What is the primary advantage of using connection pooling when interacting with a database?

  • Improved Performance
  • Enhanced Security
  • Simplified Query Language
  • Reduced Data Redundancy
Connection pooling improves performance. It allows reusing established database connections, reducing the overhead of creating and closing connections for every database operation. This results in faster response times and efficient resource usage.

How can specific error handlers be created to respond to different error types in Express.js?

  • Use the try...catch block
  • Define multiple catch blocks
  • Use the app.error() middleware
  • Utilize the next(err) function with custom error classes
In Express.js, specific error handlers for different error types can be created by utilizing the next(err) function with custom error classes. This allows you to define error-handling middleware that can respond to specific error types based on their custom classes. The other options are not typically used for handling specific error types in Express.js.

How can you handle error events emitted by the request object in the http module?

  • request.on('error', (error) => { /* Handle error here */ });
  • request.error((error) => { /* Handle error here */ });
  • request.catch((error) => { /* Handle error here */ });
  • request.onError((error) => { /* Handle error here */ });
To handle error events emitted by the request object in the http module, you can use the request.on('error', (error) => { /* Handle error here */ }); syntax. This allows you to register a callback function to handle errors when they occur during the HTTP request.

Which Express.js function is used to create an instance of a router object?

  • app.route()
  • express.router()
  • express.Router()
  • app.useRouter()
In Express.js, you create an instance of a router object using express.Router(). Routers are used to modularize routes and middleware. The other options do not create router instances in the standard Express.js way.

You are tasked with developing a real-time notification system in Node.js. Which feature of the Events module would be most beneficial in implementing this?

  • event.emitOnce()
  • event.removeAllListeners()
  • event.once()
  • event.removeListener()
In a real-time notification system, you would want to ensure that each notification is only sent once to the respective listeners. The event.once() method allows you to do this as it automatically removes the listener after it's been invoked once, ensuring efficient and clean handling of notifications. The other options are useful for managing listeners but do not guarantee a one-time notification.

You are developing an Express.js application that needs to validate user input on a specific route. How would you implement middleware to efficiently validate input for that route?

  • Use the app.use method to add a middleware function to the specific route that performs input validation.
  • Include the validation logic directly within the route handler function for the specific route.
  • Define a separate middleware function and use app.use to apply it globally for all routes.
  • Implement input validation as a part of the route's URL parameters.
To efficiently validate user input for a specific route in Express.js, you should create a dedicated middleware function using app.use and apply it only to the specific route in question. This approach keeps the route handler clean and separates concerns. The other options are less efficient or incorrect approaches.

The ______ event of the request object in the http module is emitted when the request body is being received.

  • data
  • request
  • body
The data event of the request object in the http module is emitted when the request body is being received. This event allows you to handle incoming data in chunks, which is particularly useful for processing large request bodies without consuming excessive memory.

Which part of the semantic versioning number (e.g. 1.2.3) is incremented for backwards-compatible bug fixes?

  • Major version
  • Minor version
  • Patch version
  • Build version
In SemVer, the 'patch' version is incremented for backwards-compatible bug fixes. This is done to indicate that changes made in this version are intended to address bugs without introducing breaking changes or new features.

Your application allows users to upload and share documents. You need to implement a solution to scan uploaded documents for malicious content. What considerations and strategies would you employ to ensure the security of the uploaded files?

  • Utilize antivirus software to scan files on the server.
  • Implement a content filtering system with regular expression checks.
  • Use machine learning-based content analysis to detect malicious content.
  • Skip content scanning to improve performance.
Employing machine learning-based content analysis is an effective way to detect malicious content in uploaded files. It can adapt and improve over time, providing better security. The other options are less robust and may not adequately protect against malicious uploads.

When destructuring arrays, using the rest operator will result in a new array containing the ______ elements.

  • First
  • Last
  • Middle
  • Remaining
When destructuring arrays using the rest operator, it will result in a new array containing the "Remaining" elements. The rest operator collects the remaining elements of an array into a new array.
