Re: Hosting a Large Number of Node Apps on the IBM i

Maybe I am just referring to Sails which uses express.js under the
covers. In the stuff I have done, all the routes and configured in a JSON
(and do require a restart when changed):

For example:


module.exports.routes = {


/***************************************************************************
*
*
* Make the view located at `views/homepage.ejs` (or
`views/homepage.jade`, *
* etc. depending on your default view engine) your home page.
*
*
*
* (Alternatively, remove this and add an `index.html` file in your
*
* `assets` directory)
*
*
*

***************************************************************************/

//'/': {
// view: 'homepage'
//}


// Passport control
'get /homepage': 'AuthController.homepage',
'get /dashboard': 'AuthController.dashboard',
'get /logout': 'AuthController.logout',
'get /register': 'AuthController.register',

'post /auth/local': 'AuthController.callback',
'post /auth/local/:action': 'AuthController.callback',

'get /auth/:provider': 'AuthController.provider',
'get /auth/:provider/callback': 'AuthController.callback',

// Normal processing
'get /': 'PageController.validateRequest',

// Profiles
'get /profile': 'AuthController.profile',
'post /updateprofile': 'AuthController.updateProfile',
'get /reset': {view:'reset'},
'post /auth/passwordreset': 'AuthController.passwordReset',

// Bookings
'get /booking' : 'BookingController.prepareBooking',
'get /booking/:action': 'BookingController.prepareBooking',
'get /mybookings': 'BookingController.myBookings',
'get /allmybookings/:filter?': 'BookingController.allMyBookings', //
the ? in :filter? means that the filter part or the URL is optional
'get /eventbookings': 'BookingController.eventBookings',
'get /alleventbookings/:filter?': 'BookingController.allEventBookings',
'get /userbookings': 'BookingController.userBookings',
'get /alluserbookings/:filter?': 'BookingController.allUserBookings',
'post /makebooking': 'BookingController.makeBooking',
'post /makebooking/:action?': 'BookingController.makeBooking',
'get /linkedbooking/:bookingid':
'LinkedBookingController.linkedBookings',
'post /validateadditions': 'BookingController.validateAdditions',
'post /updatebooking/:action': 'BookingController.updateBooking',

// Users
'get /users': 'UserController.users',
'get /allusers/:filter?': 'UserController.allUsers', // the ? in
:filter? means that the filter part or the URL is optional
'get /usermaint/:action': 'UserController.prepareUser',
'post /updateuser/:action': 'UserController.updateUser',
'get /organisers': 'UserController.organisers',

// Events
'get /events': 'EventController.events',
'get /openevents': 'EventController.openEvents',
'get /allevents/:filter?': 'EventController.allEvents', // the ? in
:filter? means that the filter part or the URL is optional
'get /event/:action': 'EventController.prepareEvent',
'post /updateevent/:action': 'EventController.updateEvent',


/***************************************************************************
*
*
* Custom routes here...
*
*
*
* If a request to a URL doesn't match any of the custom routes above,
it *
* is matched against Sails route blueprints. See `config/blueprints.js`
*
* for configuration options and examples.
*
*
*

This is by you would probably go for a library like express.js - which
will already have this problem cracked. I can't describe how as I
have only just started using it, but I know you would have a rather
large routing config file.

IIRC, all the Express.js examples I've seen use inline JavaScript to
perform routing as opposed to a "large routing config file". For example:

var express = require('express');var app = express();

app.get('/', function(req, res){
res.send('hello world');});

app.listen(3000);


In that example, it appears that any "GET" request to the ROOT URL "/" is
routed to a JavaScript function which sends "hello world".

How would you manage 20,000+ URLs? Restart your "service" each time you
add a new route to inline code?
