@frenchpastries/bakery NPM

Bakery

Bakery is a service registry, built with MilleFeuille, to handle a lot of services in a micro-services architecture. It is made as an NPM module to let everyone use it into its own stack.

Because it is thought to integrate with the French Pastries stack, and handle pastries, which makes it a perfect Bakery!

Getting Started

Getting started with Bakery is simple and easy.

# For Yarn users
yarn add @frenchpastries/bakery

# For NPM users
npm install --save @frenchpastries/bakery

Once you got the package locally, fire your text editor, open an src/main.js file, and start the server.

const Bakery = require('@frenchpastries/bakery')

const HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL = parseInt(process.env.HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL, 10)
const HEARTBEAT_TIMEOUT = parseInt(process.env.HEARTBEAT_TIMEOUT, 10)

const closeBakery = Bakery.create({
  heartbeatInterval: HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL,
  heartbeatTimeout: HEARTBEAT_TIMEOUT,
  port: 8080, // This field is optional, and defaults to 8080.
})

process.on('SIGINT', () => {
  closeBakery()
})

Run node src/main.js, and try to reach localhost:8080. You should see the bakery output the list of services registered. Right now, nothing is registered, but that’s the correct behavior! As you can see, the bakery only expect three options: heartbeatInterval, heartbeatTimeout, and port. The two first ones are concerns for the heartbeat. We’ll explore more on this later. The last one indicates on which port the server should open. It is optional and defaults to 8080 (just like MilleFeuille!).

How does it works?
