azazael13', function (req,res) { res.send (stuff for that user); }); I would like to be able to do this automatically by going through my list of users, and having express generate the pages on the fly. Is this possible? If not, is there a solution that would work that doesn't require hardcoding?

What I'm trying to do is avoid actually creating any files at all, and just somehow stream the doc.pdf straight to the browser as a response.Is this possible or do I have to do something like send the doc.pdf as a response and then delete the doc.pdf and doc.log file immediately afterwards manually?Any help would be appreciated.

However, I'm confused about what the exact structure of such a project should be, and how to handle deployment.Should I have one client folder and one server folder in an overarching project folder? If so, how do I handle that in deployment and tell Heroku or Docker to display my static files? What are your project structures or "best practices" for this.

Node Equivalents of Ansible, Salt, Chef, Puppet, etc.?

I have an all NodeJS team and need to start planning an upcoming DevOps project (imagine a customer signs up and we automatically deploy them a wordpress with it's own database and configurations, except instead of wordpress it's our other product and the deployment requirements are slightly more complicated). I don't have a full idea of what advantages those tools (Ansible, Salt, Chef, Puppet) will give me over a small SQL+express app with npm ssh2 and bash scripts. I consider myself pretty fluent in linux/bash, so I'm actually a little worried about these kinds of tools abstracting too much away unnecessarily. If it matters, we're going to be first using AWS and might try to explore some light compatibility with GCE and other providers later. Autoscaling and high availability are not high priorities for this.Any package suggestions, thoughts on direction I go into or look at, etc.. would be much appreciated.

How can I correctly install Node on Ubuntu 14.04 (allowing for global installs without sudo)?

I installed Node on Ubuntu 14.04 by running the commands shown here:curl -sL http://ift.tt/26PL3TG | sudo -E bash - sudo apt-get install -y nodejs After that, I ran npm config get prefix and the output was /usr. I tried install something globally (using npm install -g), but got an EACCES error. I went to the "Fixing npm permissions" page and saw that option 1 (Change the permission to npm's default directory) was not an option if npm config get prefix outputs just /usr. So now I have a few questions:Why does the official method of installing Node not allow global installs without sudo?Why does the official method of installing Node install it into /usr and not /usr/local?What is the best way to deal with this? Is it following the instructions for option 2 (Change npm's default directory to another directory) to set the prefix to /usr/local? That doesn't seem right because then wouldn't every user on the system who wants to use Node have to update their PATH or set the NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX environment variable?

Multiple event listeners?

I'm trying to work around a problem to do with rest streaming between the Nest API and a service (SmartThings) that does not support streaming.To get around this, I have built a service on Sails which takes a post request from SmartThings containing the Nest Token, and then triggers an EventSource event listener that sends the data back to SmartThings.I can easily do this through the browser, however this requires the user to keep the window open which isn't suitable since this needs to be running 24/7.The only way I can think to do this is to create Node service whereby users can initiate a call to my site, that starts the process - almost a multi version of this: http://ift.tt/2jW6n5E problem with this is that I cant figure out a way to control this. When the user starts the stream, there is no way for them to manage it or stop it so the listener will run indefinitely.Does anyone know how I can control this? The only thing I can think of is to create a process for every listener, but there would be in excess of 5000 processes...Any suggestions?

Socket.io customer support application architecture design. Looking for opinions

Hello, I am building a customer support chat application connecting end consumers to agents with a backend panel. Each consumer is connected to an agent and an agent can accept multiple chats. I am using node.js and socket.io to build this app. Currently I see the architecture this way. Server will have one socket connection with end consumer and one socket connection with an agent. I'm thinking to have agent sockets on a different namespace(for e.g. '/admin'). Whenever a consumer socket connection is created, it is mapped to an agent socket connection and I will maintain this mapping in a persistent data store. Eventually, idea is to replace agents with bots. I would like to hear opinions on this design, any problems I will face, whether this can be scalable or not. Anything you think I should be wary about.

Hi all. I'm getting into Javascript more and want to build a website. I'm building out the backend first, starting with the database. Here's my situation:-I'm going with Express.js for the project.-I'll have a DB that will start off on local files but can transfer to a server. I've tried PostgreSQL so far.-The traffic and complexity of the website will not be high.-I'm open to anything that will fit this criteria-I have my database schema all marked up on paper, but can't find out how people express this in their code.-I'm currently on Ubuntu, and don't have $$ to buy software.The issue is that for the life of me I cannot figure out how to properly get SQL software up and running, or anything for that matter. I can't even find code that expresses how to set up a relationship between 2 tables.I've been trying with software that contains GUI's for relational database models, but at this point I'd be happy with anything. I just suck at installing stuff and I've spent 7 hours trying to implement PostgreSQL with no results.If you were me, and you had my requirements and impediments, where would you start? What software/tools would you use? What articles would you read to give you the proper information? Keep in mind that I've been reading lots of documents for what I'm trying to download, but that's so much that I just have trouble understanding with downloads.

help using nvm and node on debian

So I've installed the nodejs package from the debian repos, and aliased the command with node. When I run node --version I get 4.7.2, the version listed in the debian repos.Then I installed the node version manager nvm and ran nvm install node && nvm use node and it says node version 7.4.0 was installed but when I run node --version Im still using v4.7.2.The reason this is an issue is because I am using the node module sequelize and sqlite3 but I'm getting the error below and many of the resolutions seem to deal with upgrading to node v5+ Error: Please install sqlite3 package manually

Proper way to get out of "Callback Hell" and update a record that has columns that rely on other collections/tables.

I am trying to update a user record based on a password and two dropdowns but only if they are changed. So far I can't get out of Callback Hell and this is the closest thing I have to working:router.post('/', function (req, res, next) { if (req.session.user_id) { mongoose.model('User').findById(req.session.user_id, function (err, user) { if (err) throw err; if (user) { mongoose.model('Table1').findOne({ name: req.body.t1 }, function (err, rec1) { if (err) throw err; mongoose.model('Table2').findOne({ name: req.body.t2 }, function (err, rec2) { if (err) throw err; if (req.body.password) { user.password = req.body.password; } if (user.col1 !== rec1._id) { user.col1 = rec1._id; } if (user.col2 !== rec2._id) { user.col2 = rec2._id; } user.save(function(err) { res.redirect('/settings'); // is there a scope issue here? }); }); }); } }); } }); I'm not sure how to fix this... Any and all suggestions are welcome! Thanks for the advice in advance!

I'm confused about how to use promises to query a postgres database. Looking for advice!

Hey guys,for a new little project, I thought I'd use promises for my database-related stuff, as it seems to become the new standard - I have never used promises before though! I use PostgreSQL and pg-promise. My basic understanding is, that instead of having subsequent queries in nested callbacks, the queries will be chained one after the other. But I don't understand fully how that works.I have the following code in a /register route of a server:db.one("SELECT EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM users WHERE name=$1) AS 'exists'", [name]) .then(function(data) { if(data.exists) { res.json({ "success": false, "flag": "name_taken" }); } else { //TODO: insert new user } }).catch(function(error) { next(error); }); The first query checks whether the user name is available, and now I have to integrate a second query, that insert the new user. I am confused, about how that should be done. Shoud I:chain a second .then() and do the query inside of thator: execute the query inside the first .then(), and return the resulting data, subsequently handling it in a second .then()Or ar both of these wrong?Any advice appreciated ;)

Best way to integrate a simple windows c++ application into my node app?

Hey guys!I have extensive node and javascript experience but something I've never touched was writing c++ modules. I made this spotify application that listens for a hotkey and saves your current song, and I wrote the listening part in java but it... doesn't really work. Mostly because I do some messed up stuff with ChildProcess to make everything run in the background ( as opposed to having a console window open ). And when I do press the hotkey, a console window pops up for a split second and minimizes full screen applications. Which sucks.So I need to make the listening to a global hotkey in c++ and it would be fantastic if could integrate that into my node.js application directly instead of calling exec. Also, maybe someone knows a better way to make this run silently in the background??Thanks a ton!

Unit Testing a Controller with http responses

HiIm fairly new to unit testing. I was wondering what would be the best way to unit test a function in my controller that deals with http responses. An example of a function is below:/**Gets all users *@param {Object} req request@param {Object} res response@param {Function} next function to call in middleware*/var getAll = function(req, res, next) {userService.getAllUsers().then(function(result) { res.status(200).json(result); }).catch(next); };I'm currently using libraries such as chai and mocha to test out my services but that was fairly straight forward as I was dealing with input coming in and output being returned. I'm not quite sure what to do in this case where nothing is really being returned but a http response is being made.I've searched for some help but what comes up when looking for unit testing with http responses seems to be more along the lines of integration tests rather than unit testing .Any suggestions for methods or libraries to unit test this kind of function would be greatly appreciated. :)edit: This is the first time im posting here so im not entire sure how to put the code above in a block.

Newb question, what is const wordCount = {} ?

Does anyone know of a npm package that allows you to require a module from anywhere?

I'm looking for a package that allows you to require a module that exists anywhere in your codebase without having to know the exact path, basically:a.js ---- // this file somehow provides module "foo" b.js ---- const foo = require('foo'); // instead of '../../../lib/module/foo' This allows you to cleanly organize your project however you see fit, and to re-organize it without changing tons of require() statements.Google does this via goog.provide('moduleName'), Facebook does it via @providesModule moduleName. I don't want to use Google's because I don't like closure, and I can't find a specifically open-source version of FB's (it's embedded in fbjs & libs like React & Relay)Possible solutions might be generating the import maps for browserify, flow, etc, or symlinking tons of files in node_modules

Trying to find good design pattern for handling many different types of errors (mongoose, redis, express) in a REST API

Title says it all. I built and launched my first production API using express, mongoose, and redis a few months ago and one of the things that I was really unhappy with was my error handling code. Right now it just looks and feels like a giant mess. I'm trying to find a way to cleanly organize all of the possible error handling I could want to do, especially when using libraries to utilize various tools like mongoose for mongodb and the node redis module for redis. You can have so many different types of errors, especially with mongoose and needing to validate and sanitize user input from the client. I've been doing research on this subject and the examples I can find are usually way too simple and also it seems that it's very hard for everyone to agree on something.This new API that I am currently working on is not that big, but at the same time it's not just a simple side project so I would like to find a simple and clean way to handle these errors this time. So far the only thing that I think I know for sure, is that I want to have an errors.js file with custom functions or constructor functions that I can funnel all of my errors into when they happen in my middleware or my controllers.I did come across some really good StackOverflow questions in regards to managing mongoose validation errors, but the I'm not sure how valid the answers are or if anything is outdated as things seem to change so rapidly in node:http://ift.tt/2iSeQaR put it simply, I just need a way to handle all types of errors in general, but also a clean way to manage things like validation errors from mongoose, and also general errors when interacting with redis. Right now I have some nasty code in my controllers and middleware and I'd love to find a better way to organize it. I'd also like to be able to end up with a nice json response for the client, that in some cases has a specific error message to show the user eg. signup validation error.I realize there are multiple ways you could handle this, but as someone new to node and building API's, I'd love to hear, even at a high level, how all of you have approached the problems I'm describing and what your solutions look like.As always thanks for the help!

Using a JSON file as a database returns data faster then a dedicated Mysql server?

an example data block from the JSON file.{ "Name": "testing", "Private": "yes", "Project_Index": "index\r\nproject.json\r\nextras", "Readme": "", "Contributors": "everyone", "Creator": "myself", "Language": "", "Version": "all the versions", "UsernameDB": "", "PasswordDB": "", "Comment": "", "UserCommented": "", "TimeStamp": "0000-00-00", "Project_comments": . } There are a few hundred blocks like that, of varying sizes, the code requires it like a module, then loops through it until it finds a match then returns the block that contains the match. Its nearly twice as fast as MySQL, with the same data, I exported the JSON data directly from Phpmyadmin so the data is exactly the same. Is mysql just slow or does JSON just better for my purpose? Any input appreciated, I am kinda confused on this. Thank you.

Looking for a lightweight persistent database (which ISN'T in-memory)

Hey guys,So I'm looking for a simple lightweight database that persists on disk for use with an Electron application I'm working on. I looked at NeDB, but found out that it keeps a copy of the database in memory at all times -- and this won't work for me because I'm expecting an extremely large number of records, and MongoDB isn't something that you can just bundle as part of an Electron app.Do you have any suggestions for me?

Deploying node app

Hi there. I've used previosly capistrano to deploy my rails app to remote vps. Now i'm working with node apps. What library can i use to have this same flow: i push to github, trigger locally deploy , library calls remote agents, makes them pull changes, build app and assets and restart server. Or this is not really good? What is the modest approach?
