Getting started:



    

  • Create directories $ mkdir -p ~/project/node_modules && cd ~/project
    • 

  • Install dependencies $ npm install connect colors
    • 

             		                            
             		           
                               
                            
                                
               
Usage:



$ PRODUCTION=true node node.js (prod mode) or $ node node.js (dev mode)
             		                            
var connect  = require('connect')
  , colors = require('colors')
  , cacheAge = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000
  , prod = process.env.PRODUCTION
             		           
                               
                            
                                
               
NOTE: You'll need to change these paths:
             		                            
  , root = prod ? 'path/to/prod/public': 'path/to/dev/public'
  , port = prod ? 80 : 8080;

Always keep this route last
             		                            
  app.get('*', function(req, res, next) {

    var url = req.url
      , ua = req.headers['user-agent'];
             		           
                               
                            
                                
               
Block access to hidden files and directories that begin with a period
             		                            
    if (url.match(/(^|\/)\./)) {
      res.end("Not allowed");
    }
             		           
                               
                            
                                
               
Better website experience for IE users



Force the latest IE version, in cases when it may fall back to IE7 mode
             		                            
    if(ua && ua.indexOf('MSIE') && /htm?l/.test(ua)) {

Production Environment Compression (requires latest version of node)



If you want to enable gzippo:



var gzippo = require('gzippo');'



Then install gzippo via $ npm install gzippo and add to var routes{}:



app.use(gzippo.staticGzip(root, { maxAge: cacheAge}));



Next remove , connect["static"](root, { maxAge: cacheAge }) from below.
