Common-services NPM

common-services

A module to gather very common services.

This module contains various common injectable services that are often used into a wide range of applications.

The services provided here are meant to have a very tiny surface API in order to be easily mocked but also implemented with different technologies.

For example, the counter service could be implemented with a distributed architecture, the codeGenerator though a database...

The services are designed to be used with Knifecycle a simple but feature complete dependency injection tool but can also be used by hand.
