@shipengine/connect-local-dev-api v2.2.1

ShipEngine Connect Local Dev API

⚠ WARNING: This is an internal package

Using this package directly is discouraged and unsupported. Instead, you should install @shipengine/connect which uses this package under the hood. See our documentation for more information.

This package makes ShipEngine Connect apps callable via an API. It can be used as a standalone tool, or via the ShipEngine Connect CLI.

Usage

$ npm install @shipengine/connect-local-dev-api

"use strict";

const server = require("@shipengine/connect-local-dev-api")
  .default;

const pathToApp = process.argv[2];
const port = process.argv[3];

server(port, pathToApp);

Development

The development server will start on localhost:3000 by default. It automatically detects file changes with nodemon, and transpiles TypeScript on the fly using ts-node.

Note: Make sure to edit nodemon.json so that the exec command points to the absolute path of the Connect App on your system.

$ npm run start:dev

Testing

Test are written in TypeScript, and use ts-node to handle transpiling.

$ npm test
