Node JS with MySQL Powered by GlobalSolutions

Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast and scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices. It also provides a rich library of various JavaScript modules which simplifies the development of web applications to a great extent.

Node.js is a cross-platform runtime environment for developing server-side and networking applications. Node.js library is very fast in code execution and uses a single-threaded program, allowing the same program to serve a much larger number of requests than traditional servers like Apache HTTP Server. Node.js applications never buffer any data. We have also added phpMyAdmin which allows you to manage your databases easily.

MySQL and phpMyAdmin Credentials

Sample Programs

We have the following sample programs under C:\helloWorld:

• hello.js — a simple program which starts as a web server. You can run it in the following ways:
  • Launch the node.bat icon on the desktop to start Node.js.
  • This will run the application in the foreground. Verify it is running by opening a browser and pointing to http://127.0.0.1:80 — you will see an output.
• You can make the process run in the background using pm2 or Nodemon — both are already installed on the server:
  • C:\helloworld> nodemon hello.js
  • C:\helloworld> pm2 start hello.js --watch

MySQL Database Connection

We have created a sample program to check the MySQL database connection, located under C:\helloworld. Run the following command to test the connection:

• C:\helloworld> node db_connections.js
