Leaving Callback Hell with Promises and ES7 async/await

Cross post from my employer's development blog: http://rootinc.github.io/2016/01/14/callback-hell/

Slides and code from my talk for the Toledo Web Proffessionals on 1/13/2016. It was a quick overview of how Promises in ES6 and async/await in ES7 can allow for much cleaner JavaScript coding.

Quick Deepstream.io Setup Using JSPM

Cross post from my employer's development blog: http://rootinc.github.io/2016/02/12/deepstream-jspm/
Want to use JSPM rather than Bower for running the Deepstream.io example? Follow these steps. This is basically a duplicate of the [Getting Started tutorial][tutorial] on the [Deepstream.io website][website] but using a really simple JSPM setup. This is a very crude guide where I list everything I had to do to get things running.

Create an empty project folder npm install deepstream.io Copy server code verbatim from the Getting Started guide jspm install npm:deepstream.io-client-js Hit enter for all the prompts from JSPM

We’re going to modify the client side code a little bit. We have native support for ES6 compiling with JSPM/Babel so we can import the Deepstream client directly:

import deepstream from 'deepstream.io-client-js'; let ds = deepstream( 'localhost:6020' ).login();

Changing Password Requirements with SailsJS and Passport

Cross post from my employer's development blog: http://rootinc.github.io/2016/03/16/pass-requirements-sails/

If you perform an installation of [Passport][passport] with [SailsJS][sails] using the [Sails Passport Auth Generator][sails-generate-auth] you get several files in your app already configured for you. If you then use passport-local, you will already have a complexity requirement on the password. It defaults to requiring 8 characters minimum, letters, numbers, and symbols.

What if you want to change this requirement? In the generated model file `Passport.js`, you should see a line that says `provider   : { type: 'alphanumericdashed' },` and `password    : { type: 'string', minLength: 6 }`. The minLength is an easy and obvious change. What about the complexity requirement though? This stumped me for a bit. There doesn’t seem to be any mention of these keywords or providers on the Passport official site, nor anything in the [Passport-local repository][passport…
