The final result: require() any module on npm in your browser console with browserify

This article is written to explain how the above gif works in the chrome (and other) browser consoles. A quick disclaimer: this whole thing is a huge hack, it shouldn't be used for anything seriously, and there are probably much better ways of accomplishing the same.

Update: There are much better ways of accomplishing the same, and the script has been updated to use a much simpler method pulling directly from browserify-cdn. See this thread for details: mathisonian/requirify#5

Testing Node.JS applications using Mocha

Mocha is a unittest framework for Node. In this document, we explain how you can test your javascript code and also your HTTP servers.

Installing Mocha

Use npm to install Mocha:

npm install mocha

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

In NativeScript, the http module doesn't currently support making network requests to the local file system. That work is intended to be done by the file reader. It's pretty simple to read a local file and parse its contents as JSON.

This is the TypeScript/Promise version of what Emil Oberg created for the same question on StackOverflow. This module should be reusable for any and all asyncronous local JSON read operations.

import * as fs from 'file-system';

var documents = fs.knownFolders.currentApp();

class FileReader {

	// Example:

	JavaScript.load("/javascripts/something.js");


	// With callback (that’s the good thing):

	JavaScript.load("http://www.someawesomedomain.com/api.js", function() {
	API.use(); // or whatever api.js provides ...
	});

	/*
	* How to delete items from an Array in JavaScript, an exhaustive guide
	*/

	// DON'T use the delete operator, it leaves a hole in the array:
	var arr = [4, 5, 6];
	delete arr[1]; // arr now: [4, undefined, 6]

	-- Remove the history from
	rm -rf .git

	-- recreate the repos from the current content only
	git init
	git add .
	git commit -m "Initial commit"

	-- push to the github remote repos ensuring you overwrite history
	git remote add origin [email protected]:<YOUR ACCOUNT>/<YOUR REPOS>.git

	Because I think the hardest part of getting started with AngularJS is it's esoteric names, I'm suggesting the following replacements of the AngularJS terminology.

	scope -> state

	factory -> data/models

	filter -> helper

	directive {restrict: 'E'} -> custom_tag
	directive {restrict: 'A'} -> custom_attribute

	$ git rm --cached -r <dir>
