A nodejs application
8 likes2,331 views
This document describes a Node.js application, including the concepts used, modules incorporated, extracted modules, dependency management using ndistro, design decisions, and hosting options. CommonJS and linting were used as concepts. Popular modules included connect, express, ejs, mongoose, and log4js. Modules were extracted for daemon functionality, properties parsing, and models. Ndistro was used to manage dependencies by downloading modules from GitHub. The application structure and bootstrap process were part of the design. Joyent and Heroku were mentioned as hosting platforms.

A nodejs application
- 1. A NODE.JS APPLICATION Robbie Clutton
- 2. NOT ANOTHER NODE.JS HELLO WORLD • An application built to run on node.js • Concepts • Modules used for the application • Modules extracted from the application • How dependencies of modules was managed • Design decisions made during development • Hosting
- 3. NOT ANOTHER NODE.JS HELLO WORLD • An application built to run on node.js • Concepts • Modules used for the application • Modules extracted from the application • How dependencies of modules was managed • Design decisions made during development • Hosting
- 4. CONCEPTS • CommonJS (http://www.commonjs.org) • Lint (http://www.javascriptlint.com/)
- 5. NOT ANOTHER NODE.JS HELLO WORLD • An application built to run on node.js • Concepts • Modules used for the application • Modules extracted from the application • How dependencies of modules was managed • Design decisions made during development • Hosting
- 6. TOOLBOX • nodejs - server side javascript vm (http://nodejs.org/) • connect - middleware (http://github.com/senchalabs/connect) • express - sinatra like routing (http://expressjs.com/) • ndistro - dependencies (http://github.com/visionmedia/ndistro) • ejs - view templates (http://github.com/visionmedia/ejs) • mongoose- mongodb driver(http://github.com/LearnBoost/ mongoose) • log4js - logging (http://github.com/csausdev/log4js-node)
- 7. CONNECT • Middleware framework • Allowsfilters to be added to HTTP processing (e.g. logging, authentication)
- 8. CONNECT EXAMPLE var server = Connect.createServer( Connect.logger(), function(req, res) { res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain' }); res.end('Hello World'); } );
- 9. EXPRESS JS var app = require('express').createServer(); app.get('/', function(req, res){ res.send('hello world'); }); app.listen(3000);
- 10. EJS res.render('show_username.ejs', { locals:{user:user} }); <% if (user) { %> <h2><%= user.name %></h2> <% } %>
- 11. MONGOOSE var mongoose = require('../modules/mongoose/mongoose').Mongoose; var db = mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/tapas'); mongoose.model('User', { 'properties': ['username', 'password', 'first', 'last', ...], 'indexes': ['first', 'last', [{'username':1},{unique: true}]], 'methods': { save: function(fn){ this.updated_at = new Date(); this.__super__(fn); } } }); module.exports = db.model('User');
- 12. LOG4JS var log4js = require('log4js'); log4js.addAppender(log4js.fileAppender('log/app.log'), 'controller.client'); var logger = log4js.getLogger('controller.client'); logger.setLevel('DEBUG'); logger.debug(‘hello, world’); [2010-09-28 19:50:24.816] [DEBUG] controller.user - hello, world
- 13. NOT ANOTHER NODE.JS HELLO WORLD • An application built to run on node.js • Concepts • Modules used for the application • Modules extracted from the application • How dependencies of modules was managed • Design decisions made during development • Hosting
- 14. EXTRACTED MODULES • node-daemon - a module for start-stop functionality without the need for init.d scripts (http://github.com/theteam/node- daemon) • node-properties - a module for reading JSON property files using override pattern borrowed from Ant (http://github.com/ theteam/node-properties) • tapas-models - a module for common data entities with mongodb wrappers - (http://github.com/theteam/tapas- models)
- 15. NOT ANOTHER NODE.JS HELLO WORLD • An application built to run on node.js • Concepts • Modules used for the application • Modules extracted from the application • How dependencies of modules was managed • Design decisions made during development • Hosting
- 16. NDISTRO • Bash script that creates distributions from github for node binaries and modules • Because it’s bash, it can easily be extended • Hash simple syntax • If modules are configured nicely, will symlink modules onto node execution path
- 17. NDISTRO EXAMPLE node 0.2.0 module senchalabs connect module visionmedia express 1.0.0beta2 module visionmedia ejs ./bin/node ./modules/senchalabs/connect ./modules/visionmedia/express ./modules/visionmedia/ejs ./lib/node/connect ./lib/node/express ./lib/node/ejs
- 18. NOT ANOTHER NODE.JS HELLO WORLD • An application built to run on node.js • Concepts • Modules used for the application • Modules extracted from the application • How dependencies of modules was managed • Design decisions made during development • Hosting
- 19. DESIGN DECISIONS • Included everything from: • directory structure • bootstrap and running the application
- 20. NOT ANOTHER NODE.JS HELLO WORLD • An application built to run on node.js • Concepts • Modules used for the application • Modules extracted from the application • How dependencies of modules was managed • Design decisions made during development • Hosting
- 21. HOSTING • Joyent (https://no.de/) • Heroku (http://heroku.com/)
