Raynos-Blog

A blog that's running on node.js.

This is a learning experience for me.

I will use this code to run a blog at http://www.raynos.org

Status: running in production but still beta

Architecture overview

• /tests/unit contains unit tests
• /tests/http contains HTTP level integration tests
• /tests/zombie contains HTML forms tests

The architecture is build on ncore and the depencencies are shown.

• routes register HTTP uris on the router
• controllers implement HTTP logic for a particular uri
• domains implement domain logic
• dataSources abstract database interactions
• viewModels map domain objects to objects that can be passed to templates.

HTTP flow

A http request comes and the router is called to return a single controller based on the uri.

The controller function is invoked and does logic including calls to domains.

Routil is used to do req/res manipulation utilities and to minimize the amount of common code that is run for every single request.
