An explanation of the timing of drag and drop events

Drag and drop

This is a collection of knowledge I have built up regarding browser powered drag and drop functionality

Events

dragstart

  • timing: once as drag is starting
  • event.target: draggable Element

// A short snippet for detecting versions of IE in JavaScript
// without resorting to user-agent sniffing
// ----------------------------------------------------------
// If you're not in IE (or IE version is less than 5) then:
// ie === undefined
// If you're in IE (>=5) then you can determine which version:
// ie === 7; // IE7
// Thus, to detect IE:
// if (ie) {}

Doing multiple almond builds with a nodejs script, example
//Download jquery.js and place it in the build, do not use require-jquery.js
//in the build, since each of the build layers just needs almond and not the
//full require.js file.
//This file is run in nodejs to do the build: node build.js
//Load the requirejs optimizer
var requirejs = require('./r.js');
//Set up basic config, include config that is
//common to all the requirejs.optimize() calls.

nodejs clustering, zero downtime deployment solutions

Clustering: The basics

The trick? pass the file descriptor from a parent process and have the server.listen reuse that descriptor. So multiprocess in their own memory space (but with ENV shared usually)

It does not balance, it leaves it to the kernel.

In the last nodejs > 0.8 there is a cluster module (functional although marked experimental)

How I Got Node.js Talking on EC2's Port 80

The Problem

Standard practices say no non-root process gets to talk to the Internet on a port less than 1024. How, then, could I get Node talking on port 80 on EC2? (I wanted it to go as fast as possible and use the smallest possible share of my teeny tiny little micro-instance's resources, so proxying through nginx or Apache seemed suboptimal.)

The temptingly easy but ultimately wrong solution:

Alter the port the script talks to from 8000 to 80:

}).listen(80);

Securing ExpressJS

tl;dr

  1. Don't run as root.
  2. For sessions, set httpOnly (and secure to true if running over SSL) when setting cookies.
  3. Use the Helmet for secure headers: https://github.com/evilpacket/helmet
  4. Enable csrf for preventing Cross-Site Request Forgery: http://expressjs.com/api.html#csrf
  5. Don't use the deprecated bodyParser() and only use multipart explicitly. To avoid multiparts vulnerability to 'temp file' bloat, use the defer property and pipe() the multipart upload stream to the intended destination.
