Node.js 18核心特性概览

原生ES Modules支持

Node.js 18进一步完善了对ECMAScript Modules（ESM）的原生支持，使得开发者可以更自然地使用现代JavaScript模块系统。

Web Crypto API集成

Node.js 18引入了Web Crypto API，为开发者提供了标准化的加密功能，增强了安全性。

Fetch API内置

Node.js 18内置了Fetch API，简化了HTTP请求的处理，使服务器端和客户端代码更加一致。

V8 JavaScript引擎升级

Node.js 18搭载了V8 10.1引擎，带来了性能提升和新JavaScript特性的支持。

原生ES Modules深度解析

ESM与CommonJS的区别

在Node.js 18中，开发者可以更灵活地选择模块系统。ESM和CommonJS各有优势：

// CommonJS (传统方式)
const express = require('express');
const { readFile } = require('fs');

// ES Modules (现代方式)
import express from 'express';
import { readFile } from 'fs/promises';

ESM在企业级应用中的优势

1. 静态分析：ESM支持静态分析，便于构建工具进行优化
2. 循环依赖处理：ESM更好地处理循环依赖问题
3. Tree Shaking：支持更有效的代码剔除
4. 浏览器兼容性：与前端代码保持一致

实际应用示例

// user.service.js
import { readFile } from 'fs/promises';
import { join } from 'path';

export class UserService {
  async getUserById(id) {
    try {
      const users = JSON.parse(await readFile(join(process.cwd(), 'data', 'users.json'), 'utf8'));
      return users.find(user => user.id === id);
    } catch (error) {
      throw new Error(`Failed to fetch user: ${error.message}`);
    }
  }
}

// app.js
import express from 'express';
import { UserService } from './services/user.service.js';

const app = express();
const userService = new UserService();

app.get('/users/:id', async (req, res) => {
  try {
    const user = await userService.getUserById(req.params.id);
    if (user) {
      res.json(user);
    } else {
      res.status(404).json({ error: 'User not found' });
    }
  } catch (error) {
    res.status(500).json({ error: error.message });
  }
});

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Server running on port 3000');
});

ESM配置最佳实践

在企业级项目中，建议通过package.json明确指定模块类型：

{
  "name": "enterprise-app",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "type": "module",
  "engines": {
    "node": ">=18.0.0"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node app.js",
    "dev": "node --watch app.js"
  }
}

Web Crypto API详解

Web Crypto API概述

Web Crypto API为Node.js提供了标准化的加密功能，包括哈希、签名、加密解密等操作。

哈希计算示例

import { subtle } from 'crypto';

async function hashData(data) {
  const encoder = new TextEncoder();
  const dataBuffer = encoder.encode(data);
  const hashBuffer = await subtle.digest('SHA-256', dataBuffer);
  const hashArray = Array.from(new Uint8Array(hashBuffer));
  return hashArray.map(b => b.toString(16).padStart(2, '0')).join('');
}

// 使用示例
const hashed = await hashData('Hello, World!');
console.log(hashed); // 输出SHA-256哈希值

JWT签名验证

import { subtle } from 'crypto';

class JWTService {
  constructor(secret) {
    this.secret = new TextEncoder().encode(secret);
  }

  async sign(payload, expiresIn = '1h') {
    const header = {
      alg: 'HS256',
      typ: 'JWT'
    };

    const now = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000);
    const exp = now + (expiresIn === '1h' ? 3600 : 0);

    const payloadData = {
      ...payload,
      iat: now,
      exp: exp
    };

    const headerEncoded = this.base64UrlEncode(JSON.stringify(header));
    const payloadEncoded = this.base64UrlEncode(JSON.stringify(payloadData));

    const signature = await this.createSignature(`${headerEncoded}.${payloadEncoded}`);
    const signatureEncoded = this.base64UrlEncode(signature);

    return `${headerEncoded}.${payloadEncoded}.${signatureEncoded}`;
  }

  async verify(token) {
    const [headerEncoded, payloadEncoded, signatureEncoded] = token.split('.');
    
    const signature = this.base64UrlDecode(signatureEncoded);
    const data = `${headerEncoded}.${payloadEncoded}`;
    
    const isValid = await this.verifySignature(data, signature);
    
    if (!isValid) {
      throw new Error('Invalid token signature');
    }

    const payload = JSON.parse(this.base64UrlDecode(payloadEncoded));
    if (payload.exp < Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000)) {
      throw new Error('Token expired');
    }

    return payload;
  }

  async createSignature(data) {
    const key = await subtle.importKey(
      'raw',
      this.secret,
      { name: 'HMAC', hash: 'SHA-256' },
      false,
      ['sign']
    );

    const dataBuffer = new TextEncoder().encode(data);
    const signature = await subtle.sign('HMAC', key, dataBuffer);
    return new Uint8Array(signature);
  }

  async verifySignature(data, signature) {
    const key = await subtle.importKey(
      'raw',
      this.secret,
      { name: 'HMAC', hash: 'SHA-256' },
      false,
      ['verify']
    );

    const dataBuffer = new TextEncoder().encode(data);
    return await subtle.verify('HMAC', key, signature, dataBuffer);
  }

  base64UrlEncode(str) {
    return btoa(String.fromCharCode(...str))
      .replace(/\+/g, '-')
      .replace(/\//g, '_')
      .replace(/=/g, '');
  }

  base64UrlDecode(str) {
    str += '='.repeat((4 - str.length % 4) % 4);
    str = str.replace(/-/g, '+').replace(/_/g, '/');
    return atob(str);
  }
}

// 使用示例
const jwtService = new JWTService('my-secret-key');

try {
  const token = await jwtService.sign({ userId: 123, role: 'admin' });
  console.log('Generated token:', token);

  const payload = await jwtService.verify(token);
  console.log('Verified payload:', payload);
} catch (error) {
  console.error('JWT Error:', error.message);
}

加密解密操作

import { subtle, randomBytes } from 'crypto';

class EncryptionService {
  async generateKey() {
    return await subtle.generateKey(
      {
        name: 'AES-GCM',
        length: 256
      },
      true,
      ['encrypt', 'decrypt']
    );
  }

  async encrypt(data, key) {
    const encoder = new TextEncoder();
    const encodedData = encoder.encode(data);
    
    const iv = randomBytes(12);
    
    const encrypted = await subtle.encrypt(
      {
        name: 'AES-GCM',
        iv: iv
      },
      key,
      encodedData
    );

    return {
      encrypted: new Uint8Array(encrypted),
      iv: iv
    };
  }

  async decrypt(encryptedData, iv, key) {
    const decrypted = await subtle.decrypt(
      {
        name: 'AES-GCM',
        iv: iv
      },
      key,
      encryptedData
    );

    const decoder = new TextDecoder();
    return decoder.decode(decrypted);
  }

  async exportKey(key) {
    const exported = await subtle.exportKey('jwk', key);
    return JSON.stringify(exported);
  }

  async importKey(keyData) {
    const jwk = JSON.parse(keyData);
    return await subtle.importKey(
      'jwk',
      jwk,
      { name: 'AES-GCM' },
      true,
      ['encrypt', 'decrypt']
    );
  }
}

// 使用示例
const encryptionService = new EncryptionService();
const key = await encryptionService.generateKey();

const sensitiveData = 'This is confidential information';
const { encrypted, iv } = await encryptionService.encrypt(sensitiveData, key);

console.log('Encrypted data:', encrypted);

const decrypted = await encryptionService.decrypt(encrypted, iv, key);
console.log('Decrypted data:', decrypted);

Fetch API内置特性

Fetch API基础使用

Node.js 18内置了Fetch API，使得HTTP请求处理更加简洁：

// 发送GET请求
async function fetchUserData(userId) {
  try {
    const response = await fetch(`https://api.example.com/users/${userId}`);
    
    if (!response.ok) {
      throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);
    }
    
    const userData = await response.json();
    return userData;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Fetch error:', error);
    throw error;
  }
}

// 发送POST请求
async function createUser(userData) {
  try {
    const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/users', {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'Authorization': 'Bearer your-token'
      },
      body: JSON.stringify(userData)
    });

    if (!response.ok) {
      throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);
    }

    return await response.json();
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Create user error:', error);
    throw error;
  }
}

企业级API客户端封装

class APIClient {
  constructor(baseURL, options = {}) {
    this.baseURL = baseURL;
    this.defaultHeaders = {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      ...options.headers
    };
    this.timeout = options.timeout || 10000;
  }

  async request(endpoint, options = {}) {
    const url = `${this.baseURL}${endpoint}`;
    const config = {
      headers: { ...this.defaultHeaders, ...options.headers },
      ...options
    };

    // 添加超时控制
    const controller = new AbortController();
    const timeoutId = setTimeout(() => controller.abort(), this.timeout);
    config.signal = controller.signal;

    try {
      const response = await fetch(url, config);
      
      clearTimeout(timeoutId);

      if (!response.ok) {
        throw new APIError(
          `HTTP ${response.status}: ${response.statusText}`,
          response.status,
          await response.text()
        );
      }

      const contentType = response.headers.get('content-type');
      if (contentType && contentType.includes('application/json')) {
        return await response.json();
      }

      return await response.text();
    } catch (error) {
      clearTimeout(timeoutId);
      
      if (error.name === 'AbortError') {
        throw new APIError('Request timeout', 408);
      }
      
      throw error;
    }
  }

  async get(endpoint, options = {}) {
    return this.request(endpoint, { method: 'GET', ...options });
  }

  async post(endpoint, data, options = {}) {
    return this.request(endpoint, {
      method: 'POST',
      body: JSON.stringify(data),
      ...options
    });
  }

  async put(endpoint, data, options = {}) {
    return this.request(endpoint, {
      method: 'PUT',
      body: JSON.stringify(data),
      ...options
    });
  }

  async delete(endpoint, options = {}) {
    return this.request(endpoint, { method: 'DELETE', ...options });
  }
}

class APIError extends Error {
  constructor(message, status, body) {
    super(message);
    this.name = 'APIError';
    this.status = status;
    this.body = body;
  }
}

// 使用示例
const apiClient = new APIClient('https://api.example.com', {
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer your-jwt-token'
  },
  timeout: 15000
});

// 获取用户信息
apiClient.get('/users/123')
  .then(user => console.log('User:', user))
  .catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));

// 创建新用户
apiClient.post('/users', {
  name: 'John Doe',
  email: 'john@example.com'
})
  .then(newUser => console.log('Created user:', newUser))
  .catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));

企业级应用架构设计

  });
});

const server = app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Server running on port 3000');
});

服务层设计

import { readFile, writeFile } from 'fs/promises';
import { join } from 'path';
import { createHash } from 'crypto';

export class UserService {
  constructor() {
    this.dataPath = join(process.cwd(), 'data', 'users.json');
  }

  async createUser(userData) {
    const users = await this.getAllUsers();
    
    // 验证用户数据
    if (!userData.email || !userData.name) {
      throw new Error('Email and name are required');
    }

    // 检查邮箱是否已存在
    const existingUser = users.find(user => user.email === userData.email);
    if (existingUser) {
      throw new Error('User with this email already exists');
    }

    const newUser = {
      id: this.generateId(),
      ...userData,
      createdAt: new Date().toISOString()
    };

    users.push(newUser);
    await this.saveUsers(users);

    return newUser;
  }

  async getUserById(id) {
    const users = await this.getAllUsers();
    return users.find(user => user.id === id);
  }

  async getUserByEmail(email) {
    const users = await this.getAllUsers();
    return users.find(user => user.email === email);
  }

  async getAllUsers() {
    try {
      const data = await readFile(this.dataPath, 'utf8');
      return JSON.parse(data);
    } catch (error) {
      // 如果文件不存在，返回空数组
      return [];
    }
  }

  async saveUsers(users) {
    await writeFile(this.dataPath, JSON.stringify(users, null, 2));
  }

  generateId() {
    return createHash('md5')
      .update(Date.now().toString() + Math.random().toString())
      .digest('hex')
      .substring(0, 16);

  static get NODE_ENV() {
    return process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development';
  }

  static get PORT() {
    return parseInt(process.env.PORT || '3000', 10);
  }

  static get DATABASE_URL() {
    return process.env.DATABASE_URL || 'sqlite://localhost:./data/app.db';
  }

  static get JWT_SECRET() {
    const secret = process.env.JWT_SECRET;
    if (!secret) {
      if (this.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
        throw new Error('JWT_SECRET is required in production');
      }
      return 'development-secret-key';
    }
    return secret;
  }

  static get LOG_LEVEL() {
    return process.env.LOG_LEVEL || 'info';
  }

  static get REDIS_URL() {
    return process.env.REDIS_URL || 'redis://localhost:6379';
  }

  static validate() {
    const required = ['NODE_ENV', 'PORT'];
    if (this.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
      required.push('JWT_SECRET');
    }

import { createWriteStream } from 'fs';
import { join } from 'path';

const logStream = createWriteStream(join(process.cwd(), 'logs', 'app.log'), { flags: 'a' });

export function logger(req, res, next) {
  const start = Date.now();
  
  // 记录请求
  const logData = {
    timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
    method: req.method,
    url: req.url,
    userAgent: req.get('User-Agent'),
    ip: req.ip
  };

  console.log(JSON.stringify(logData));
  logStream.write(JSON.stringify(logData) + '\n');

  // 记录响应
  res.on('finish', () => {
    const duration = Date.now() - start;
    const responseLog = {
      ...logData,
      statusCode: res.statusCode,
      duration: `${duration}ms`
    };

    console.log(JSON.stringify(responseLog));
    logStream.write(JSON.stringify(responseLog) + '\n');
  });

  next();
}

// middleware/error-handler.js
export function errorHandler(err, req, res, next) {
  const errorLog = {
    timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
    error: {
      message: err.message,
      stack: err.stack,
      name: err.name
    },
    request: {
      method: req.method,
      url: req.url,
      headers: req.headers,
      body: req.body
    }
  };

  console.error(JSON.stringify(errorLog, null, 2));

  if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
    res.status(500).json({ error: 'Internal server error' });
  } else {
    res.status(500).json({
      error: err.message,
      stack: err.stack
    });
  }
}

性能优化配置

// config/performance.js
import cluster from 'cluster';
import { cpus } from 'os';

export class PerformanceConfig {
  static get shouldCluster() {
    return process.env.CLUSTER_MODE === 'true';
  }

  static get numWorkers() {
    return parseInt(process.env.NUM_WORKERS || cpus().length.toString(), 10);
  }

  static startCluster() {
    if (!this.shouldCluster || !cluster.isPrimary) {
      return false;
    }

    console.log(`Primary ${process.pid} is running`);

    // Fork workers
    for (let i = 0; i < this.numWorkers; i++) {
      cluster.fork();
    }

    cluster.on('exit', (worker, code, signal) => {
      console.log(`Worker ${worker.process.pid} died`);
      cluster.fork(); // 重启worker
    });

    return true;
  }
}

安全最佳实践

输入验证和清理

// middleware/validation.js
import { body, validationResult } from 'express-validator';

export const userValidationRules = () => {
  return [
    body('email')
      .isEmail()
      .normalizeEmail()
      .withMessage('Valid email is required'),
    body('name')
      .isLength({ min: 2, max: 50 })
      .trim()
      .escape()
      .withMessage('Name must be between 2 and 50 characters'),
    body('password')
      .isLength({ min: 8 })
      .matches(/^(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*\d)/)
      .withMessage('Password must be at least 8 characters and contain uppercase, lowercase, and number')
  ];
};

export const validate = (req, res, next) => {
  const errors = validationResult(req);
  if (!errors.isEmpty()) {
    return res.status(400).json({ errors: errors.array() });
  }
  next();
};

CORS和安全头配置

// middleware/security.js
import helmet from 'helmet';

export function securityHeaders() {
  return helmet({
    contentSecurityPolicy:
