Learning Node.js for .NET Developers

Overview of this book

Node.js is an open source, cross-platform runtime environment that allows you to use JavaScript to develop server-side web applications. This short guide will help you develop applications using JavaScript and Node.js, leverage your existing programming skills from .NET or Java, and make the most of these other platforms through understanding the Node.js programming model. You will learn how to build web applications and APIs in Node, discover packages in the Node.js ecosystem, test and deploy your Node.js code, and more. Finally, you will discover how to integrate Node.js and .NET code.

Deploying from Travis CI


Deploying via Git is a quick way to get up and running and is useful for developers. It's not a robust way of pushing out changes though. If we are practicing Continuous Delivery then we may want to deploy on every commit, at least to a UAT environment. But we still want our CI server to act as a gatekeeper and ensure that we only deploy good builds.

Travis CI supports deployment to a wide range of hosting providers (as well as arbitrary deployment via custom scripts). We can tell Travis CI to deploy to Heroku by adding a deploy section to our travis.yml as follows (replacing application-name-12345 with the name of our previously created Heroku application):

services:
- mongodb
- redis-server
deploy:
  provider: heroku
  app: application-name-12345
  api_key:
env:
  global:
  - MONGODB_URL=mongodb://localhost/hangman
  - REDIS_URL=redis://127.0.0.1:6379/

Travis CI will only deploy our application if the build passes. In order for Travis CI to communicate with Heroku...
