Node Js The Comprehensive Guide

Node.js Complete Reference Guide

Node.js Complete Reference Guide is your one-stop solution to building highly scalable, single-language applications that share code between the server and client Key Features Explore the latest JavaScript features and EcmaScript modules Walk through different stages of developing robust applications using Node.js 10 Create rich and scalable RESTful API solutions from scratch Book Description Node.js Complete Reference Guide takes you through rudimentary knowledge of JavaScript and server-side development to create, maintain, deploy, and test your own Node.js applications. You will begin by learning how to use the HTTP Server and Client objects, store data with both SQL and MongoDB databases, and unit test applications with Mocha 5.x, and functionally test them with Puppeteer 1.1.x. Then, you will learn to create scalable and rich RESTful applications on the Node.js platform and write a simple HTTP request handler with self-descriptive URLs. You will learn to set accurate HTTP status codes, study how to keep your applications backward-compatible and explore some authentication techniques to secure your application. Then, you will study how Node.js has emerged as a strong candidate for developing microservices. With this Learning Path, you will be able to use the best practices and create efficient microservices. This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: RESTful Web API Design with Node.js 10, Third Edition by Valentin Bojinov Node.js Web Development, Fourth Edition by David Herron Hands-On Microservices with Node.js by Diogo Resende What you will learn Work with REST service development using the Restify framework Use data storage engines, such as MySQL, SQLITE3, and MongoDB in apps Apply user authentication methods with OAuth2 Perform real-time communication with the front-end using Socket.IO Implement Docker microservices in development, testing, and deployment Perform unit testing with Mocha 5.x and functional testing with Puppeteer 1.1.x Use self-descriptive URLs and set accurate HTTP status codes Deploy a cloud-native microservice to an online provider Who this book is for Node.js Complete Reference Guide is designed for web developers who have a rudimentary understanding of JavaScript and web application development, are keen to enrich their development skills to create RESTful applications, and want utilize their skills to build microservices.

Learning Node.js

This is the eBook of the printed book and may not include any media, website access codes, or print supplements that may come packaged with the bound book. Learning Node.js brings together the knowledge and JavaScript code needed to build master the Node.js platform and build server-side applications with extraordinary speed and scalability. You’ll start by installing and running Node.js, understanding the extensions it uses, and quickly writing your first app. Next, building on the basics, you’ll write more capable application servers and extend them with today’s most powerful Node.js tools and modules. Finally, you’ll discover today’s best practices for testing, running Node.js code on production servers, and writing command-line utilities. Throughout the book, author Marc Wandschneider teaches by walking the reader line-by-line through carefully crafted examples, demonstrating proven techniques for creating highly efficient applications and servers. The second edition updates coverage of Node.js to reflect changes in the technology and how it is used in the three years since the first edition was published: Explanation of Node's new versioning scheme Updated coverage of Streams New coverage of installation using pre-build installers rather than from source code New coverage of Mongoose in the section on MongoDB New information about deploying Node on Heroku and Azure Expansion of coverage on testing If you're a developer who wants to build server-side web applications with Node.js, Learning Node.js is your fatest route to success. Build Node.js solutions that leverage current JavaScript skills Master Node.js nonblocking IO and async programming Handle more requests and increase an application’s flexibility Use and write modules Perform common JSON/web server tasks Use browsers to generate pages on the fly via Ajax calls and template libraries Simplify development with the Express framework Create database back-ends using popular NoSQL and relational databases Deploy and run Node.js apps on Unix/macOS or Windows servers Deploy apps to Heroku and Microsoft Azure Support virtual hosts and SSL/HTTPS security Test Node.js programs that mix synchronous, async, and RESTful server API functionality
