Javascript vs Clipper/Harbour vs Delphi (Object Pascal)

After deciding to program for nodejs, I started to learn Javascript from scratch and discovered that there are striking similarities with Clipper/Harbour and a bit with Delphi

Similarities

Comments
Javascript, Clipper/Harbour and Delphi supports comments after:

//

/*  */

Differences

Case Sensitivity
Clipper/Harbour, Delphi 
 - case insensitive\

Javascript
- case sensitive, lower case


Variable Typing :
Clipper/Harbour
- strongly typed

Javascript 
- Weakly typed

End of Statement
Javascript
- semi-colon marks end of atatement

Clipper/Harbour -
 No need


FUNCTION Structure

Clipper/Harbour :

FUNCTION  <name> (var1)

RETURN

Javascript :

function <name> (var1 {

return var1 ;
}



More to come...

How to create a simple web server using Nodejs

Example#

An example of a web server written with Node.js which responds with 'Hello World':
const http = require('http');

const hostname = '127.0.0.1';
const port = 3000;

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  res.statusCode = 200;
  res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
  res.end('Hello World\n');
});

server.listen(port, hostname, () => {
  console.log(`Server running at http://${hostname}:${port}/`);
});
To run the server, put the code into a file called example.js and execute it with Node.js:
$ node example.js
Server running at http://127.0.0.1:3000/

Expressjs +Compound : Routing

Explore app structure

Router

Let's start with routes because this is the first place in the compound stack where request handling happens. In other words, when you open http://localhost:3000/lists in your browser, the router should decide what part of the application should handle this request. Routes are configuration rules that explain to the application what paths your application can handle.
Routes are listed in the file config/routes.js which looks like this:
exports.routes = function (map) {
    map.resources('lists');
    map.all(':controller/:action');
    map.all(':controller/:action/:id');
};
The line map.resources('lists'); was added by the list scaffolding generator. The command compound routes will generate a table that shows all the routes that are available to the app.
Note how the line "map.resources('lists');" generates a collection of predefined routes.
     lists GET    /lists.:format?          lists#index
     lists POST   /lists.:format?          lists#create
  new_list GET    /lists/new.:format?      lists#new
 edit_list GET    /lists/:id/edit.:format? lists#edit
      list DELETE /lists/:id.:format?      lists#destroy
      list PUT    /lists/:id.:format?      lists#update
      list GET    /lists/:id.:format?      lists#show
           ALL    /:controller/:action     undefined#undefined
           ALL    /:controller/:action/:id undefined#undefined
In this table the first column shows the route helper name, the second describes the method (aka verb) for the route, the third describes the route itself, and the last column shows the controller#action that handles the request. As you can see, a route is a pattern that defines what a resource request will look like in the address bar of a browser. When a browser asks the server for a route like /lists/1/ the router will test it against these patterns to determine how to handle it.
Note that the word Request has special meaning in Node programming.
It refers to the object created whenever a browser requests the server do anything. To anyone visiting your app in a browser the request is represented by the address in the address bar. To your app the request is represented by the reqobject. That object contains several properties including the address that the browser requested.
To make the process of including routes in pages easier, Compound includes router helpers. The helper name should be used to generate paths, and all route helpers are available as methods on the pathTo object. These next examples show the output of calling the list router helpers:
pathTo.lists() // '/lists'
pathTo.lists({format: 'json'}); // '/lists.json'
pathTo.list(1); // '/lists/1'
pathTo.list(1, {format: 'json'}); // '/lists/1.json'
pathTo.list({id: 1, format: 'json'}); // '/lists/1.json'
pathTo.new_list(); // '/lists/new'
pathTo.edit_list(1); // '/lists/1/edit'
pathTo.edit_list('my-list'); // '/lists/my-list/edit'
By default path helpers are generated with underscores as word separators. This behavior will be changed in future versions and it's highly recommended to add the line map.camelCaseHelperNames = true; to the top of the router file to generate the names in camelCase: newList and editList instead of new_list and edit_list

Expressjs + Compound : Generate scaffolding for Lists

Generate scaffolding for Lists

Run this command:
`compound generate scaffold list name`
It will generate all necessary files for the List model.
if you haven't already done so, stop the server using the CTRL+C hotkey and restart it using node . (or your preferred startup command) so that you can review the changes in your browser.
In development mode every modification of an existing model, controller or view file will be updated automatically, but when you modify routes or schema you have to restart the server manually. Alternatively use the node-dev command (npm install node-dev first) to restart server automatically on every file change.
Now, visit http://localhost:3000/lists to see the new version of your app.
Now that we have some files in our application, it's time to explore the structure. Let's get a brief overview of the files we have to get our new lists CRUD functionality (create-read-update-delete) working.

Expressjs with Compound

First steps: install compound and generate app

  1. if not already installed, install nodejs (v 0.8.0+) - http://nodejs.org/download/. If you have node installed you can test your version with: node --version
  2. install compound using npm. Doing this globally enables the compound command line tool. You might need to sudo.
    npm install compound -g or sudo npm install compound -g
  3. generate the todo-list app using the compound command line. This creates an application with the default compoundjs structure.
    compound init todo-list-app
  4. install the dependencies (see package.json for default dependencies. They will be downloaded to the node_modules dir)
    cd todo-list-app && npm install
Now that we have the initial compound app structure, we can run your new compoundjs application.
Let's run the command node . and then open http://localhost:3000/ in a browser.
NOTE the node . command is simple way to run the application in the current directory. You also can run node server.js or coffee server.coffee or even compound server. the result will be the same, we will learn the differences later.
After opening localhost:3000 in a browser we will see a welcome page with some links and debug info (this appears after you click on the corresponding link). This is a static file located ./public/index.html. Everything in the ./public dir will be available to your app as static content so client-side javascripts and stylesheets should be saved here.
NOTE some javascript files and stylesheets may be generated from coffee or sass / less / stylus. Sources for these files are located at ./app/assets and compiled automatically using co-assets-compiler extension module.

Let's run the command node . and then open http://localhost:3000/ in a browser.
NOTE the node . command is simple way to run the application in the current directory. You also can run node server.js or coffee server.coffee or even compound server. the result will be the same, we will learn the differences later.

Expressjs : Static Files

Serving static files in Express

To serve static files such as images, CSS files, and JavaScript files, use the express.static built-in middleware function in Express.
Pass the name of the directory that contains the static assets to the express.static middleware function to start serving the files directly. For example, use the following code to serve images, CSS files, and JavaScript files in a directory named public:
app.use(express.static('public'))
Now, you can load the files that are in the public directory:
http://localhost:3000/images/kitten.jpg
http://localhost:3000/css/style.css
http://localhost:3000/js/app.js
http://localhost:3000/images/bg.png
http://localhost:3000/hello.html
Express looks up the files relative to the static directory, so the name of the static directory is not part of the URL.
To use multiple static assets directories, call the express.static middleware function multiple times:
app.use(express.static('public'))
app.use(express.static('files'))
Express looks up the files in the order in which you set the static directories with the express.static middleware function.
To create a virtual path prefix (where the path does not actually exist in the file system) for files that are served by the express.static function, specify a mount path for the static directory, as shown below:
app.use('/static', express.static('public'))
Now, you can load the files that are in the public directory from the /static path prefix.
http://localhost:3000/static/images/kitten.jpg
http://localhost:3000/static/css/style.css
http://localhost:3000/static/js/app.js
http://localhost:3000/static/images/bg.png
http://localhost:3000/static/hello.html
However, the path that you provide to the express.static function is relative to the directory from where you launch your node process. If you run the express app from another directory, it’s safer to use the absolute path of the directory that you want to serve:
app.use('/static', express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')))
