Developing with Node

The recipes we will be seeing in this chapter are as follows:

• Checking Node's setup
• Working with modules
• Using Flow with Node, directly
• Using Flow with Node through preprocessing
• Running your Node code with Nodemon
• Using promises instead of error first callbacks
• Working with streams to process requests
• Compressing files with streams
• Working with a database
• Executing external processes with exec()
• Using spawn() to run a command, and communicating with it
• Using fork() to run Node commands
