Unidecode for JavaScript (NodeJS)

Unidecode is JavaScript port of the perl module Text::Unicode. It takes UTF-8 data and tries to represent it in US-ASCII characters (i.e., the universally displayable characters between 0x00 and 0x7F). The representation is almost always an attempt at transliteration -- i.e., conveying, in Roman letters, the pronunciation expressed by the text in some other writing system.

See Text::Unicode for the original README file, including methodology and limitations.

Note that all the files named 'x??.php' in data are derived directly from the equivalent perl file, and both sets of files are distributed under the perl license, and not the BSD license.

Installation

$ npm install unidecode

Usage

$ node
    > var unidecode = require('unidecode');
> unidecode("aéà)àçé");
'aea)ace'
> unidecode("に間違いがないか、再度確認してください。再読み込みしてください。");

[MacOS] Nginx Homebrew Formula for tcp_proxy support

Since we have to wait until Nginx 1.3 for websocket support I updated the official nginx homebrew formula (a pull request to the homebrew repository is on its way) to support the tcp_proxy module.

brew install "https://raw.github.com/FGRibreau/homebrew-formulas/master/nginx.rb" --with-tcpproxy

Happy coding !

NodeJS process management at Brin.gr

I saw today a question on StackOverflow about "Running and managing nodejs applications on a single server" and thought it would be a good idea to share how we deal with NodeJS applications at brin.gr.

  • First we use supervisord to manage & automatically restart applications. The configuration file for each application looks like this:




  • Finally, for remote control and application monitoring, we've setup Monit. Each application has a monit configuration file like the following:


Note: before this current workflow we were using forever/forever webui but forever remained quite unstable so we decided to switch to supervisord/monit and since this migration everything's fine.
