nodeutil

NodeUtil

This is just a tool collect for easy use of some tool library. I will pack some operation for more easy to use.

Install

npm install nodeutil

Usage

var nu = require('nodeutil');

Using logger

var log = nu.logger.getInstance();
log.info('Test logger...');

Or you can insert log name to getInstance() to catelogry your log...

var log = nu.logger.getInstance('MAIN_LOG');

You can also set logger some advance properties:

var log = require('nodeutil').logger.getInstance('io_sockets', {
	path:	'your-logger-path',
	catg: 'log-category-name',
	level: 'log-level',
	logMaxSize: 'max-log-file-size',
	logBackup: 'backup-days'
});

Advance Logger

If your need to do more with log, you can extend the log4js setting like this:

var log = nu.logger.addInstance('appjs', {
		"type": "dateFile",
		"filename": 'test-log.log',
		"pattern": "-yyyy-MM-dd-ss.log",
		"alwaysIncludePattern": true
});

In addAppender(), you can put appender config using log4js config format. Related config format, please reference to log4js: https://github.com/nomiddlename/log4js-node

For date rolling log, please reference here for dateFile appender: https://github.com/nomiddlename/log4js-node/wiki/Date-rolling-file-appender

Using dateutil

var dateutil = no.dateutil;
var pattern = 'yyyymmdd hh24:mi:ss';
dateutil.getNowString(pattern);
dateutil.getDateString(new Date(), pattern)

Using step

var Step = nu.step;
Step(
  function step1(){
    //do something...
    return something1;
  },
  function step2(step1_returned){
    //do something
    return something2;
  },
  ...
)

Using cfgutil

var cfgutil = nu.cfgutil;
//read from json file
var cfg = cfgutil.readJsonCfg('path to json config file');

Using mailutil

var mailer = nu.mailutil;

mailer.init(
  {"smtpOptions":{"service":"Gmail", "auth": {"user": "your-account","pass": "your-password"}}, "sender": "NO-REPLY <[e-mail]>"}
);

mailer.sendNodeMailAsync('[e-mail]',
  'test mail send...',
  'send mail OK!',
  true,
  function(){
    console.log('Send mail done...');
  }
);

Using mailutil through localhost sendmail service

var mailer = require('nodeutil').mailutil;

mailer.init(
      {"smtpOptions":{"host":"localhost"}, "sender": "NO-REPLY <[e-mail]>"}
    );

mailer.sendNodeMailAsync('[e-mail]',
  'test mail send...',
  'send mail OK!',
  true,
  function(){
    console.log('Send mail done...');
  }
);

Advance using mailutil...

mailer.init(
  {"smtpOptions": {"service":"Gmail",
    "auth": {
      "user": "your_mail_username", "pass": "your_password"
    }},
    "sender": "NO-REPLY <[e-mail]>"
  }
);

mailer.sendNodeMail({
    to:["[e-mail]"],
    subject: "test123",
    html:"<h1>TEST123</h1>",
    cc:["[e-mail]"],
    attachments: [//see detail: https://github.com/andris9/Nodemailer#attachment-fields
       {   // utf-8 string as an attachment
            fileName: "text1.txt",
            contents: "hello world!"
        },
        {   // binary buffer as an attachment
            fileName: "text2.txt",
            contents: new Buffer("hello world!","utf-8")
        }]
  },
  true, function(res){
    console.log(res);
  }
);

Convert Json to Table

var json2table = nu.json2table;
var json = [{aaa:123, bbb:223}, {aaa:223, bbb:323}];
console.log(json2table.ConvertJsonToTable(json));

The result:

<table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"><thead><tr><th>aaa</th><th>bbb</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>123</td><td>223</td></tr><tr><td>223</td><td>323</td></tr></tbody></table>

Generate GUID

var guid = nu.guid;
//Generate a guid without prefix and postfix
console.log( guid.getGuid('%s%s%s', 0,0));
//Generate a guid with 2 digit prefix and 3 digit postfix
console.log( guid.getSimpleGuid('%s-%s-%s', 2,3));

//Generate a guid using specifc seed
var a = '12341234'
console.log( guid.getSimpleGuidWithSeed(a, '%s-%s-%s', 2,3));

The result:

-13ee608f7e0-
FE-13ee608f7e1-Dia
rm-12341234-eep
