I am new to Nodejs and aslo coming from a procedural language background so I have this need to know the execution flow of my code. I have a general question about the flow of Nodejs procedures. This is the scenario:
The code structure:
Appnamefolder
...standard node folders(.idea,css,fonts,etc)
...model
....database.js (connect to db and execute db queries)
...public
...routes
....users.js (GET and POST procedures....calls db queries via module.export)
...views
...app.js
...other js files
The question concerns the database. Since the DB connect is not in the app.js file but in a .js file in the model folder at what point is the DB connection made? and is a connection made every time a DB query is made?
What I hope to happen is that the DB connect is made one time and remain connected until the app is terminated. I tried putting the DB connect in app.js but I get an error when I attempt a DB query so I have to place the DB connect in the same file as the DB queries......Somehow this seems wrong to me. Can anyone explain how node handle this flow?....will be appreciative of any assistance.

For a start you have to understand that each file is a module.
Your app starts with running a single js file (module) like node app.js.
One module can load another module and another and so on.
Your folder structure does not have any effect on the order by itself. It all depends on your code and in what order do you load modules. While your sync code will run in the order you write it your async code will run in the future and you need to understand the event loop to understand what happens in your code.
From the small context you gave I guess you might tried to query your database before you connected to it. I don't see your code but it can happen regardless of where you connect (app.js file or another).

For router.use, it does not work like this anymore:
router.use("/api", apiRoutes);
Instead an error is thrown:
throw new typeerror('router.use() requires a middleware function but got a ' + gettype(fn))
How do I re-purpose that expression so that it works? I have not found any examples that were useful so far. Here is some of my sample code:
routes/index.js (this does not work)
const path = require("path");
const router = require("express").Router();
const apiRoutes = require("./api");
// API Routes
router.use("/api", apiRoutes);**// this throws an error**
router.use(function(req, res) {
res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, "../client/build/index.html"));
});
module.exports = router;
Here is an example of my attempt to re-purpose but I do not think it's correct:
var path = require("path");
var router = require("express").Router();
var apiRoutes = require("./api");
//API Routes
//authRouter.use(require('./authenticate').basic(usersdb))
//router.use("./api", apiRoutes);
console.log("Hitting API routes...")
router.use("./api", function(req, res, next) { **//re-purpsose attempt here**
res.send(apiRoutes)
console.log("API Routes:", apiRoutes)
next()
});
console.log("API Routes hit")
// //If no API routes are hit, send the React app
// router.use(function(req, res) {
// res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, "../client/public/index.html"));
// });
module.exports = router
This is the overall error I'm getting (404 returned):
GET /api/website_1_function_call/scrape 404 4.004 ms - 173
I know that this may be due to something else indirectly but I really am not sure about the router.use part.
I know for sure that the routes are not being hit properly and would like to fix.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I think my re-purpose attempt worked ( I removed next() since there are no defined routes right after). It seems to be processing. However, now my response hangs and this happens:
GET /api/website_1_function_call/scrape - - ms - -
This prints in the browser console:

Code to update the database:

//After scraping the main page, the following function is to save to the

saveToDatabase = function() {

}

//Successful, so render

}
So the new issue is that the response hangs. I think it's because the code to update the database does not work (using sequelize). Let me know if anything else is needed and thank you in advance.
Thanks for all of the input everyone. After reviewing I found out that the function itself does not have to be re-purposed as I initially thought... I didn't know that if, for example, you are using "router.use("/directoy", directory) and you are using it in succession to point to different directories, the final directory hit must have a defined route like router.get(). I modularized my code to the point where the final directory was just a list of functions (one of these functions had the router.get method). This did not work. When I point the file directly to the code containing the router.get method, my scraped data returns to the terminal. Just thought I'd share my findings at least because I didn't know this at all . Many thanks to #mehta-rohan and #Anand Undavia for the insights. I'm still trying to get the data to render to the page but that's a different problem altogether.
I've a problem since two days ago now.
I just want an authentification on my static files.
I look at a lot of post on the internet and nothing answer my question simply.
I try to use basic-auth, but it has no effect on my webpages.
I just want a simple dialog box before open my static pages that ask name and password and in my server.js just a thing like : if name == 'foo' and password =='pwd' then "send my static content".
But it seems to be not simple as it might be.
There is my code :

var app = express();
var bodyParser = require("body-parser");

Here i can not get the pages even if the server is running.Please help me to get the pages after running the node server.
I am working on implementing social network application using node.js and the source that I use is Building Node Application with MongoDB and Backbone' by Mike Wilson.However, I cannot figure out the how to resolve the error of the MemoryStore --var MemoryStore = require('connect').session.MemoryStore;
Also, I tried to comment it but the error with middleware appear
var Session = require('connect').middleware.session.Session;
Can I get your help please ?

Your problem:
app.use(app.router)
, mounts your routes in that position in the call chain. You have it before your session middleware, so there is no req.session yet. When you leave it out, your routes will be positioned whenever you do your first app.get (or app.post and so on). If you still wish to control where your routes should be,
you can just:
move app.use(app.router) below the session middleware.
I'm making a Node.js app and I need to create a new document in mongoDB inside socket.io.
I have to insert the logged in user in the new document.
How can I access the session variable inside socketio ?

// Error handler:

// LISTEN SERVER =======================================================

I found a temporary solution :
I emit the user Id in my views :
socket.emit('userId', $("#userId").val());
Then I set the socket.userId var :
socket.on('userId', function(userId){
socket.userId = userId;
});
But it's probably unsafe
