Some NodeJS Samples

A collection of node js samples

The example in this repository comes from the Ugo Lattanzi's blog, so you can find the explanation here.

Folder structure

Each example has a folder and, inside it, there is a Readme.mdfile with the link of the blog post.

nodejs-sample's Issues

maxAge is incorrect in express-configuration

In the file express-configuration/index.js the maxAge is logged as one day but in reality is set to one year.

console.log("Setting 'Public' folder with maxAge: 1 Day.");
    var publicFolder = path.dirname(module.parent.filename)  + "/public";
    var oneYear = 31557600000;
    app.use(express.static(publicFolder, { maxAge: oneYear }));

Since setting public cache to one year is the maximum recommended, I suggest changing the log to the following:

console.log("Setting 'Public' folder with maxAge: 1 Year.");
    var publicFolder = path.dirname(module.parent.filename)  + "/public";
    var oneYear = 31557600000;
    app.use(express.static(publicFolder, { maxAge: oneYear }));

The other option is to use 86400000 milliseconds such as the following:

console.log("Setting 'Public' folder with maxAge: 1 Day.");
    var publicFolder = path.dirname(module.parent.filename)  + "/public";
    var oneDay = 86400000;
    app.use(express.static(publicFolder, { maxAge: oneDay }));

Thanks!
