In this tutorial we’ll see how to download and install Node.js and NPM (Node Package Manager) on a Windows system. If you are using popular JS frameworks like Angular, React then also it is required that you should have Node.js installed on your system. Node.js is a popular run time environment for executing JavaScript applications. Var EventLogger = require ( 'node-windows' ). Making your logs visible from the Event Viewer. New as of v0.1.0 is a non-C++ based event logging utility. It is possible to write to this log from the Node.js script using A second log, named after your service name (i.e. When the entire service starts/stops or has errors.

Services created with node-windows have two event logs that can be viewed through the Windows Event Viewer.Ī log source named myappname.exe provides basic logging for the executable file.

Uninstalling a service will remove these files. Same directory where the Node.js script is saved. Node-windows is installed globally, per the recommended installation instructions.Īll of these daemon-specific files are created in a subdirectory called daemon, which is created in the

exe file not being able to find the Node.js script. Since this file is a part of node-windows, moving the node-windows directory could result in The myappname.exe file launches the node-windows wrapper, which is responsible for monitoring and managing Winsw will create some logs for itself in this directory (which are viewable in the Event log). The XML file is a configuration for the executable. A directory called daemon is created and populated exeįor each Node.js script deployed as a service. Node-windows uses the winsw utility to create a unique. Both of theseĬonfiguration options can be set, just like wait or grow.įinally, an attribute called abortOnError can be set to true if you want your script to not restartĪt all when it exits with an error. Node-windows will cease restart attempts after the 3rd cycle in a 60 second window. For example, if this is set to 3 (the default) and the process crashes/restarts repeatedly, Another option is maxRestarts, which caps the number of restarts attempted Setting it to 3 would tell the process to no longer restart a processĪfter it has failed 3 times. Using maxRetries will cap the maximum number of restart attempts. Repetitive recycling could potentially go on forever with a bad script. Would be 3 seconds later while the fourth would be 4.5 seconds later. In this example, the wait period will start at 2 seconds and increase by 50%. Service // Create a new service object var svc = new Service ( ) Var Service = require ( 'node-windows' ). Windows services, creating one requires administrative privileges. Node-windows has a utility to run Node.js scripts as Windows services. Needed to run more complex tasks is packaged and distributed in a readily usable format. There are some binary/exe utilities, but everything Node-windows does not use native modules. This means developers need to have Visual Studio (and potentially other software) installed on the system, Instead, these modules rely on npm to build the project, utilizing node-gyp. Most native modules are not distributed in a binary format. Using native node modules on Windows can suck. More details regarding why this is not the recommended approach are available throughout this Readme. However it is possible to use node-windows without the global flag (i.e. The recommended way to install node-windows is with npm, using the global flag:

This is not a tool for developing applications, it is a tool for releasing them. This library can be used to install/start/stop/uninstall Node scripts as Windows background services for production environments.
