node.js

Finally scratched an itch and created a Node.js Integration module last night.

The code is pre-alpha, and will eat your lunch and kill your kittens - please do not use the code unless you are a developer looking to help beat this in to shape.

Feedback and co-maintainers welcome!

You might wanna check out Nodepal - A Drupal integration layer for Node.js developers

This is a module that allows the integration of a Drupal installation with a custom Node.js app. It provides an API so that Node.js developers can directly read and write in Drupal's repository, using constracts like node, user, permission, etc., with having to worry about the underlying implementation and setup of the Drupal installation.

Use Cases:

Are you using node.js and Drupal together? If not, do you have ideas for Drupal/node.js integration?

Once you put a Drupal app behind layers of external cache, the idea of "most popular" or "most viewed" becomes hard to compute. Boost's excellent boost_stats.php callback tries solves this in some situations by doing a partial bootstrap to access the DB and increment node_counter. But there are at least two potential complications to boost_stats.php with external cache.

Just wanted to brainstorm regarding a table wizard/mongodb possible integration
We've entered the mobile scene pretty strong and we're thinking of having something lighter then drupal services on the server side (Drupal performs a full drupal bootstrap for each service call).
This might be ok in a low traffic application but could never suite a mmorpg or a facebook application.
My idea is to use node.js as the server and mongodb as the storage and then export the mongodb data to drupal.
