Video: Building a Node.js Runtime for the Browser
The video discusses how Nodebox, a Node.js compatible runtime for the browser, was built. Nodebox includes a virtual file system and HTTP server that simulate Node.js behavior. The file system is managed by a main process and synchronized across web workers. Nodebox allows reading and writing files using the fs.read() function. HTTP support is managed through iframes and service workers, mimicking server behavior. WebSocket support is provided through a mock WebSocket object. Nodebox can run small Node.js projects, including frameworks like Next.js, Vite, React, and Vue, directly in the browser. You can try Nodebox at NodeBox.Codesandbox.io and find templates for various environments.
