Philosophy

• Just enough core-library to do I/O

• Non-blocking

• Close to the underlaying system calls
Benevolent Dictator For Life




          Ryan Dahl
Concurrency Model
Non-blocking I/O

var fs = require('fs');

fs.readFile('test.txt', function(err, data) {
  if (err) throw err;

  console.log('Read file: ', data);
});

console.log('Reading file ...');
Single Threaded
var a = [];
function f() {
  a.push(1);
  a.push(2);
}

setTimeout(f, 10);
setTimeout(f, 10);
API Overview
CommonJS Modules
$ cat hello.js
exports.world = function() {
   return 'Hello World';
};

$ cat main.js
var hello = require('./hello');
console.log(hello.world());

$ node main.js
Hello World
Child processes
$ cat child.js
var cmd = 'echo hello; sleep 1; echo world;',
    spawn = require('child_process').spawn,
    child = spawn('sh', ['-c', cmd]);

child.stdout.on('data', function(chunk) {
  console.log(chunk.toString());
});

$ node child.js
"hellon"
# 1 sec delay
"worldnn"
Http Server
$ cat http.js
var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function(req, res) {
  setTimeout(function() {
    res.writeHead(200);
    res.end('Thanks for waiting!');
  }, 1000);
}).listen(4000);

$ curl localhost:4000
# 1 sec delay
Thanks for waiting!
Tcp Server
$ cat tcp.js
var tcp = require('tcp');
tcp.createServer(function(socket) {
  socket.on('connect', function() {
    socket.write("Hi, How Are You?n> ");
  });
  socket.on('data', function(data) {
    socket.write(data);
  });
}).listen(4000);

$ nc localhost 4000
Hi, How Are You?
> Great!
Great!
DNS

$ cat dns.js
var dns = require('dns');
dns.resolve('nodejs.org', function(err, addresses) {
 console.log(addresses);
});

$ node dns.js
[ '8.12.44.238' ]
Watch File
$ cat watch.js
var fs = require('fs');
fs.watchFile(__filename, function() {
  console.log('You changed me!');
  process.exit(0);
});

$ node watch.js
# edit watch.js
You changed me!
