📱NodeJs:
Node.js is an open source, cross-platform runtime environment for developing server-side and networking applications. Node.js applications are written in JavaScript, and can be run within the Node.js runtime on OS X, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and with Icode-NodeJs - Android.
Following are some of the important features that make Node.js the first choice of software architects.
★ Asynchronous and Event Driven:
All APIs of Node.js library are asynchronous, that is, non-blocking. It essentially means a Node.js based server never waits for an API to return data. The server moves to the next API after calling it and a notification mechanism of Events of Node.js helps the server to get a response from the previous API call.
★ Very Fast:
Being built on Google Chrome's V8 JavaScript Engine, Node.js library is very fast in code execution.
★ Single Threaded but Highly Scalable:
Node.js uses a single threaded model with event looping. Event mechanism helps the server to respond in a non-blocking way and makes the server highly scalable as opposed to traditional servers which create limited threads to handle requests. Node.js uses a single threaded program and the same program can provide service to a much larger number of requests than traditional servers like Apache HTTP Server.
★ No Buffering:
Node.js applications never buffer any data. These applications simply output the data in chunks
💾 NPM Package Manager:
The name npm (Node Package Manager) stems from when npm first was created as a package manager for Node.js.
★ npm is the world's largest Software Registry:
The registry contains over 800,000 code packages.
★ npm is free to use:
You can download all npm public software packages without any registration or logon.
★ npm can manage dependencies:
npm can (in one command line) install all the dependencies of a project.
👍 Icode-Go's integration of NodeJs and NPM make using these tools simple and straightforward, allowing more time to focus on developing.
• NPM can be used through dialogs to make package installation easy.
• NodeJs projects keep everything clean and easy to manage. Run a project with a tap of a finger.
• If you are a traditional noder, we have a command line terminal that works very similar to a SSH client - just in our own little development environment. npm and node are both available from this command line.
• STDIN and STDERR logging.
⚠ This module is for ARM devices.
⚠ NOTICE: npm packages that have source files built on the device (c++ make) will not work on Android. Android does not have a 'build' system to handle these packages. This is not a Icode-NodeJs restriction or flaw, it is beyond our control. All pure JavaScript packages will run perfectly.
📱Device Requirements:
• Icode Go 2.07+ Editor Installed
• Approx. 100 ΜB of internal storage
• 50 MB (basic node app) available RAM (per node instance)
