..:: Source code - fs-sync.js ::..

/*
This example shows synchronous execution, blocking code.
console.log(contents); blocks process and that's why
console.log('Do something else!'); must wait

Max file that didn't crash nodeJS had 350MB
 */

//load modules
var fs = require('fs');

//synchronous file reading
var content = fs.readFileSync('./testfiles/largefile350mb.txt', 'utf8');
console.log(content);

//here process is blocked while file is not read completely. After that next console.log(); continue

console.log('Do something else!');

/*
Conclusion: Due to asynchronous execution, first is file dumped then appear 'Do something else'.
That's because console.log('Do something else!'); waits fs.readFileSync('largefile350mb.txt', 'utf8'); to be finished.
