Here's my solution for this task:

var http = require('http');

http.get(process.argv[2], callbackFunction);
http.get(process.argv[3], callbackFunction);
http.get(process.argv[4], callbackFunction);

function callbackFunction(response){

    var streamContent = "";

    response.setEncoding("utf8");

    response.on("data", function(data){
        streamContent += data;
    });

    response.on("end", function(){
        console.log(streamContent);

    });

}

The problem is that this is identical to the previous task except it has these two lines added:

http.get(process.argv[3], callbackFunction);
http.get(process.argv[4], callbackFunction);

(and removed the printing of number of characters obviously)

Is this sort of defeating the purpose of the exercise or was it supposed to be that simple?

Anyone know why I'm getting a Socket Hang Up error? Or what it means?
"Error connection to http://localhost:8000: socket hang up"

var http = require('http');
var map = require('through2-map');

var server = http.createServer(function (req, res) {
  if (req.method != 'POST')
    return res.end('send me a post');

  req.pipe(map(function (chunk) { 
    return chunk.toString().toUpperCase();
  })).pipe(res);

});

server.listen(8000);

Keep receiving this error when either running or verifying my answer for the "Basics: BATCH" lesson in "levelmeup" course.
Have tried reinstalling "levelmeup" but it has made no difference...

For the "My First Async I/O" lesson it tells you to look in C:\Users\bbateman\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\learnyounode/node_apidoc.html, which doesn't exist.

I think the correct path would

Here is my code for the 'HTTP COLLECT' workshop.

var http = require('http');
var dataString = "";
http.get(process.argv[2], function(resp) {
    resp.setEncoding('utf8');
    resp.on('data', function(input){
        dataString = dataString.concat(input);
    });
}).on('error', console.error);
console.log(dataString); 

For some reason, the dataString variable doesn't store the http response text. What am I doing wrong? I also tried with array push, and that didn't work either.

Greetings!

Here's my code for the HTTP Uppercaser lesson:

// Required Objects
var http = require('http');

http.createServer(function(request, response) {
    request.setEncoding('utf8');

    if (request.method === 'POST') {
        request.on('data', function(chunk) {
            response.write(chunk.toUpperCase());
        });
    }

}).listen(8000);

I know I ignored the through2-map package suggestion, but I'm trying to wrap my mind around the ins and outs of the the node.js platform as it is — servers, streams, etc..

In any case, when I run or verify the project, the contents come through in upper case, but then it simply hangs until I ctrl+C out of it. Is the learnyounode environment supposed to kill the server, or should I be doing that somehow? I'm just not sure how to figure that all the TCP connections have been made, and it can quit now. :-/

I'm using the following code for the HTTP Server challenge of stream-adventure but the test is still failing.

var http = require('http');
var through = require('through');

var server = http.createServer(function (req, res) {
    if (req.method === 'POST') {
        req.pipe(through(function (buf) {
            this.queue(buf.toString().toUpperCase());
        })).pipe(res);
    }
    else res.end('send me a POST\n');
});
server.listen(8000);

I'm getting this response and I'm left with a node process that I have to kill manually:

➜  stream-adventure  stream-adventure verify 07-http-server.js
ACTUAL                             EXPECTED

Error: connect ECONNREFUSED
    at errnoException (net.js:901:11)
    at Object.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:892:19)

If I kill any running node processes and then run the script manually with node 07-http-server.js, I am able to post to the server with curl and get a correct response but only once, any further attempts to post to the server just hang until they timeout and I have to kill the process again.

I believe the code I'm using is the same as the official solution. Is there a bug somewhere?

I'm running node v0.10.9 and the stream-adventure package was installed yesterday.

Here is my code:

var result = 0;

for (var i = 2; i < process.argv.length; i++) {
    result = result + Number(process.argv[i]);
}

console.log(result);

This works fine with "node add.js". But if I use "learnyounode verify add.js 12 34", I get some weird errors. Is there a bug in the BABY STEPS challenge?

-bash: learnyounode: command not found

I wrote this code for the JUGGLING ASYNC workshop :

var url1 = process.argv[2],
    url2 = process.argv[3],
    url3 = process.argv[4];

var http = require('http');

var count = 1;

function fetch(url)
{
    http.get(url, function(response) {
        response.setEncoding('utf8');

        var allData = '';
        response.on('data', function(data) {
            allData += data;
        })

        response.on('end', function() {
            // console.log(allData.length);
            console.log(allData);
            if(count < 3) {
                count = count + 1;
                url = 'url' + count
                fetch(url);
            }
        })

        response.on('error', console.error);

    })
}

fetch(url1);

However when I run this code it prints the data from first url but then it gives the following error:

events.js:72
        throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
              ^

Why am I getting that error? how do I get rid of it?

Hi, the learning stuff is just for linux?

Stuck at Make It Modular, and I can't figure out the error.

Here's my module file:

module.exports = directoryReader;


function directoryReader(dir, filter, callback) {

    var fs = require('fs');

    fs.readdir(dir, function (err, list) {
    if (err) 
        return callback(err);

        for (var i = 0, filename; filename = list[i++];) {
            if (filename.indexOf('.' + filter) == filename.length - filter.length - 1 && filename !== filter) {
                console.log(filename);
            }
        }
    });

};

(The check if extension is there if statement is a bit verbose, but I came up with it and so sticking to it).

Verifying this gives me the correct answers:

Do you guys have recommendations for naming these modules so that they are easily discoverable and follow a pre-defined structure?

here is myprogram.js:

var mymodule = require('./mymodule.js');
mymodule(process.argv[2],process.argv[3],function(err){
    console.log(err);
});

here is mymodule.js:

var fs = require('fs');
module.exports = function(dirname, filter, fn) {
    var reg = new RegExp("\\." + filter + "$");
    fs.readdir(dirname, function(err, list) {
        if (err)
            return fn(err);
        for (var i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
            if (reg.test(list[i])) {
                console.log(list[i]);
            }
        }
    });
}

and here is the verify result:

I did not understand that why it always tell me "did not call the callback argument".
Is it my fault?

From async I/O

so you can check if an error occurred by checking whether the first
argument truthy. If there is no error, you should have your `Buffer`

Should be "... the first argument is truthy."

I tried doing 'learnyounode' from inside the webstorm7 terminal window, and after getting 'hello world' verified the menu got painted without any further actions possible. The flow works fine from regular terminal though.

Hi all.

I can see a good portion of the http GET's coming back fine, and then I get...

When I finish learn you node "http client" challenge, it show a official solution like this:

    request.on('data', console.log)
    request.on('error', console.error)
  })

I think function(requst) should be function(response) ?

I'd like to encourage people to run "nodeschool meetups." Basically just a room where people work through one of these and have someone around who's passed all the levels to help them.

I was thinking that it might be cool to add something to the end of all the games, after all the levels are passed, that says "Congradulations, Are you interested in teaching others?" and link them to a document that helps them organize a nodeschool meetup.

Thoughts?

Here's my code:

var level = require('level');
var path = process.argv[2];
var db = level(path);

var checkValue = function(error, value, index) {
    if (!error.notFound) {
        console.log(index + '=' + value);
    }
};

for (index=0;index<100;index++) {
    db.get(index.toString(), checkValue(index));
}

Whenever I try to levelmeup run this, I get the following error:

I installed the level package globally and the last lesson that uses it ran fine. Maybe I'm just doing something in my code that's causing this?

I will admit I'm not confident I'm doing the proper syntax for passing an additional parameter to the checkValue function. I know it receives error and value, but I need to pass the index, too, so I know the key. :-/

Thanks!

i have tried everything but i am failed. i have tried clustering, socket.io-clusterhub, socket.io redis store, with http-proxy and nginx. but i am failed. please guide me. i want to achieve 1m users concurrency how is that possible?

I've looked at my module and the solution module and I can't see a functional difference in the two modules. My code is pasted below.

function filterFiles(dir, ext, callback) {
    var fs = require('fs');

    fs.readdir(dir, function (err, files) {
        var fileList = [];

        if (err)
            return callback(err);

        files.forEach(function (file) {
            var fext = file.slice(-1 * ext.length);
            if (fext === ext) {
                fileList.push(file);
            }
        });
        callback(null, fileList);
    });
}

module.exports = filterFiles;

I've just added a new feature to workshopper that points people to the help file if one is supplied by the workshop, after you select an exercise:

 » For help with this problem or with learnyounode, run:
   `learnyounode help`.

The text is a combination of the workshopper usage.txt and the file supplied by the workshop application. The one for learnyounode is here, please let me know if you think the text could be improved--PR's greatly appreciated.

The full text looks like this:

Usage

  learnyounode
    Show a menu to interactively select a workshop.
  learnyounode list
    Show a newline-separated list of all the workshops.
  learnyounode select NAME
    Select a workshop.
  learnyounode current
    Show the currently selected workshop.
  learnyounode run program.js
    Run your program against the selected input.
  learnyounode verify program.js

  The official repository for learnyounode is:

  Feel free to file a bug report or (preferably) a pull request.

So here's my code:

var http = require('http');
var url = require('url');

var time, query, isoTime, chunk;

var server = http.createServer(function(request, response) {
    if (request.method === 'GET') {
        response.writeHead(200,{'Content-Type':'application/json'});
        query = url.parse(request.url, true);

        switch(query.pathname) {
        case '/api/parsetime':
            time = new Date(query.query.iso);
            isoTime = {
                'hour': time.getHours(),
                'minute': time.getMinutes(),
                'second': time.getSeconds()
            };
            response.end(JSON.stringify(isoTime));
            break;

        case '/api/unixtime':
            time = new Date(query.query.iso);
            chunk = {"unixtime": time.getTime()};
            response.end(JSON.stringify(chunk));
        }
    }

    request.on('end', function() {
        response.end();
        server.close();
    });
});

server.listen(8000);

My issue is that when I connect (either on my own or use learnyounode run), I can perform only one GET, and the second one fails due to disconnect. Also, I'm aware that the server isn't closing.

I know that it's because I'm using response.end(), but I don't know how else to get the client to recognize the message has been sent. When I just did response.write, it wouldn't work. I know this is because in HTTP 1.0 protocol, the disconnection is what informs the client that it's finished sending.

Can someone please help me in understanding the proper way to do this?

Thanks!

nodeschool starts you off using the http module for tasks, then switches you to net for Time Server. They both have createServer() functions but the differences between the two isn't very clear. Why are we switching to net for Time Server? This isn't a very easy thing to Google for and being new to node and a lot of these concepts, the documentation doesn't help much either.

Where it says:

The 'request' object/Stream that you get from the 'http.get()'

I'm pretty new to this, but from what I can tell, you're getting a response in this exercise from http.get(), not a request.

From the docs: http://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_event_request
function (request, response) { }

Our callback function is taking the place of the response, not the request. The request is the URL we send as an argument.

I could be totally wrong, the wording just seemed a little confusing to me.

// babySteps.js
console.log(process.argv[2])

$ learnyounode run babySteps.js test

returns:

44 (and different numbers each time I run it).

Because the lesson said "Also be aware that all elements of process.argv are strings" , I would expect it to return:

test

Running my version seemed to be producing valid results when using 'stream-adventure run'. When switching to 'stream-adventure verify' it reports an incorrect result, but all the expected result lines are null.

To check, I copied stream-adventure/problems/html_stream/solution.js, tried verify again, and had the same result.

I'm running Win7, node 0.10.18

When I try to verify my HTTP server, I get the following error and http_server.js is still running after the verify command exits.

$ stream-adventure verify http_server.js 
ACTUAL                             EXPECTED
------                             --------

stream.js:94
      throw er; // Unhandled stream error in pipe.
            ^
Error: connect ECONNREFUSED
    at errnoException (net.js:901:11)
    at Object.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:892:19)

When I run the server using node http_server.js and connect to it with curl I get the expected results.

$ curl -d "test data" http://127.0.0.1:8000
TEST DATA

Any thoughts?

$ learnyounode verify myFirstIO.js anyFakeFileNameHere

passes no matter what nonexistent file I pass as the file path.

On lesson 6 is there a reason why the anonymous function passed to fs.readdir returns the results of the callback? Is that just to avoid needing to write brackets and an else?

Also naming the second parameter of the module 'filter' is pretty confusing for beginners who may not realize that the function 'filter' used later is a built in method of the Array object and has nothing to do with that parameter being passed.

when i go to type in learnyounode.

I get this:

C:\Users####\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\learnyounode\node_modules\workshopper\node_modules\terminal-menu\index.js:59
process.stdin.setRawMode(true);

TypeError: Object # has no method 'setRawMode'

I am also using cygwin for this.

Has anyone seen this before?

Howdy.

After running the install: sudo npm install -g learnyounode

I ran: learnyounode

and got this EACCESS error:

`Error: EACCES, permission denied '/Users/myusername/.config/learnyounode'

I am running OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.5

Anyone else seen this issue? I am relatively new to command line, so there may be an obvious solution...

My solution is

var fs = require('fs');
var path = process.argv[2];

fs.readFile(path, 'utf8', function(err,data) {
  var lines = data.split('\n');
  console.log(lines.length-1);
});

However, the verify reports that actual is merely "".
When I run it though, I do see numeric output. Using 0.2.13.
Am I making a dumb mistake?

That was fun thanks guys!

Greetings! Sorry I'm making so many issues. I'm clearly going through the course. :)

So here's my code:

// Required Objects
var http = require('http');
var fs = require('fs');

// Argument Variables
var filePath = process.argv[2];

// Local Variables
var stream = fs.createReadStream(filePath, {encoding: 'utf8'});

http.createServer(function(req, res) {
    stream.pipe(res);    

}).listen(8000);

Here's learnyounode run:

Running "HTTP FILE SERVER"...
 
Shazza got us some butcher my as stands out like thingo. Mad as a sheila how gutful of joey. As busy as a dropkick to shazza got us some struth.

Here's learnyounode verify:

Verifying "HTTP FILE SERVER"...
 
ACTUAL:   "Error connecting to http://localhost:8000: connect ECONNREFUSED"

# FAIL

Any idea why it has no problem when I run it, but claims it can't connect when I go to verify?

Thanks!

My first one will be how to create & publish an npm module. As well as the best practices around doing so (it will assume you have node installed):

• Create your npm user
• Create the repo
• Use npm to create the package.json
• Use npm to install deps --save and --save-dev
• Add a license
• Add a .travis.yml file.
• Add a README
  • Add a Travis Badge to your file
  • Add a node.io badge
• Bind Travis to Github
• Publish the package.

Any other recommendations? Too much? Not enough?
