#Getting Started With Node

So... Enterprise development is a little crazy. I think he managed to give us a bare idea of what we're meant to do but he left out some really important things. So this is a post for people who might not be familiar with Node.js etc.

Firstly, it can be a bit of a pain to install properly. Luckily there's a great project called nvm (node version manager) that can make the installation and management of node versions on *nix really easy. nvm can be installed in a single line. Follow the instructions to install in the link.

Once installed you can install node and npm with the following

nvm install 4.2.3 #install node
nvm use 4.2.3 #tell nvm to place the installation in the right directories

KMS Encrypt and Decrypt Filters for Ansible

This Gist shows how you can encrypt/decrypt variables with KMS during your Ansible playbook execution. While google searching I couldn't find anything useful on the subject.

Let's say your project has a folder of playbooks called plays.

In that folder, create a folder called filter_plugins and insert kms_filters.py (included in this gist)

Commit Message Guidelines

This project has rules for commit messages (based on Conventional Commits). There are several reasons for this:

Commit messages are more readable, especially when looking through the project history.
Commit messages describe whether a major, minor or patch change has been introduced (see semver.org)
Commit messages can be used to generate a changelog.

Commit Message Format

Each commit message consists of a header, an optional body and an an optional footer. The header has a special

	version: 0.0
	os: linux
	files:
	- source: /
	destination: /home/ec2-user/node
	permissions:
	- object: /home/ec2-user
	owner: ec2-user
	group: ec2-user
	type:

	const http = require('http');
	const memwatch = require('memwatch-next');
	const heapdump = require('heapdump');

	var server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
	for (var i=0; i<1000; i++) {
	server.on('request', function leakyfunc() {});
	}

	res.end('Hello World\n');

	const Hapi = require('hapi')
	const Joi = require('joi')
	const Boom = require('boom')

	const server = new Hapi.Server()
	server.connection({ host: 'localhost', port: 8000 })

	server.register(
