Nodejs and npm installation on linux and Windows



Nodejs is the JavaScript runtime build on  Chrome's open source v8 Java Script engine. The question is that why we should use Nodejs? Of course without knowing the reason of using the Node.js why anyone use, so the answer is very simple Node.js is the event based ecosystem, none blocking Input/Output that makes it lightweight and fast. Node.js ecosystem that is NPM is the world largest collection of open source.

What is the npm? Answer of this question it is the package manager for java script.

Below is the steps to install the Nodejs and npm installation on Linux Ubntu 16.4.

Step 1. Installing the NodeSource Nodejs v7.x repo


pawan@pawan:~/Desktop$ curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_7.x | sudo -E bash -

 
pawan@pawan:~/Desktop$ sudo apt-get install nodejs

Step 3. Check the installed version of Node.js


pawan@pawan:~/Desktop$ nodejs -v
v7.6.0

Step 4.Check installed version of npm


pawan@pawan:~/Desktop$ npm -v
4.1.2

 

Step 5. Create the Node.js HTTP server to test the installation


Using Node.js we can create the web server that can serve the request when you open it in your browser. You can check out the official Node.js website to check more on this for creating the web server, but in sort, we can create a file with the name of servertest.js as given below.
 var http = required('http');  
 http.createServer(function (req, res) {  
  res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});  
  res.end('Hello Node.js!!n');  
 }).listen(5001, "127.0.0.1");  
 console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:5001/');

Step 6. Run the node.js server using below command


Here in above script, I used the port 5001 but you can use any as you want. After running the script you can open your browser on http:/127.0.0.1:5001/ and you can get the Hello Response from the server.

pawan@pawan:~/Desktop$ node  servertest.js
Server running at http://127.0.0.1:5001/


test nodejs
Additionally, you can also run the node.js server in debug mode using below command.

pawan@pawan:~/Desktop$ node --debug servertest.js
Debugger listening on 127.0.0.1:5858
Server running at http://127.0.0.1:5001/

unselected package nodejs. (Reading database ... 264311 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to unpack .../nodejs_7.6.0-1nodesource1~xenial1_amd64.deb ...

install nodejs

Step 7. Installing other module using npm


To install the library and package using npm use the below command

$ npm install packagename

Kotlin Parcelable Array Objects Send To Activity

We know that IPC (Inter Process Communication) between the activity is an extremely important part of any application development. We often required that we need to send some data to other activity. For example, we may be required to send an array of data, data could be an Integer, String, Long, Double, Float or any other custom data objects. So, In this example, we are going to learn how to implement the Kotlin Parcelable Array object to send the data from one activity to second activity. What is Parcel? The parcel class is designed as a high-performance IPC transport. A Parcel can contain both flattened data that will be unflattened on the other side of the IPC, and references to live IBinde r objects that will result in the other side receiving a proxy IBinder connected with the original IBinder in the Parcel.

The EditText view is just an extension of the TextView with lots of editing option and properties that required for the user input.
