Now, let’s start with the code development for making MongoDB connection. We would be using the Mongoose library to handle the MongoDB connection and query interactions.
This MongoDB object modelling for Node.js library provides a schema-based solution for defining the model for our application data. It also offers in-built typecasting, validation, query building and business logic hooks along with more features.
Using this library will be making the developer’s life a little bit easy during the development as it abstracts the low-level MongoDB APIs and provides many user-friendly methods to handle the interaction with the MongoDB database.
As usual, we will start downloading and adding the Mongoose module as a dependent in the package.json file with the below command.
npm install mongoose --save
Also, the MongoDB module.
npm install mongodb --save
Once the two modules are downloaded into the node_modules directory, which is where the npm utility will download all the dependent modules from the www.npmjs.com and keep them locally for the application’s use, let’s continue with the adding more scripts in the mongodb.util.js file.
Load the mongoose module with the below statement, by requiring it, just below the module.exports block.
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
Also, the MongoDB configuration needs to be loaded in this file so that we could get the mongodb connection details.
var mongodbConfig = require('../../config/mongodb/mongodb-config').mongodb;
Connection to the MongoDB can be made with the mongoose.connect()method. This method needs connection URI as a mandatory first parameter and options object as an optional second parameter. Also, it can accept a callback function as an optional parameter at the end.
mongodb.connect(uri, options, callbackFunction)
If we don’t pass the callback function while connecting, the connect method will return a promise, which we could handle in the calling function. Below will be the method for the promise return.
mongodb.connect(uri, options)
We will use the promise function so that we could add appropriate handling functions for success and failure of the promise.
As we have the MongoDB database details in the JSON configuration file, we will have prepared the connection URI as per the prescribed format to pass it to the mongoose.connect() function.
Below is the standard MongoDB connection URI format to connect to the MongoDB database.
mongodb://username:password@host:port/database?options
Let’s break this string to see what are the different components and their role in the below section.
The MongoDB connection details are in the JSON file, and we need to use that information to format the connection URI. So we will create a new function inside the mongodb.util.js of the MongoDB module for preparing the connection URI from the configuration JSON file.
function prepareConnectionString(config) { var connectionString = 'mongodb://';if (config.user) { connectionString += config.user + ':' + config.password + '@'; } connectionString += config.server + '/' + config.database; return connectionString;
}
This function receives the input of the config object which contains the connection details and returns the connection URI as the response. Inside this function, connection URI is prepared as per the standard format as described in the above section. If the user and password are available in the config object, the credential is added to the connection string otherwise omitted.
Let’s continue with updating the init function with the database connection code. Now we know the mongoose method to connect to the MongoDB database and its inputs. We already have the function to prepare the connection URI from the config object, so lets complete the init function.
Inside the init function, let’s create two variables: one for options and another one for the connection string. Also, then call the mongoose.connect() function with those inputs and handle the promise functions for both success and failure.
function init() {
var options = {
promiseLibrary: require(‘bluebird’),
useNewUrlParser: true
};var connectionString = prepareConnectionString(mongodbConfig); mongoose.connect(connectionString, options) .then(function (result) { console.log("MongoDB connection successful. DB: " + connectionString); }) .catch(function (error) { console.log(error.message); console.log("Error occurred while connecting to DB: : " + connectionString); });
}
For the options object, let’s add bluebird promise library that can be used by the mongoose module to throw the promises as required. So we need to add the bluebird module into the dependencies list with the below command.
npm install bluebird --save
To format the connection URI, we will use the new function prepareConnectionString() that we created a while back by passing the MongoDB config object we loaded at the beginning of this file.
Since we are using the mongoose.connect() without the callback function, means, using the promise version of it, we need to handle the promise. So, we pass a function to then function as input to handle the successful connection.
Also passed another function to the catch function to handle any connection failure. Inside each of those handler functions, we print the appropriate messages to the console for debugging purpose.
Even after these changes in the mongodb.util.js file, the test suites should still run without any failures.
As we have completed the whole MongoDB module with required functionality changes, let’s invoke the init function from the app.js to initialize the MongoDB connection during the application startup.
So let’s load the MongoDBUtil from the MongoDBModule in the apps.js, just below the initial load of all the app level dependent modules.
var MongoDBUtil = require(‘./modules/mongodb/mongodb.module’).MongoDBUtil;
Just below the app.use() of all other modules in the apps.js, add the below line to invoke the init function for initializing the MongoDB connection.
MongoDBUtil.init();
This statement completes the MongoDB module. Restarting the application with npm start will make the database connection while the application is starting up. Either database connection success or failure message will be displayed at the console once the server is up and running.
MongoDB Connection — Success

Not babashka. Node.js babashka!?
Ad-hoc CLJS scripting on Node.js.
Experimental. Please report issues here.
Nbb's main goal is to make it easy to get started with ad hoc CLJS scripting on Node.js.
Additional goals and features are:
Nbb requires Node.js v12 or newer.
CLJS code is evaluated through SCI, the same interpreter that powers babashka. Because SCI works with advanced compilation, the bundle size, especially when combined with other dependencies, is smaller than what you get with self-hosted CLJS. That makes startup faster. The trade-off is that execution is less performant and that only a subset of CLJS is available (e.g. no deftype, yet).
Install nbb
from NPM:
$ npm install nbb -g
Omit -g
for a local install.
Try out an expression:
$ nbb -e '(+ 1 2 3)'
6
And then install some other NPM libraries to use in the script. E.g.:
$ npm install csv-parse shelljs zx
Create a script which uses the NPM libraries:
(ns script
(:require ["csv-parse/lib/sync$default" :as csv-parse]
["fs" :as fs]
["path" :as path]
["shelljs$default" :as sh]
["term-size$default" :as term-size]
["zx$default" :as zx]
["zx$fs" :as zxfs]
[nbb.core :refer [*file*]]))
(prn (path/resolve "."))
(prn (term-size))
(println (count (str (fs/readFileSync *file*))))
(prn (sh/ls "."))
(prn (csv-parse "foo,bar"))
(prn (zxfs/existsSync *file*))
(zx/$ #js ["ls"])
Call the script:
$ nbb script.cljs
"/private/tmp/test-script"
#js {:columns 216, :rows 47}
510
#js ["node_modules" "package-lock.json" "package.json" "script.cljs"]
#js [#js ["foo" "bar"]]
true
$ ls
node_modules
package-lock.json
package.json
script.cljs
Nbb has first class support for macros: you can define them right inside your .cljs
file, like you are used to from JVM Clojure. Consider the plet
macro to make working with promises more palatable:
(defmacro plet
[bindings & body]
(let [binding-pairs (reverse (partition 2 bindings))
body (cons 'do body)]
(reduce (fn [body [sym expr]]
(let [expr (list '.resolve 'js/Promise expr)]
(list '.then expr (list 'clojure.core/fn (vector sym)
body))))
body
binding-pairs)))
Using this macro we can look async code more like sync code. Consider this puppeteer example:
(-> (.launch puppeteer)
(.then (fn [browser]
(-> (.newPage browser)
(.then (fn [page]
(-> (.goto page "https://clojure.org")
(.then #(.screenshot page #js{:path "screenshot.png"}))
(.catch #(js/console.log %))
(.then #(.close browser)))))))))
Using plet
this becomes:
(plet [browser (.launch puppeteer)
page (.newPage browser)
_ (.goto page "https://clojure.org")
_ (-> (.screenshot page #js{:path "screenshot.png"})
(.catch #(js/console.log %)))]
(.close browser))
See the puppeteer example for the full code.
Since v0.0.36, nbb includes promesa which is a library to deal with promises. The above plet
macro is similar to promesa.core/let
.
$ time nbb -e '(+ 1 2 3)'
6
nbb -e '(+ 1 2 3)' 0.17s user 0.02s system 109% cpu 0.168 total
The baseline startup time for a script is about 170ms seconds on my laptop. When invoked via npx
this adds another 300ms or so, so for faster startup, either use a globally installed nbb
or use $(npm bin)/nbb script.cljs
to bypass npx
.
Nbb does not depend on any NPM dependencies. All NPM libraries loaded by a script are resolved relative to that script. When using the Reagent module, React is resolved in the same way as any other NPM library.
To load .cljs
files from local paths or dependencies, you can use the --classpath
argument. The current dir is added to the classpath automatically. So if there is a file foo/bar.cljs
relative to your current dir, then you can load it via (:require [foo.bar :as fb])
. Note that nbb
uses the same naming conventions for namespaces and directories as other Clojure tools: foo-bar
in the namespace name becomes foo_bar
in the directory name.
To load dependencies from the Clojure ecosystem, you can use the Clojure CLI or babashka to download them and produce a classpath:
$ classpath="$(clojure -A:nbb -Spath -Sdeps '{:aliases {:nbb {:replace-deps {com.github.seancorfield/honeysql {:git/tag "v2.0.0-rc5" :git/sha "01c3a55"}}}}}')"
and then feed it to the --classpath
argument:
$ nbb --classpath "$classpath" -e "(require '[honey.sql :as sql]) (sql/format {:select :foo :from :bar :where [:= :baz 2]})"
["SELECT foo FROM bar WHERE baz = ?" 2]
Currently nbb
only reads from directories, not jar files, so you are encouraged to use git libs. Support for .jar
files will be added later.
The name of the file that is currently being executed is available via nbb.core/*file*
or on the metadata of vars:
(ns foo
(:require [nbb.core :refer [*file*]]))
(prn *file*) ;; "/private/tmp/foo.cljs"
(defn f [])
(prn (:file (meta #'f))) ;; "/private/tmp/foo.cljs"
Nbb includes reagent.core
which will be lazily loaded when required. You can use this together with ink to create a TUI application:
$ npm install ink
ink-demo.cljs
:
(ns ink-demo
(:require ["ink" :refer [render Text]]
[reagent.core :as r]))
(defonce state (r/atom 0))
(doseq [n (range 1 11)]
(js/setTimeout #(swap! state inc) (* n 500)))
(defn hello []
[:> Text {:color "green"} "Hello, world! " @state])
(render (r/as-element [hello]))
Working with callbacks and promises can become tedious. Since nbb v0.0.36 the promesa.core
namespace is included with the let
and do!
macros. An example:
(ns prom
(:require [promesa.core :as p]))
(defn sleep [ms]
(js/Promise.
(fn [resolve _]
(js/setTimeout resolve ms))))
(defn do-stuff
[]
(p/do!
(println "Doing stuff which takes a while")
(sleep 1000)
1))
(p/let [a (do-stuff)
b (inc a)
c (do-stuff)
d (+ b c)]
(prn d))
$ nbb prom.cljs
Doing stuff which takes a while
Doing stuff which takes a while
3
Also see API docs.
Since nbb v0.0.75 applied-science/js-interop is available:
(ns example
(:require [applied-science.js-interop :as j]))
(def o (j/lit {:a 1 :b 2 :c {:d 1}}))
(prn (j/select-keys o [:a :b])) ;; #js {:a 1, :b 2}
(prn (j/get-in o [:c :d])) ;; 1
Most of this library is supported in nbb, except the following:
:syms
.-x
notation. In nbb, you must use keywords.See the example of what is currently supported.
See the examples directory for small examples.

Front-end web development has been overwhelmed by JavaScript highlights for quite a long time. Google, Facebook, Wikipedia, and most of all online pages use JS for customer side activities. As of late, it additionally made a shift to cross-platform mobile development as a main technology in React Native, Nativescript, Apache Cordova, and other crossover devices.
Throughout the most recent couple of years, Node.js moved to backend development as well. Designers need to utilize a similar tech stack for the whole web project without learning another language for server-side development. Node.js is a device that adjusts JS usefulness and syntax to the backend.
Node.js isn’t a language, or library, or system. It’s a runtime situation: commonly JavaScript needs a program to work, however Node.js makes appropriate settings for JS to run outside of the program. It’s based on a JavaScript V8 motor that can run in Chrome, different programs, or independently.
The extent of V8 is to change JS program situated code into machine code — so JS turns into a broadly useful language and can be perceived by servers. This is one of the advantages of utilizing Node.js in web application development: it expands the usefulness of JavaScript, permitting designers to coordinate the language with APIs, different languages, and outside libraries.
Of late, organizations have been effectively changing from their backend tech stacks to Node.js. LinkedIn picked Node.js over Ruby on Rails since it took care of expanding responsibility better and decreased the quantity of servers by multiple times. PayPal and Netflix did something comparative, just they had a goal to change their design to microservices. We should investigate the motivations to pick Node.JS for web application development and when we are planning to hire node js developers.
The principal thing that makes Node.js a go-to environment for web development is its JavaScript legacy. It’s the most well known language right now with a great many free devices and a functioning local area. Node.js, because of its association with JS, immediately rose in ubiquity — presently it has in excess of 368 million downloads and a great many free tools in the bundle module.
Alongside prevalence, Node.js additionally acquired the fundamental JS benefits:
In addition, it’s a piece of a well known MEAN tech stack (the blend of MongoDB, Express.js, Angular, and Node.js — four tools that handle all vital parts of web application development).
This is perhaps the most clear advantage of Node.js web application development. JavaScript is an unquestionable requirement for web development. Regardless of whether you construct a multi-page or single-page application, you need to know JS well. On the off chance that you are now OK with JavaScript, learning Node.js won’t be an issue. Grammar, fundamental usefulness, primary standards — every one of these things are comparable.
In the event that you have JS designers in your group, it will be simpler for them to learn JS-based Node than a totally new dialect. What’s more, the front-end and back-end codebase will be basically the same, simple to peruse, and keep up — in light of the fact that they are both JS-based.
There’s another motivation behind why Node.js got famous so rapidly. The environment suits well the idea of microservice development (spilling stone monument usefulness into handfuls or many more modest administrations).
Microservices need to speak with one another rapidly — and Node.js is probably the quickest device in information handling. Among the fundamental Node.js benefits for programming development are its non-obstructing algorithms.
Node.js measures a few demands all at once without trusting that the first will be concluded. Many microservices can send messages to one another, and they will be gotten and addressed all the while.
Node.js was worked in view of adaptability — its name really says it. The environment permits numerous hubs to run all the while and speak with one another. Here’s the reason Node.js adaptability is better than other web backend development arrangements.
Node.js has a module that is liable for load adjusting for each running CPU center. This is one of numerous Node.js module benefits: you can run various hubs all at once, and the environment will naturally adjust the responsibility.
Node.js permits even apportioning: you can part your application into various situations. You show various forms of the application to different clients, in light of their age, interests, area, language, and so on. This builds personalization and diminishes responsibility. Hub accomplishes this with kid measures — tasks that rapidly speak with one another and share a similar root.
What’s more, Node’s non-hindering solicitation handling framework adds to fast, letting applications measure a great many solicitations.
Numerous designers consider nonconcurrent to be one of the two impediments and benefits of Node.js web application development. In Node, at whatever point the capacity is executed, the code consequently sends a callback. As the quantity of capacities develops, so does the number of callbacks — and you end up in a circumstance known as the callback damnation.
In any case, Node.js offers an exit plan. You can utilize systems that will plan capacities and sort through callbacks. Systems will associate comparable capacities consequently — so you can track down an essential component via search or in an envelope. At that point, there’s no compelling reason to look through callbacks.
So, these are some of the top benefits of Nodejs in web application development. This is how Nodejs is contributing a lot to the field of web application development.
I hope now you are totally aware of the whole process of how Nodejs is really important for your web project. If you are looking to hire a node js development company in India then I would suggest that you take a little consultancy too whenever you call.
Good Luck!

When working with location services, it is important that the information you collect is accurate for your users or clients. This will prevent any mistakes in shipping, billing, and many other aspects of operations that rely on correct location information. For businesses that have applications using location services, this is especially important as any incorrect data can mean the displacement of goods or interrupted services.
The following APIs will allow you to fully validate street addresses by first parsing address data input and then verifying and normalizing the information. The last two APIs will also allow you to geocode and reverse geocode an address to receive more accurate location data for your applications.
