Spludo 1.1.0 released
Finally a new spludo 1.1.0 release is available. This is also the start of 1.2-dev development.
The 1.1-branch will stay to support node version 0.4, 1.2 will (soon) support only 0.6 and later.
Changes from 1.0.3 to 1.1.0:

* added code generation for Services
* added DatabaseManager and ServiceManager
* added Logging#addTracing (makes the this.trace(function_name) obsolete)
* Codegeneration loads the spludo application now (this enables the developer
to generate code against the base of the application)
* Codegeneration #validateParameter receives the validated parameters now
* TestCases are now able to call .debug+.log and so on, because the execute
method is applied to the TestSuite.
I have been using this development version for plenty small projects and the code generation, migrations and database driver stuff should really help
you get your app developed way faster!
Loads of documentation and examples can be found in the spludo user guide.
Have fun!
Nginx always overwrites the Server-Header
When I was configuring the nodejs server behind nginx, I experienced the issue that nginx always overwrote the Server header response.
This is a bit annoying, since I want to know what version of spludo runs on my site.
The solution is not to set
since that would only disable the version number.
The solution is:
Facebook Client for node.js 1.3.0
Today I have an update for the Facebook Client for node.js finished.
The version 1.3.0 is a graph and rest api client for facebook. It has support for the latest stable nodejs 0.4.x.
Now it's possible to post data (for instance into your news feed):

"/me/feed", {
"message":"I love node.js!"
},
'POST'
)(function(result) {
console.log('The new feed post id is: ' + result.id);
});
All you need to do is to specify the method parameter (defaults to GET).
Thanks to jharlap for this addition.
Also thanks to tslater and shaisultanov. They found an issue with expires-time (which is fixed now) and requested the brand new FacebookSession#isValid method, which tells you if the session is really alive.
Source may be found at node-facebook-client@github.
The package is also available by using npm:
log4j like logging in node.js (from Spludo)
One core feature of spludo, is the powerful logging system. This system is entirely independent from spludo, so you may use it in your own (even non-spludo) nodejs project with ease.
Like described in the tutorial about configuration, you can easily add logging facality to every prototyped class:
2
3

// ...
}
extend(true, DocsManager.prototype, Logging.prototype);
DocsManager.prototype.logging_prefix = 'DocsManager';
It's important to add #logging_prefix, otherwise the methods won't know which class originally had the function implemented.
Usually you use it with just one parameter:
node.js facebook client for graph and rest api

- generate a session from an

> code+redirect_uri (oauth 2.0)
> ... or by using a session-key (facebook connect)
- validate a signature from facebook
- sign a request for facebook
An example and the source code can be found at the official github page of
node-facebook-client.
Download node-facebook-client 1.0.0 here at dracoblue.net. It should work with any nodejs version after 0.2.0.

Comments and patches appriciated as usual!
ISO 8601 Date String with Node.JS for AmazonWS
When I tried in javascript to calculate the ISO 8601 Date String, I noticed that there is already such method on the Date object.
This method is called toISOString and is not yet documented at the mdc page.
This date format is needed for instance for the amazon web services.
If you need a implementation anyways (even though toISOString should be available), here is a plain javascript implementation:

var pad_two = function(n) {
return (n < 10 ? '0' : '') + n;
};
var pad_three = function(n) {
return (n < 100 ? '0' : '') + (n < 10 ? '0' : '') + n;
};
return [
date.getUTCFullYear(),
'-',
pad_two(date.getUTCMonth() + 1),
'-',
pad_two(date.getUTCDate()),
'T',
pad_two(date.getUTCHours()),
':',
pad_two(date.getUTCMinutes()),
':',
pad_two(date.getUTCSeconds()),
'.',
pad_three(date.getUTCMilliseconds()),
'Z',
].join('');
}
It takes a javascript date object and converts it to an iso 8601 date string.
