Example
# Variables aren’t typed or declared
x = 2 + 2
# Everything is an expression
height = if isMobile then 300 else 800
# As in JS, easily declare arrays and objects
arr = [1, 2, 3]
obj = {year: 2004, model: "Camry"}

Example
# Parentheses are optional in function calls
Math.pow(2, n) == Math.pow 2, n
# Useful for functional-style invocations
squares = util.map [1, 2, 3], (x) -> x * x
# String interpolation is awesome...
console.log "#{x} + #{y} = #{x+y}"
# ...especially when compared to vanilla JS strings
console.log "" + x + " + " + y + " = " + (x + y)

Destructuring Assignment...?
Example
# Quickly assign multiple values
[quotient, remainder] = divide 7, 3
# Take apart and put together objects easily
{age, name} = dbResult
x = 3
point = {x, y: 4}

CoffeeScript NodeBasics Node in Practice Conclusion Libraries express Socket.IO Backbone swig Libraries Web server framework: express Async control flow: async Client-server sync + MVC: Backbone ”Push” framework: Socket.IO Client library: jQuery/Prototype Templates: swig/Mustache/Hogan Utilities: Underscore Libraries and dependencies handled with Node Package Manager (npm) Joe Einertson Node.js
- 23. What is Node? CoffeeScript NodeBasics Node in Practice Conclusion Libraries express Socket.IO Backbone swig express express is a widely used wrapper over the built-in Node HTTP library. Example express = require ’express’ app = express() app.get ’/news/:slug’, (req, res) -> res.send "You want the news about #{req.slug}!" app.get ’/*’, (req, res) -> res.sendfile ’index.html’ app.listen(8000) Joe Einertson Node.js
- 24. What is Node? CoffeeScript NodeBasics Node in Practice Conclusion Libraries express Socket.IO Backbone swig Socket.IO Socket.IO provides a ”push” framework - essentially, a pipe between server and client. Example (Server) socketIO = require ’socket.io’ io = socketIO.listen(app) io.on ’connection’, (socket) -> ClientManager.add socket socket.on ’getData’, (username) -> socket.emit ’data’, cache.findPerson(username) Joe Einertson Node.js

- 26. What is Node? CoffeeScript NodeBasics Node in Practice Conclusion Libraries express Socket.IO Backbone swig Backbone Backbone provides the client a MVC model as well as automatic client-server syncing. Example (Models) class Message extends Backbone.Model initialize: -> @on ’change:message’, ’addEditMsg’ addEditMsg: -> newMsg = "#{ @get ’message’ } (Edited)" # Use silent: true to prevent infinite loop @set {message: newMsg}, {silent: true} Joe Einertson Node.js
