Dear MySQL users,
MySQL Connector/Node.js is a new Node.js driver for use with the
X
DevAPI. This release, v8.0.25, is a maintenance release of
the
MySQL Connector/Node.js 8.0 series.
The X DevAPI enables application developers to write code that
combines
the strengths of the relational and document models using a
modern,
NoSQL-like syntax that does not assume previous experience
writing
traditional SQL.
MySQL Connector/Node.js can be downloaded through npm (see
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@mysql/xdevapi for
details) or from
https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/nodejs/.

Starting with the 8.0.23 release,
Connector/Node.js will be deprecating support
for End-of-life Node.js engine versions. Support for these
versions will eventually be removed on subsequent releases which
will focus on compatibility with the available LTS versions at
the date of each release.
Why now?
Up until now, the minimum Node.js engine version compatible with
Connector/Node.js was version
4.2.0. This is a fairly old release that has reached
End-of-life status in 2018 and, of course, hasn’t been maintained
since then. This is also the case for the next two major Node.js
versions – v6 and v8 – and will
soon (April 30, 2021) be the case for Node.js
v10. So, as of today, the oldest LTS version
available is effectively Node.js v12, and the …

It used to be the case where, in order to
actually process data retrieved from the database using
Connector/Node.js, you would have to resort to
an API that required the use of both JavaScript callbacks and
Promises. This was meant to provide more flexibility
and control to the application developer and at the same time
decrease the chance of buffering data unnecessarily. However this
wasn’t useful for 99% of the use-cases and made simple tasks a
little bit cumbersome. Also, the fact that it required using two
different asynchronous constructs made it a little bit harder to
grasp.
To make matters worse, in order to consume operational metadata about the columns in the result set, you would have to provide an …

When building network libraries for Node.js, as we do at work, one quite quickly comes by Node's Buffer type. A Buffer gives access to a memory region in a quite raw form, allowing to handle raw data and allowing to interpret binary streams. The Buffer interface predates ES6 TypedArrays and has some optimizations.
Two optimisations are notable:
For one the slice() method does not copy data, but returns a view on the underlying data. This makes it quite efficient to work on a window of the data, but when writing one has to be careful. Simple example:
const buffer = Buffer.from("hello"); …[Read more]

We have covered session management in ExpressJs using global variable technique which of course will not work in case of shared server or concurrent execution of http requests which is most familiar production scenario.
Codeforgeek readers requested to provide solution for these issue and the optimal one is to use external session storage which is not dependent on application requests, answer is Redis cause this is the light weight and easy to use NoSQL database.
In this tutorial i am going to explain how to design and code session oriented express web applications by using Redis as external session storage.
To get familiar with Session handling in ExpressJS I recommend to read our first article …

Real-time web/mobile application is becoming popular day by day. Services like Firebase and Pusher provides API’s and Services to develop effective real-time notification system for your mobile and web apps.
We are not going to use these Services in this post; instead, we will develop an application that pops up notification on a particular event – Say a new comment added on Post. For notification, we will use Chrome desktop notification and for real-time communication – Socket.io.
I have already covered desktop notification here and Socket.io tutorial here.
