This document discusses building scalable network applications using Node.js. It begins with an introduction to Node.js, describing it as a software platform built on the Chrome V8 engine for building scalable applications using JavaScript on the server side. It then discusses why to use Node.js, noting that its single-threaded and event-driven model avoids issues with memory usage that can occur in multi-threaded models. The document proceeds to explain event loops and non-blocking I/O in Node.js. It then provides an example of building a simple web server with Node.js. Finally, it introduces Express.js and provides an overview of how to structure an Express application using MVC patterns with models, views,

6. SO,
WHAT IS NODE.JS?

7. V8 Engine
JS on Server Side
Single Thread
Event Loop
Non-Blocking I/O

8. WHY TO USE
NODE.JS?

9. I/O is Expensive

10. Apache:Memory
usage increases
per connection
Nginx:Constant
memory usage
per connection,
because nginx
uses event loop
mechanism

11. Dealing with I/O Problems
● Synchronous - One request at a time
● Fork - New process for each request
● Thread - New thread for each request

12. Thread per request is memory expensive!
What if all threads are busy?
Multithread code is;
● difficult to debug
● difficult to write
● in efficiently performed

13. How about this answer?
Single thread with non-blocking I/O

14. WHAT IS EVENT LOOP
AND NON-BLOCKING
I/O?

15. Blocking I/O
Busy
process
Block process until
job is done
Process
available
Non-Blocking I/O
Event Stack
cb
Do the job and
notify program when
it’s done

16. Assign jobs to event stack, you will be
notified
One single thread can handle entire
program
Traditional threaded architecture is not
an easy thing
More thread means more process,
equals more memory
Min cost, speed development
Scalable architecture
Callback functions

17. SEEMS COOL, HOW
ABOUT CODING?

18. You know JS? Then you
code
NPM (Node Package
Manager)
Available
Windows/Linux/MAC
Webstorm is the best,
also use notepad++

19. npm install “module_name”
Import module with “require”
File : server.js
Simple web server!!!
node server.js

20. To test web server, go to url http://127.0.0.1:1337
What about if you try to make a system have such url:
http://127.0.0.1:1337/product/1234.html ???

21. ANSWER:EXPRESS.JS

22. Sinatra inspired web development
framework for node.js

23. HOWTO START?

24. You have already installed node.js before…
npm install express -g
That’s it! You can use express framework on your
project

25. Ideal project structure for nodejs
based web applications

26. Model
{mongoose}
View
{jade}
Controller
{express
built-in fns}

27. A quick scenario…
● User goes http://127.0.0.1:1337/tickets/devfestticket54332.html
● System fetchs ticket information from db by using
id(54332)
● Assign ticket information to view
● Render view and send to user browser

28. MODEL DESIGNING

29. Ticket = new Schema({
tId:{
type:String,
required:true
},
title:{
type:String,
required:true
},
organizationDate:{
type:Date,
required:true
},
owner:{
type:String,
validate:[validator({
length:{
min:3,
max:20
}
}), "username"],
required:false,
default:"anonymous"
}
});
Yes, model definition in json format. Actually, all
the data in nodejs world are in json format.
Model definition is done. This model should be
exists under “models” folder.
Require this model when you need to use
Assume this model defined in a file called
“Ticket.js”

30. CONTROLLER

31. *Controller isthe behaviour of your program
*Put your controller definition files under “controller” folder.

32. VIEW

33. View files are under “views” folder.
You can use template engines with express.js, in this scenario, “jade” used
Create ticket-detail.jade, put it under “views” folder

34. Indendation based template engine

35. COMBINE ALL

36. Controllers,
Views, Models
managed by main
bootstrap file
called “app.js”

Go to project
folder and say
3
node app.js
