Site maps are a very important aspect of SEO optimization. Google and other search engines can use a sitemap to figure out where all your pages are and how they link together. In this tutorial, we will be creating an automated site map with Node.JS and Express.
I will be using MongoDB as the database tool, but if you use MySQL or something else, you can easily swap these components out.
The following code is a sample Node server implemented with the Express.js framework. Tests for the app are written through the Mocha framework.
In this article, we will build and test the code with npm (suggested GitHub workflow). Once all the tests pass, build the Docker image, push it into the Docker hub, and use GitHub secrets to store the credentials.
The founding team at HarperDB built the first and only database written in Node.js. A few months back, our CEO Stephen Goldberg was invited to speak at a Women Who Code meetup to share the story of this (what some called crazy) endeavor. Stephen discussed the architectural layers of the database, demonstrated how to build a highly scalable and distributed product in Node.js, and demoed the inner workings of HarperDB. You can watch his talk at the link above, and even read a post from back in 2017, but since we all love Node.js and it’s an interesting topic, I’ll summarize here.
The main (and simplest) reason we chose to build a database in Node is that we knew it really well. We got flak for not choosing to Go, but people now accept that Go and Node are essentially head to head (in popularity and community support). Zach, one of our co-founders, recognized that with the time it would have taken to learn a new language, it would never be worth it.
Docker has revolutionized how Node.js developers create and deploy applications. But developing a Node.js Docker application can be slow and clunky. The main culprit: the process for testing your code in development.
In this article, we’ll show a tutorial and example on how you can use Docker’s host volumes and nodemon to code faster and radically reduce the time you spend testing.
A stream is an abstract interface that lets you perform specific tasks continuously. A stream is an EventEmitter that implements different methods. A user can use streams to perform a variety of tasks, like read, write, and transform functions.
In a Node.js environment, streams are used to work with streaming data. It provides users with an API that helps them in creating the streaming interface. The data here is received in parts and is read in parts as well.
