Stater Boot

Micro Service Framework for NodeJS - A micro service manager that will help you to create a new service by starting another services.

This framework is supposed to run any services with single command, e.g: run the build processes and then run the server, but these services can access any service's configs, so will be easier to configure the services.

Requirements

NodeJS 7.8+

Installation

npm install -g @stater/boot

Stater Boot will have stater-boot and stb as alias on the CLI.

Usage

To start using Stater Boot, you need to add stater-boot property to your package.json.

Example

{
  "name": "sample-service",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "stater-boot": {
    "main": "service.js",
    "config": "configs/service-config.js"
  }
}

Then you need to create a service as a bootstrap service.

Example

service.js

class SampleService {
  beforeRun = ['sb-bower-list', 'sb-build-script'];
  beforeEnd = ['sb-store-asset', 'sb-init-server', 'sb-start-server'];

  // This function will be called when the service start,
  // after starting the beforeRun services.
  // The beforeEnd services will be started after this
  // function called.
  service(context, configs) {
    let conf = configs.get('sb-server');

    context.logs.info(`Server will be running on port ${conf.port}`);
  }
}

module.exports = SampleService;

The sample above is assume the services already installed, and the created service is to run these services.

Then you can create configs for the required services.

Example service-config.js

module.exports = [
  {
    // Config name is required.
    name: 'sb-server',

    // Your configs is here.
    port: 8080,

    // This function will be called after all configs registered,
    // to allow you reconfigure your config that depends
    // on something else.
    reconfigure(config) {
      if (process.argv.includes('--prod')) {
        config.port = 80;
      }
    }
  },
  {
    name: 'sb-bower-list',
    cwd: 'bower_components'
  }
];

To start the service, run this command:

stater-boot

stb

To start specific services, include the service(s) name after the command. Example:

stater-boot foo bar

stb foo bar

Example using command and options:

stb foo bar -d src -c configs/stb-configs.js --debug --erroff

From the sample above, it run services foo and bar, set the workding directory (-d) to src folder, and set the config file (-c) to configs/stb-configs.js, with debug logging (--debug), and keep the services running even when some error happen (--erroff).

For more usage info, run this command:

stb help

Detailed docs will come soon. Please check the test folder for example.
