The `render` method works when you have a templating engine, such as [Handlebars](https://handlebarsjs.com) or [Jade](http://jade-lang.com), in use.

A templating engine is something that parses a given template file and generates HTML output. This is so you can generate an HTML web page depending on some variables in your program.

Such templates are often used with Express.js when writing applications that have a front-end.

The `sendfile` method, on the other hand, simply sends a given file to the client, regardless of the type and contents of the file.

Since you are using an HTML file, there is nothing particularly to be parsed by the templating engine. So, the output of `render` is same as that of `sendfile` (i.e., the HTML written in the file). Hence, both produce the same result.

I have a JavaScript code which save string to the Local storage, the string size is 400000,

    var dataURL = canvas.toDataURL(&quot;image/jpg&quot;).toString();
    localStorage.setItem(&quot;dataURL&quot;, dataURL);

I open the html file from chrome, in one computer its OK in the other computer i get 

&gt; Uncaught QuotaExceededError: Failed to execute &#39;setItem&#39; on
&gt; &#39;Storage&#39;: Setting the value of &#39;dataURL&#39; exceeded the quota.

In this computer I allowed to save string length no more than 100000 chars.
Both computers have the same chrome&#39;s Version 35.0.1916.114 m 
Why?

Setting the value of &#39;dataURL&#39; exceeded the quota

I tried both `res.render(&#39;index.html&#39;)` and `res.sendfile(&#39;index.html&#39;)` and they both seem to be doing the same thing. I don&#39;t find the Express.js documentation very helpful.

What&#39;s the difference between the two?

I want to separate Routes from my server.js file. 

I am following this tutorial on Scotch.io
http://scotch.io/tutorials/javascript/build-a-restful-api-using-node-and-express-4

It is working if all lines are on server.js file. But I am failing to separate. How can I make this work?

server.js

    // set up ======================================================================
    var express = require(&#39;express&#39;);
    var app = express();
    var bodyParser = require(&#39;body-parser&#39;);
    
    // configuration ===============================================================
    app.use(bodyParser());

    var port = process.env.PORT || 8000;

    var mongoose = require(&#39;mongoose&#39;);
    var database = require(&#39;./config/database&#39;);
    mongoose.connect(database.url);
    var Video = require(&#39;./app/models/video&#39;);
    
    // routes =======================================================================
    app.use(&#39;/api&#39;, require(&#39;./app/routes/routes&#39;).router);

    // listen (start app with node server.js) ======================================
    app.listen(port);
    console.log(&quot;ready captain, on deck&quot; + port);
    
    module.exports = app;

And the app/routes/routes.js

    var express = require(&#39;express&#39;);
    var router = express.Router();
    
    router.use(function(req, res, next) {
      console.log(&#39;Something is happening.&#39;);
      next();
    });
    
    router.get(&#39;/&#39;, function(req, res) {
      res.json({ message: &#39;hooray! welcome to our rest video api!&#39; });	
    });
    
    
    router.route(&#39;/videos&#39;)
    
      .post(function(req, res) {
    
        var video = new Video();
        video.title = req.body.title;

        video.save(function(err) {
      if (err)
        res.send(err);

      res.json({ message: &#39;Video criado!&#39; });
    });
    
    
      })
    
      .get(function(req, res) {
        Video.find(function(err, videos) {
          if (err)
            res.send(err);
    
          res.json(videos);
        });
      });
    
    module.exports.router = router;

How to separate routes on Node.js and Express 4?

I&#39;m using a Node/express server.  The default timeout of express is 120,000 ms, but it is not enough for me.  When my response reaches 120,000 ms, the console will log `POST /additem 200 120006ms` and the page shows an error, so I want to set the timeout to a larger value.  How would I do that?

How to modify the nodejs request default timeout time?

I have a multiple contentIds.

    Mode.findAll({
        where: {
         id: contentIds
       }
      })

After finding all how can I Delete multiple rows from a table.

Or tell me other options to delete multiple records with a single query.

Is multiple delete available in sequelize?

I&#39;m running gulp 3.6.2 and have the following task that was set up from a sample online

    gulp.task(&#39;watch&#39;, [&#39;default&#39;], function () {
      gulp.watch([
        &#39;views/**/*.html&#39;,        
        &#39;public/**/*.js&#39;,
        &#39;public/**/*.css&#39;        
      ], function (event) {
        return gulp.src(event.path)
          .pipe(refresh(lrserver));
      });

      gulp.watch([&#39;./app/**/*.coffee&#39;],[&#39;scripts&#39;]);
      gulp.watch(&#39;./app/**/*.scss&#39;,[&#39;scss&#39;]);
    });

Any time there&#39;s an error in my CoffeeScript gulp watch stops - obviously not what I want.

[As recommended elsewhere I tried this](https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp/issues/71)

    gulp.watch([&#39;./app/**/*.coffee&#39;],[&#39;scripts&#39;]).on(&#39;error&#39;, swallowError);
    gulp.watch(&#39;./app/**/*.scss&#39;,[&#39;scss&#39;]).on(&#39;error&#39;, swallowError);
    function swallowError (error) { error.end(); }

but it doesn&#39;t seem to work.

What am I doing wrong?

---

In response to @Aper&#231;u&#39;s answer I modified my `swallowError` method and tried the following instead:

    gulp.task(&#39;scripts&#39;, function () {
      gulp.src(&#39;./app/script/*.coffee&#39;)
        .pipe(coffee({ bare: true }))
        .pipe(gulp.dest(&#39;./public/js&#39;))
        .on(&#39;error&#39;, swallowError);
    });

Restarted, and then created a syntax error in my coffee file. Same issue:

    [gulp] Finished &#39;scripts&#39; after 306 μs

Prevent errors from breaking / crashing gulp watch

I&#39;m developing a web app on Node.js (+ express 4) where users can set their profile image by uploading it to the server. We already limit the file mimetype and max filesize, so the user can&#39;t upload more than 200KB png or jpeg images.

The problem is we&#39;d like to resize (serverside) the uploaded image resolution to 200x200 to improve page loading and saving space on disk. After some research, all answers pointed to using any module based on ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick. 

However, having to install ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick to do a simple image resizing seems too overkill for me, so, is there any other solution other than this for Node.js?

**Edit:** I&#39;ve changed the accepted solution to [sharp][1] as the previous solution (lwip) is no longer maintained. Thanks for all your feedback!

Node.js: image resizing without ImageMagick

Following the upgrade to Express 4, and the removal of app.router, I&#39;m struggling to get middleware to execute after routes execute.

e.g. the following code correctly responds with &quot;hello&quot;, but never calls the configured middleware

    var express = require( &quot;express&quot; )();
    
    express.get( &quot;/&quot;, function( req, res ) {
    
    	res.send( &quot;hello&quot; );
    
    } );
    express.use( function( req, res, next ) {
    
    	console.log( &quot;world&quot; );
        next();
    
    } );
    
    express.listen( 8888 );

CLARIFICATION:

the following code shows &quot;before&quot; on the console, but not &quot;after&quot;:

    var express = require( &quot;express&quot; )();
    
    express.use( function( req, res, next ) {
    
    	console.log( &quot;before&quot; );
    	next();
    
    } );
    express.get( &quot;/&quot;, function( req, res ) {
    
    	res.send( &quot;hello&quot; );
    
    } );
    express.use( function( req, res, next ) {
    
    	console.log( &quot;after&quot; );
    	next();
    
    } );
    
    express.listen( 8888 );

Node Express 4 middleware after routes

I am using express 4.0 and I&#39;m aware that body parser has been taken out of the express core, I am using the recommended replacement, however I am getting 

`body-parser deprecated bodyParser: use individual json/urlencoded middlewares server.js:15:12
body-parser deprecated urlencoded: explicitly specify &quot;extended: true&quot; for extended parsing node_modules/body-parser/index.js:74:29`

Where do I find this supposed middlewares? or should I not be getting this error?

    var express 	= require(&#39;express&#39;);
	var server 		= express();
	var bodyParser 	= require(&#39;body-parser&#39;);
	var mongoose 	= require(&#39;mongoose&#39;);
	var passport	= require(&#39;./config/passport&#39;);
	var routes		= require(&#39;./routes&#39;);

	mongoose.connect(&#39;mongodb://localhost/myapp&#39;, function(err) {
		if(err) throw err;
	});

	server.set(&#39;view engine&#39;, &#39;jade&#39;);
	server.set(&#39;views&#39;, __dirname + &#39;/views&#39;);

	server.use(bodyParser()); 
	server.use(passport.initialize());

	// Application Level Routes
	routes(server, passport);

	server.use(express.static(__dirname + &#39;/public&#39;));

	server.listen(3000);


bodyParser is deprecated express 4

I have a problem in trying to do a POST request in my application and I searched a lot, but I did not find the solution. 

So, I have a nodeJS application and a website, and I am trying to do a POST request using a form from this site, but I always end up in this:

![enter image description here][1]


  [1]: http://i.stack.imgur.com/xJgUN.png

and in the console I see :

        Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property &#39;value&#39; of null 
    Post &quot;http://name.github.io/APP-example/file.html &quot; not allowed

that is in this line of code : 

file.html:

    &lt;form id=&quot;add_Emails&quot; method =&quot;POST&quot; action=&quot;&quot;&gt;
        
        &lt;textarea rows=&quot;5&quot; cols=&quot;50&quot; name=&quot;email&quot;&gt;Put the emails here...
        &lt;/textarea&gt;
            
            &lt;p&gt;
            &lt;INPUT type=&quot;submit&quot; onclick=&quot;sendInvitation()&quot; name=&#39;sendInvitationButton&#39; value =&#39;Send Invitation&#39;/&gt;
            &lt;/p&gt;
                
                
    &lt;/form&gt;
    
    &lt;script src=&quot;scripts/file.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;


file.js:

    function sendInvitation(){
      
        var teammateEmail= document.getElementById(&quot;email&quot;).value;



I read many post and a documentation of cross domain but it did not work. 
research source 1:http://enable-cors.org/server.html 
research source 2: http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/CR-cors-20130129/#http-access-control-max-age


What I am doing now: 

I am trying to POST from a different domain of my server :

POST REQUEST :  http://name.github.io/APP-example/file.html , github repository

POST LISTENER : &quot;http://xxx.xxx.x.xx:9000/email , server localhost ( x-&gt; my ip address) 

So, I had the same problem in other files, but I fixed it putting this code in the begginning of each route:

    var express = require(&#39;express&#39;);
    var sha1 = require(&#39;sha1&#39;); 
    
    var router = express.Router(); 
    var sessionOBJ = require(&#39;./session&#39;);
    
    var teams = {} 
    var teamPlayers = []
    
    router.all(&#39;*&#39;, function(req, res, next) {
      res.header(&quot;Access-Control-Allow-Origin&quot;, &quot;*&quot;);
      res.header(&quot;Access-Control-Allow-Headers&quot;, &quot;X-Requested-With&quot;);
      res.header(&quot;Access-Control-Allow-Methods&quot;, &quot;PUT, GET,POST&quot;);
      next();
     });

 and I fixed it doing it.

Now, I am having the same problem, but in this file the only difference is that I deal with SMTP and emails, so I post an email and send an Email to this email I received in the POST request. 

THe code is working totally fine with POSTMAN, so, when I test with POSTMAN it works and I can post. 


I included this code below instead of the first one I showed but it did not work as well:


    router.all(&#39;*&#39;, function(req, res, next){
                res.header(&quot;Access-Control-Allow-Origin&quot;, &quot;*&quot;)
                res.header(&quot;Access-Control-Allow-Methods&quot;, &quot;POST, GET, OPTIONS&quot;)
                res.header(&quot;Access-Control-Allow-Headers&quot;, &quot;Origin, Content-Type, Accept&quot;)
                res.header(&quot;Access-Control-Max-Age&quot;, &quot;1728000&quot;)
                next();
            });


Does someone know how to solve it? 


Thank you.
