Core Server services

##Importing core services

var commonServer = require('norman-common-server');

##Error Handling

##Logging

##Using the Common MongoDB Connection

###Initializing the connection This must be done once by the main server process. This is done by the Norman AppServer, you may do this manually in your service tests. 

commonServer.db.connection.initialize({ database: "norman-test" }, function (err)  {
  if (err) {
    console.error("Oops, no magic today!");
  }
});

Optional second parameter allows configuring the deployment strategy. Default strategy "single" stores all Norman collection into a single database. Production strategy "distribute" spreads the collections over multiple domain databases to reduce write contention. Database distribution may be fine-tuned with the "map" strategy.

###Getting a mongoose connection The following code snippet returns a connection to the database configured for the module "my-module" according to the deployment strategy. 

var connection = commonserver.db.connection.getMongooseConnection("my-module");

###Getting a Mongo database connection

var db1 = commonserver.db.connection.getDb("my-module");
var db2 = commonserver.db.connection.getMongooseConnection("my-other-module").db;

###Creating mongoose models We offer a simple way to define mongoose model on a specific connection :

var commonServer = require('norman-common-server'),
    mongoose = commonServer.db.mongoose;

var MySchema = mongoose.createSchema('my-module', { ... });


module.exports = mongoose.createModel('MyModel', MySchema);

##Using the Service Registry

###Declaring a service

var commonServer = require('norman-common-server);

var fooService = {...};

commonServer.registry.registerModule(fooService, 'Foo');

###Accessing a service

var commonServer = require('norman-common-server);

var fooService = commonServer.registry.getModule('Foo');

##File Upload

Configuration file

You can configure the file upload in Norman/dist/server/config.json. You can add the section fileUpload which is not there by default (default value for parameters are then applied)

The following are the options that can be passed to File Upload.

  • dest
  • limits
  • includeEmptyFields
  • inMemory
  • mimetype
  • scanAction

dest

The destination directory for the uploaded files.

"dest": "./uploads/"

limits

An object specifying the size limits of the following optional properties. This object is passed to busboy directly, and the details of properties can be found on busboy's page

  • fieldNameSize - integer - Max field name size (Default: 100 bytes)
  • fieldSize - integer - Max field value size (Default: 1MB)
  • fields - integer - Max number of non-file fields (Default: 50)
  • fileSize - integer - For multipart forms, the max file size (in bytes) (Default: 25Mo)
  • files - integer - For multipart forms, the max number of file fields (Default: 10)
  • parts - integer - For multipart forms, the max number of parts (fields + files) (Default: 10)
  • headerPairs - integer - For multipart forms, the max number of header key=>value pairs to parse Default: 2000 (same as node's http).
"limits": {
  "fieldNameSize": 100,
  "files": 2,
  "fields": 5
}

Specifying the limits can help protect your site against denial of service (DoS) attacks.

includeEmptyFields

A Boolean value to specify whether empty submitted values should be processed and applied to req.body; defaults to false;

"includeEmptyFields": true

inMemory

If this Boolean value is true, the file.buffer property holds the data in-memory that Multer would have written to disk. The dest option is still populated and the path property contains the proposed path to save the file. Defaults to false.

"inMemory": true

WARNING: Uploading very large files, or relatively small files in large numbers very quickly, can cause your application to run out of memory when inMemory is set to true.

mimetype

scan

To implement scan actions after the upload (and prior to processing of the uploaded file on the server) you will need to set the 3 following parameters (baseSourceDir, baseTargetDir and action) :

  • baseSourceDir: Fully qualified path to a directory where the uploaded file will be moved for processing the scan actions.
  • baseTargetDir: Fully qualified path to a directory where the uploaded files will be moved after the scan actions. The BUILD server will assume that the uploaded file are safe (not infected by any virus) if :
    • the shell script returns no error code (0)
    • It finds the uploaded file in the baseTargetDir.
  • action: Fully qualified path to a shell script that will be executed upon upload. Note: do not remove the parameters ${source_dir} ${target_dir} and ${files} that needs to be passed to your scan action shell script for processing : The BUILD server will set the input parameters as :
${source_dir} = baseSourceDir + ‘/’ + <a unique request GUID >
${target_dir} = baseTargetDir + ‘/’ + <a unique request GUID >
${files} = baseSourceDir + ‘/’ + <a unique request GUID > + ‘/’ + fileName1 + " " + baseSourceDir + ‘/’ + <a unique request GUID > + ‘/’ + fileName2 etc…

Note : It is the responsibility of the shell script to move the uploaded file to the target directory after correct processing (hence why the ${target_dir} is passed as an argument) For example

"fileUpload":{
    "scan": {
        "action" : "C:\\temp\\image\\scanTrue.bat ${source_dir} ${target_dir} ${files}",
        "baseSourceDir" : "C:\\temp\\image\\",
        "baseTargetDir": "C:\\temp\\image2\\",
    }
}

Full sample FileUpload section:

"fileUpload":{
        "scan": {
            "action" : "C:\\temp\\Norman\\Action\\scanTrue.bat ${source_dir} ${target_dir} ${files}",
            "baseSourceDir" : "C:\\temp\\Norman\\Source\\",
            "baseTargetDir": "C:\\temp\\Norman\\Dest\\"
        },
        "limits": {
            "fields": 4,
            "fileSize": 0.5e7,
            "files": 2,
            "parts": 5
        },
        "dest": "C:\\temp\\Norman\\Upload\\",
        "mimetype": ["image/bmp", "application/zip", "application/octet-stream", "application/pdf"]
    }
