6 Things I Am Not Happy About Node.JS. Yet It Is Great!


All frameworks have its pros and cons. So does Node.JS. Here are some.
  1. Go is better for fast servers than Node.JS
  2. Node.JS is in Javascript and not in Python or similar syntaxed languages. I love python syntax. I equally hate Javascript syntax.
  3. Every library needs to be defined at several places - package.json, in the file where it is being used, etc.
  4. Package.json has information that mostly is irrelevant. Unnecessary complexity.
  5. Node Modules is unnecessary. Could have been something like setting path.
  6. No extension is mentioned in require("module");. Confusing!
Yet it is great on most other fronts. But it is high time older frameworks reorganize to compete with newer better ones written in Go.

Difference between .exec() and .execPopulate() in Mongoose?

Here I answer what is the difference between .exec() and .execPopulate() in Mongoose? .exec() is used with a query while .execPopulate() is used with a document Syntax for .exec() is as follows: Model.query() . populate ( 'field' ) . exec () // returns promise . then ( function ( document ) { console . log ( document ); }); Syntax for .execPopulate() is as follows: fetchedDocument . populate ( 'field' ) . execPopulate () // returns promise . then ( function ( document ) { console . log ( document ); }); When working with individual document use .execPopulate(), for model query use .exec(). Both returns a promise. One can do without .exec() or .execPopulate() but then has to pass a callback in populate.

Resolve: Uncaught TypeError: firebase.database is not a function

If you are getting the error: Uncaught TypeError: firebase.database is not a function Resolve it by including firebase-database.js in your html page as follows: <!-- The core Firebase JS SDK is always required and must be listed first --> <script defer src = "https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/6.2.4/firebase-app.js" ></script> <script defer src = "https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/3.1.0/firebase-database.js" ></script> That is it. Let me know if this was helpful.
