control-core v0.2.1
Control
A general-purpose automation tool aimed for developers.
Control is a general purpose automation tool based around graphs and nodes (think node-red).
This library aims to bring automation tools to developers to share with their teams, or use personally to automate simple tasks.
It was initally written (for fun and) to perform browser testing using a simple flow-based editor, but it was written to be able to run almost anything.
Core
This is the core package of Control. It provides all necessary features to run graphs (flows), the CLI and a Worker pool to run graphs in parallel.
This is the starting repo for other Control libraries and explains
- how to run graphs
- how to write custom nodes
- how to configure graphs & nodes
This package also provides the basic CLI capable of running graphs and will mainly be used in CI or non TTY environments.
Modules
Lexicon
- Graph: a collection of linked nodes with only one entry node
- Flow: the execution of a graph (think of it as pouring water)
- Node: a single specific step in a graph. It has a type and a configuration
- Standard Node: One of the nodes included in the core library (
script,generic-assertionandgeneric-error); - Branch: A smaller graph in the main graph. Defined by a Node having more than one children Nodes
