Node.JS Port #1

Open robertmain opened 11 years ago

robertmain commented 11 years ago

So yeah - I currently don't have time right at this moment to organise the port(currently preparing for a talk tomorrow) but if anyone feels like helping out I could knock out some kind of basic prototype in the next few weeks assuming that this document outlines the requirements

Robert, I'm an enthusiastic amateur at PHP, there's no reason I can't be the same with Node.js :)

Please put something together in your own repo, point to it in this issue and I'll take a look and see if I can make head or tail of it! I'd certainly like to look at this, as it does seem like a better way to progress.

For right now, we are planning to use CFM2 again for OggCamp '13 but will take a proper look at our options for '14 in the weeks after OggCamp.

I'm a Node.JS amateur too! :) I just started this week - let's learn together :D o/

Is it worth looking at http://passportjs.org/ for the Authentication components? I've already suggested https://github.com/sockethub/sockethub to Jack for the Glue components?

robertmain commented 11 years ago

A friend and I use passportjs on a site were working on built with node. Its quite nice. As for sockethub is that an alternative to socket.io?

JonTheNiceGuy commented 11 years ago

SocketHub provides websocket based interfaces to Twitter, SMTP, Facebook, IRC, XMPP, even bitcoin and RDF, if you've got 'em!

Sounds interesting

NotBobTheBuilder commented 11 years ago

Following up - I'm really impressed my meteor.js, and a lot of the important stuff for us - database APIs, external auth and so on are provided by default.

The only tricky thing is that the only supported backend (for now) is mongodb, and with my experience with @NotBobTheBuilder/CandleFire it's really tricky to structure the timetable. Then again I'm still new to NoSQL so I could just be "thinking wrong" :)

robertmain commented 11 years ago

I can't wrap my head around nosql either...

Also Jon - I have a few NodeJS projects in my own repo. None of them are related to CFM, but if you find them useful feel free to have a poke at them or whatever :). They're all GPL'd
