What is NODE js & Install NODE js on linux using terminal

-
NODE js :
Node.js is an open source, cross-platform runtime environment built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine for server-side and networking applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient. Node.js applications are written in JavaScript.



Basic two ways to install node on linux --

 1.  Run the command 
Step 1: curl --silent --location https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_0.12 | sudo bash -
Step 2: sudo apt-get install --y nodejs

2. By using nvm :

 => RUN the command :
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.11.1/install.sh | bash

nvm will be installed. and you will ask to close and reopen your terminal to start using NVM or you can acheived so by using this command :
source ~/.profile

And now you can use, nvm ls-remote.
If you have error, -bash: nvm: command not found, then install git by using apt-get install git

The nvm ls-remote will show all the versions of node, to install any listed version use nvm install version_name like nvm install 0.10.13

Now, if node is installed, type node --version to see the node version installed.

And, in future if you want to use another node version just type nvm install version_name
to install and then it will be switched to this new version.

If you later, switch to back to previous version just use nvm use version_name 
To see the node path type which node

* npm is by default installed, on installing NODE js
* The main reason for installing NODE by using NVM, is that it provide the switching capabilities among different versions

What the hack is Call, bind & apply

-
As Javascript developers, most of the time we are pretty confused about the Call, bind & apply & their use in JavaScript. So let's try to understand. 1. CALL & APPLY Both are these methods are simply known as immediately invoked function. What basically it means whenever you defined both these methods on a function it execute immediately as we run the program. Technically, if we define CALL & APPLY, both are used to execute a function in a different this context. Where this is passed as first argument & the second or subsequent argument (for Call ) is treated as arguments Only difference b/w them is that CALL takes argument as comma separated while apply takes argument as an array with this as first argument. So syntax wise, we can simply write them as follows - f.call(<this-context>, a1, a2, a3, ...) f.apply(<this-context>, [a1, a2, a3, ...]) Where f is a function to be called in respect of a different this context, where in the...

What is MQTT protocol & its use

So let' start journey towards gets basics about MQTT. Before understanding MQTT, we should know what basically is publish/subscribe design pattern. The publish/subscribe pattern (also known as pub/sub ) provides an alternative to traditional client-server architecture.  In the client-sever model , a client communicates directly with an endpoint. The pub/sub model decouples the client that sends a message (the publisher) from the client or clients that receive the messages (the subscribers). The publishers and subscribers never contact each other directly. In fact, they are not even aware that the other exists.  The connection between them is handled by a third component (the Broker - eg https://mosquitto.org ). The job of the Broker is to filter all incoming messages and distribute them correctly to subscribers. Now coming back to MQTT - MQTT is a Client Server publish/subscribe messaging transport protocol. Being a light weight, open, simple pro...

What is Provider in Angular Js?

What is Provider in Angular Js? You can define Provider as service which is configurable and which should be used when you want to expose an API for application-wide configuration that must be made before the application starts. So technically speaking, it make sense during bootstrap(config) phase. During application bootstrap, before AngularJS goes off creating all services, it configures and instantiates all providers. We call this the configuration phase of the application life-cycle . During this phase, services aren't accessible because they haven't been created yet. Once the configuration phase is over, interaction with providers is disallowed and the process of creating services starts. We call this part of the application life-cycle the run phase . So simply speaking there is no way to use any service in config phase except constant & Provider. Technically, a Provider is defined as an object with a $get function. Example - So let s...
