Learn Hapi, Realm and Riot

hapi is a battle-tested, full-featured, framework for building web applications and services with Node.js. With integrated support for essentials like authentication, caching and validation, and a powerful plugin system, hapi is ideal for projects and teams of any size.

This course will introduce hapi, some of it’s plugins, and guide you through many of hapi’s core features.

A rich framework for building applications and services hapi enables developers to focus on writing reusable application logic instead of spending time building infrastructure.

Introduction to Node Servers with Hapi.js

View engines, or template engines, allow you to maintain a clean separation between your presentation layer and the rest of your application. This video will demonstrate how to use the vision plugin with hapi to enable template support.

hapi does not support serving static files out of the box. Instead it relies on a module called Inert. This lesson will cover serving static files using Inert's custom handlers.

Routing is a fundamental aspect of any framework. In this lesson, you'll learn how to use path parameters in hapi's router. We'll also touch on how the router uses specificity to order routes internally.

hapi.js - Route parameters

hapi doesn't ship with logging support baked in. Luckily, hapi's rich plugin ecosystem includes everything needed to configure logging for your application. This video will introduce good, a process monitor for hapi, and good-console, a reporter for good that outputs to standard out.

hapi.js - Logging with good and good-console

hapi makes handling POST and PUT payloads easy by buffering and parsing them automatically without requiring additional modules or middleware. This video will demonstrate how to handle JSON and form based request payloads via hapi's route configuration.

hapi.js - POST and PUT request payloads

hapi's reply interface is one of it's most powerful features. It's smart enough to detect and serialize objects, buffers, promises and even streams. This video will demonstrate first hand how to use the reply method to send your data to the client, no matter the format.

hapi.js - Replying to Requests

Think of hapi's `reply()` function as "what you want to say" and the `response` object as "how you want to say it". While `reply` controls the payload sent to the client, the `response` object will allow you to control how the client interprets the payload by manipulating status code, content type, state and more.

hapi.js - Using the response object

hapi automatically responds with JSON for any error passed to a route's `reply()` method. But what if your application needs errors rendered in HTML? This lesson shows how to implement friendly HTML error messages using hapi extension events.

hapi.js - Friendly error pages with extension events

hapi supports request validation out of the box using the joi module. Request path parameters, payloads, and querystring parameters can be validated with joi's simple, yet powerful, notation. This lesson covers the basics of validating requests using joi.

hapi.js - Request Validation with Joi

hapi has built-in support for parsing cookies from a request headers, and writing cookies to a response, making state management easy and straight-forward. It even has built in support for cookie encryption and auto detects when a cookie contains JSON, parsing or stringifying automatically.

Riot brings custom tags to all modern browsers. Think React + Polymer but with enjoyable syntax and a small learning curve.

riot

Tag Options allow you to abstract your custom tag elements into reusable objects by allowing the tag-user to specify the dynamic parameters of their component.

Riot JS - Tag Options

Getting started with Riot JS. We'll discuss riot's compile and mount process and build a small hello world component with simple data-binding.

Riot JS - Getting Started with this React-like micro-library

Riot can listen for raw dom events on any element by adding the on* attribute to elements and referencing an event handler. Let's walk through a couple examples.

Riot JS - DOM Events

hapi is a rock solid server framework for Node.js. Its focus on modularity and configuration-over-convention makes it the perfect match for any size development team. This video will introduce you to hapi by showing you the bare minimum needed to run a hapi server.

hapi.js - Up and running

It's easy to repeat over a collection and render many elements. Riot works very similar to Angular and has various syntaxes for it's each attribute. We'll look at the typical syntax for arrays, a shortened syntax, and an object key/value syntax.

Riot JS - Repeating Elements with Each Attribute

Instead of using middlware, hapi provides a number of points during the lifecycle of a request that you can hook-in to provide additional functionality, called "extension events". This lesson will give you an introduction to using extension events, and show how they can be used to manipulate the request or response in-flight.

hapi.js - Extending the request with lifecycle events

Riot takes a 'keep your styles close' approach with custom tags. You are encouraged to place your styles for a tags element right inline with the html and javascript. Learn how riot parses the inline styles as well as ways to keep your styles from bleeding out to the rest of your app. Scoped styles provide great isolation for your custom tag. Use the class attribute's special binding syntax to easily add and remove a class based on an expression.

Riot JS - Scoped CSS and Toggled Classes

Every tag in Riot has a lifecycle. I'll explore the three hooks: mount, update, and unmount while adding an animation feature for an existing tag. Lifecycle hooks are important for setting up, tearing down, and keeping a tag's view up to date after external logic is run.
