Introduction

It would be great if ...

When you use Node.js for server side code, it is really great to use the same language than client side for many reasons. But, when you create client side code, it would be even greater if you could organize your code the same way you do for server side. And, in some cases, be able to use the same code, server and client side (at least part of it).

CommonJS is from Mars, AMD is from Venus

Node provides an awesome way to create modular projects. This modularity, among other things, is a reason of the success of node.js. It uses the CommonJS convention, and is implementation is described in the module documentation.

But the CommonJS convention is a synchronous paradigm: all the dependencies must be instantly accessible. There is no mechanism to asynchronously load a dependency like Asynchronous Module Definition do. That is usualy what we need in rich client applications where source code size may be huge: to load only want we need and differ the loading of other parts of the application according to user needs.

nway magic trick

Nway transforms for you synchronous Node CommonJS modules into optimized client side AMD-like modules.

By detecting dependencies between your modules, and by adding an asynchronous code splitting concept, nway understands your application workflow and packs generated AMD-like modules in many cachable optimized files. This part of nway is inspired from Google Web Toolkit Code Splitting mechanism.

What nway does

Consider the following module graph. Each dot represents a CommonJS module eventually requiring some other modules. The entry point can be any module identified as a main module (usually the index.js of a package).

All your client side modules are standard Node.js modules, like any other module. They can require any server side module, packaged modules (such underscore or async) as well as Node.JS core modules (with some limitations).

The only difference is the use of an asynchronous require method (provided by nway). This asynchronous require arequire() is used to identify splitting points in your application workfow.

---

Now, using nway, the following bundles will be identified, packed and optimized.

When a spliting point is reached, nway loads asynchronously the bundle that contains the required module (if not allready loaded) before returning the required module object.

---

The module & require point of view of the application workflow will be as follows (every behavior is configurable):

• The client loads an un-cachable bootstrap (bootstrap.nocache.js) that contains both the the basic loading system and the dependency map.
• The bootstrap automaticaly loads the main (generated) bundle E4FA2896C.js: this is the one that contains the entry point module.
• The entry point is started and, as the user goes deeper and deeper in the application, the spitting points are reached thus triggering the loading of the required bundles (C then D or B).
• The loaded bundle is a javascript file identified by a hash name (e.g. 5FA13642E.js) based on its content and the configuration used by nway to compile it: Using nway's middleware or any other static server mechanism, the bundle's files are served with cache ad-vitam HTTP headers.

nway just use nodejs modules mechanism

As the main usage of nway is to transform any nodejs module into browser compatible modules, not any transformation of your code is required to make it work with nway.

Unless you need to explicitly split your application in asynchronously loaded bundles, nway only rely on standard module concept: module.exports object and require() mechanism:

• "In Node, files and modules are in one-to-one correspondence" (nodejs module documentation)
• module.exports is a object always defined in a module. By default module.exports is an empty object {}. The value assigned to the module.exports object is what a module expose to those who requiring this module. module.exports support any kind of javascript value: object, string, number, function, date, boolean, array, etc.
• require() is a module scoped function used to import other modules. The value returned by require('./foo.js') is the value assigned to module.exports by the ./foo.js module.
• A required module is only executed once. The exported value is cached for later require() calls done in any other modules.
• The path passed to the require() function may be:
  • A relative or absolute path to a file (with, or without .js extension): require('./foo') where foo.js is a file in the same folder.
  • A relative or absolute path to a folder with a index.js file inside: require('./bar') where bar is a folder with a index.js file inside.
  • A node package installed with npm localy or globaly: require('underscore') where underscore is node package resolvable by the nodejs require.resolver().

Give us an exemple !

Let's first write some standard server-side node module.

The first exemple uses demo/01_simple:

demo/01_simple (where the commands, below, are executed)
 ├╴■ public
 | ├╴■ generated
 | └╴▫ index.html
 ├╴▫ simple.demo.js
 └╴■ src
   ├╴▫ bar.js
   ├╴▫ foo.js
   └╴▫ index.js

src/index.js: This is the entry point of our application

console.log('index.js: I require foo.js');
var foo = require('./foo');

console.log('index.js: I call run() on foo');
foo.run();

src/foo.js:

console.log('foo.js: I require bar.js');
var bar = require('./bar');

console.log('foo.js: I add a function run() too my export object');
exports.run = function() {
  console.log('foo.js: In my run(). Now I call bar.');
  bar('Foo');
}

src/bar.js:

console.log('bar.js: I export a function');

module.exports = function(who) {
  console.log('bar.js: I say hello to', who);
}

public/index.html: This file only import the nway generated bootstrap:

...
<script src="./generated/bootstrap.nocache.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" sync="true"></script>
...

This demo do really usefull things:

You can run node src/index.js to see what happen when execute server side with node

• index.js require foo.js
• foo.js require bar.js
• bar.js export a Function
• foo.js add a function run to the exports object
• index.js call run() on foo.js
• foo.js call the function exported by bar in is run() function
• bar.js execute the executed function called by foo

nway it !

Now, using the nway command line, we generate the client version of this usefull application. The path given to nway is the main module (the entry point) of the application:

nway src/index.js

nway shows both the configuration used to generate client sources and the resolved dependency tree.

By default nway will output the client generated files in the public/generated folder (you can change this by using the -o --output option).

In the public/generated there are now two files:

public/generated
 ├╴▫ bootstrap.nocache.js
 └╴▫ F9C09E355E2151A2.js

The bootstrap.nocache.js is included by public/index.html: This tiny file contains a script loader that knows which file contains the required application modules. The bootstrap is very small, and changes as the application changes: that is why the client browser must never keep it in cache.

The F9C09E355E2151A2.js file contains all the application modules': The name may be different: the first 8 chars F9C09E35 change depending on nway's options and version number, the last 8 chars 5E2151A2 change with the modules contents: that is why the client browser can keep it in cache for life.

See nway middleware and cache optimisation for more information about this

Now, open public/index.html in a browser. Open the javascript console. You should see the following output:

index.js: I require foo.js
foo.js: I require bar.js
bar.js: I export a function
foo.js: I add a function run() to my export object
index.js: I call run() on foo
foo.js: In my run(). Now I call bar.
bar.js: I say hello to Foo

That is the same result of the server side execution using only node: node src/index.js.

The demo/01_simple/simple.demo.js file do, with the nway API, exactly what we do with nway command line.

What happens when the index.html file is executed?

1. The bootstrap.nocache.js file is loaded, it contains the AMD mechanism (require, define, script loader, ...) and the application map (index of bundle files and the modules they contain).
2. When the DOM is ready, the bootstrap resolve wich file contains the main module — index.js, the entry point — (F9C09E355E2151A2.js) and loads it.
3. The F9C09E355E2151A2.js file register the modules it contains (among which the main module).
4. The main module is executed by the bootstrap with the appropriate scoped variables (require(), module.exports, etc.)
5. The main module requires foo.js, foo.js is executed with some dedicated scoped require, and so on.

arequire: the asynchronous require()

Devide and conquer... speed

As we said before, nway does not force you to use nway-specific code to work: everything works just like it would in node. But, from the browser-side point of view, as your rich internet application become huge you don't want to load all the application at once. You just want to load progressively the parts of the application that the user needs. Also, if you update only a small part of your application, you don't want to loose all the benefits of the client browser cache (See nway middleware and cache optimisation)...

That is why, nway provides an application splitter: arequire().

arequire() is totally compatible with node. It is just a node module that provides the same behavior than node's require() except that the result (the exported value) is returned asynchronously to a callback function:

// The require() way:
var foo = require('foo');
console.log(foo);

// The arequire() way:
arequire('foo', function(err, foo) {
  console.log(foo)
});

The goal of arequire() is not to remplace require()! You can just use it when you want nway to split your application.

How to import arequire()

arequire() is very special: it needs the require() function of your module to work. So nway provides an arequire generator:

// Get an arequire method for the current module:
var arequire = require('nway/arequire')(require);

It is a good habit to import arequire() at the begining of your module. Of course, the variable name does not necessarily have to be arequire.

The only restriction is: do not use another variable with the same name in your module. It may work, but it could confuse nway's parser. In fact, essentialy due to performance reasons, nway's parser will not try to detect variable's scopes. Anyway you don't want to do this because is not neat!

Exemple using arequire(): demo/02_arequire

demo/02_arequire  (where the commands, below, are executed)
 ├╴▫ arequire.demo.js
 ├╴■ public
 | ├╴■ generated
 | ├╴▫ index.html
 | └╴▫ style.css
 └╴■ src
   ├╴▫ bar.js
   ├╴▫ foo.js
   └╴▫ index.js

src/index.js: This is the entry point of our application

console.log('index.js: I get a arequire() function for my module');

// This is where arequire is imported.
//
// It is a good habit to import arequire() on top of your module.
// The variable name does not have to be 'arequire', but it can prevent
// confusions to use this name.
//
// Caution: for parsing efficiency reason, do not use another variable with the same name
var arequire = require('nway/arequire')(require);

console.log('index.js: For demo purposes, I export my application object');

var application = module.exports = {

  goFoo: function(callback) {
    console.log('index.js: goFoo(). Asynchronously require foo.js. This is an application split point.');
    arequire('./foo.js', function(err, foo) {
      console.log('index.js: foo.js is imported. Execute its exported function foo().');
      foo();
      callback && callback();
    })
  }


  ,goBar: function(callback) {
    console.log('index.js: goBar(). Asynchronously require bar.js. This is an application split point.');
    arequire('./bar.js', function(err, bar) {
      console.log('index.js: bar.js is imported. Execute its exported function bar().');
      bar();
      callback && callback();
    })
  }
}


console.log('index.js: Go into the FOO part of the application:');
application.goFoo(function() {

  console.log('index.js: Now go into the BAR part of the application:');
  application.goBar();

});

src/foo.js:

// foo.js

console.log("foo.js: I am a huge part of the application and I export a function");

module.exports = function() {
  console.log("foo.js: I am executed");
}

src/bar.js looks like foo.js

You can run node src/index.js to see what happens when execute in server-side mode with node

• index.js creates an arequire() for is module and then creates an application with some methods that asynchronously require other modules
• index.js loads the FOO part of the application.
• Once the FOO part is loaded, index.js loads the BAR part of the application

Run nway to generate the client version Note: We do not specify index.js, this is redundant in node since src is a folder with an index.js inside!

nway src

Open public/index.html in your browser (open public/index.html), the output in your javascript console is the same of the pure nodejs execution of our application: node src:

index.js: I get a arequire() function for my module
index.js: For demo purpose, I export my application object
index.js: Go in the FOO part of the application:
index.js: goFoo(). Asynchronously require foo.js. This is an application split point.
foo.js: I am a huge part of the application and I export a function
index.js: foo.js is imported. Execute it exported function foo().
foo.js: I am executed
index.js: Now go in the BAR part of the application:
index.js: goBar(). Asynchronously require bar.js. This is an application split point.
bar.js: I am a huge part of the application and I export a function
index.js: bar.js is imported. Execute it exported function bar().
bar.js: I am executed

Great but what is the difference ?

If you look at the public/generated folder, there are 4 files:

public/generated
 ├╴▫ B70FBF6B67B040FD.js (bar.js)
 ├╴▫ B70FBF6B94EE0B24.js (foo.js)
 ├╴▫ B70FBF6BD1CB26E3.js (index.js and nway arequire generator)
 └╴▫ bootstrap.nocache.js

This is the nway splitting effect!

• One bundle contains the main module index.js but there is nothing else inside (except a very small nway module: the arequire function generator).
• The two other bundles contains foo.js and bar.js and are loaded only when the application needs them.

Asynchronously require many modules ?

Solution 1: pack your multi-dependency into a module

foo.js needs a.js and b.js to be asynchronously loaded before it can execute a function (the AMD way would be require(['a','b'], function (a, b) {}))

Create a bundle_ab.js that exports a.js and b.js:

module.exports = { a: require('./a'), b: require('./b')};

Now in foo.js you can do:

arequire('./bundle_ab', function(error, results) {
  // Now you have results.a and results.b ...
})

Solution 2: just do it async !

Many javascript libraries such as async.js or queue.js simplify this asynchronous pattern: You control exactly what you do and you can re-use the usefull patterns of this library in your application without the need to reload it.

foo.js with async:

var async = require('async'), arequire = require('nway/arequire')(require);

async.parallel([
   function(done) { arequire('./a.js', done)}
  ,function(done) { arequire('./b.js', done)}
]
, function(results) {
    // Now you have results.a and results.b ...
})

Module substitution

Some times you need to substitute a server-only module by a browser-compatible module.

There are many reasons to prevent yourself from doing this: even for testing where using headless browser is a much better solution to test browser-only modules.

In some cases you have no choice: for example, if you are using an external package that require a server-side-only module that is easy to override for browser side.

See module substitution sample in substitute.demo.js

Cache optimisation and nway middleware()

nway's cache optimisation is based on:

• nway middleware. It applies http cache optimisation on nway-generated content.
• Generated bundle-file naming. A hash-name is used based on: nway version, compilation options and bundle content.
• A very tiny bootstrap script, never cached, that drives bundle loading

Exemple: consider the following public/generated folder:

public/generated
 ├╴▫ bootstrap.nocache.js
 ├╴▫ CDC551BB0420A359.js
 ├╴▫ CDC551BB18A726CD.js
 ├╴▫ CDC551BB1A74CB97.js
 ├╴▫ CDC551BB29E43756.js
 ├╴▫ CDC551BB5FCDA7AD.js
 └╴▫ CDC551BB822417A8.js

bootstrap.nocache.js is the only file explicitly included in you web page: This file contains a script loader that knows which file contains the required application modules. The bootstrap is very small, and change as the application changes: that is why the client browser must never keep it in cache.

** Files like CDC551BB0420A359.js contains the application modules**: The first 8 chars CDC551BB change depending on nway's options and version number: that is why many files begin with this string. The last 8 chars 0420A359 change with the modules contents.

To summarize:

• The bootstrap must never be cached (or, at least, it can be a http 304 response).
• The bundles are naturally cachable for life.

The nway middleware does exactly that: it explicitly forces the http header obtain this effect (caching all generated bundles by the bootstrap). But you could do the same with any http server.

Exemple with a small connect.js driven http server:

 var connect = require('connect')
   , http    = require('http')
   , nway  = require('nway')
 ;

 // The options consumed by nway.middleware()
 // must be the same than the ones used for compilation
 // (at least the 'bootstrap', 'client' and 'extension' keys)
 var options = {client:'/generated', bootstrap: 'bootstrap.nocache.js', extension: '.js'};

 var app = connect()
    .use(nway.middleware(options))
    .use(connect.static('public')) // Path to public files
    .listen(3000);

 http.createServer(app).listen(3000);

Your app is now served on http://localhost:3000/

Limitations

Dynamic require & arequire module argument is not yet allowed (may be one day... or may be not):

// You can't yet do this kind of things:
var foobar = 'foobar';
require(foobar);

// Or this:
var x = 'foo';
require('module_' + x);

// Or this:
['a','b'].forEach(function(m) { require(m) });

// Or this:
async.map(['a','b'], arequire, function(err, results) {});

Variable re-affecting for require or arequire:

// You can't do this:
var arequire = require('nway/arequire')(require);
var split    = arequire;
split('./a.js', function() {}) // Ok in nodejs but this won't work on browser side !

// Nor this:
var r = require;
r('path'); // Ok in nodejs but this won't work on browser side !

Using server-only package:

• nway can use alternative to node builtin packages (event, path, etc.). However some packages, such as node fs, can only be executed on server side (nway is compatible with browserify packages).
• All packages that uses C++ compiled modules... can't be compiled by nway to be run in the browser.

Anyway, when you experience this kind of needs, consider reviewing in your application design. If after that your needs persist, consider using options.substitute to provide a browser-alternative module.

ZSH Completion

To enable zsh completion add this in any zsh configuration file: compdef _gnu_generic nway

Play with command line & demo

Go in the demo folder:

cd demo

Execute nway without options, just choose the application main module as entry point:

nway src/index.js

Now in the public/generated folder contain the files generated by nway:

public/generated
 ├╴▫ 15986D7A18A726CD.js
 ├╴▫ 15986D7A214696ED.js
 ├╴▫ 15986D7A822417A8.js
 ├╴▫ 15986D7A8ECD6654.js
 ├╴▫ 15986D7AF2AEA598.js
 ├╴▫ 15986D7AF395D729.js
 └╴▫ bootstrap.nocache.js

Every time you change a file content, or any nway options, the generated file names change.

Then open the demo in a navigator:

open public/index.html

Now, you can play with the demo application:

• Click on buttons to start a part of the application
• In the debug output (or your browser console) you can see the bundles loaded by nway.

You can do more things by using your browser javascript console (developper tool):

• Get the entry point: var ep = require('/')
• Then play with your entry point object: ep.voronoi(), ep.load('underscore', function(_) {alert(_)}), ...

Debug information

nway uses debug to output some debug information.

To show debug information, add DEBUG='nway*' before any command or script that uses nway:

DEBUG=nway* nway src/index.js -f

(-f is used to force nway to re-generate all files)

Play with some command line options

-u, --uglify & co

With the option uglify, the generated sources are optimized and minimized with UglifyJS:

nway src/index.js -u

If you look at the generated sources in public/generated, you can see that all the sources are deeply optimized.

Generating sources using uglify takes much much longer (at least the first time). Consider using this optimization for production compilation only.

Some other options can alter uglify behaviours:

• -m, --nomangle: Keep original variable and function names
• -s, --nosqueeze: Disable deep source optimizations process
• -y, --beautify: Add indentation and line return to make generated source human readable.

-p, --prepend [string]

Prepends all generated files with the given string (such a copyright notice):

nway src/index.js -p '// Copyright Foobar'

--onepack

Forces nway to bundle all the generated bundles in one single bundle. When you use the --onepack options, nway do not write anything to the disk, instead it writes the compilation result to the standard output.

This is usefull when you do not want a bootstrap file and you do not care of application splitting (to dump the script in a standalone html file for instance).

nway src/index.js --onepack > mypack.js
