Packed with real-world problems and examples, this book introduces some of the basic concepts of hapi.js and Node.js and takes you through the typical journey you'll face when developing an application. Starting with easier concepts such as routing requests, building APIs serving JSON, using templates to build websites and applications, and connecting databases, we then move on to more complex problems such as authentication, model validation, caching, and techniques for structuring your codebase to scale gracefully. You will also develop skills to ensure your application's reliability through testing, code coverage, and logging.By the end of this book, you'll be equipped with all the skills you need to build your first fully featured application. This book will be invaluable if you are investigating Node.js frameworks or planning on using hapi.js in your next project.What you will learnIncrease your productivity by taking advantage of the out-of-the-box features hapi.js providesBuild secure API serversCreate websites and applications using your favorite templating languageLeverage hapi.js plugins to better structure your codebaseSimplify your security workflows with the built-in authentication and authorization functionality of hapi.jsEnsure application reliability with testing and code coverageReduce code complexity using reusable validation logic with joiGather insight into your application performance via loggingStart the journey to building robust production-ready applicationsAbout the AuthorJohn Brett is a software engineer passionate about new technologies, open source, and building useful software while travelling the world. Starting out in Ireland with a degree in Computer Science and Software Engineer, he went on to join IBM through their premier internship Extreme Blue, later working on collaboration software as part of IBM's Software Group. There, John mainly worked with PHP and JavaScript, only working with Node.js in his spare time.Later in his career, John moved to a growing SAAS company called D4H Technologies. As a lead engineer there, he developed tools to aid emergency response teams globally, all from a lighthouse in Dublin, Ireland. Here, John got more exposure to Node.js, leading D4H's first venture into Node using hapi.js, later joining the hapi.js core teamTable of ContentsIntroducing hapi.jsAdding Functionality by Routing RequestsStructuring Your Codebase with PluginsAdding Tests and the Importance of 100% Code CoverageSecuring Applications with Authentication and AuthorizationThe joi of Reusable ValidationMaking Your Application Production Ready
