izymodtask v5.0.2

izymodtask

Node.js modtask component for Izyware.

INSTALLATION

If you are using npm (the Node.js package manager) always ensure that your npm is up-to-date by running:

npm update -g npm

Then use:

npm install izymodtask

USING THE TOOL

This tool provides libraries for traditional modtask izyware apps. You may use the libraries by referencing the node_modules folder.

When integrating izyware modtask style components to native node runtime apps and you need to ldmod on a module, you can:

var mod = require('izymodtask').getRootModule().ldmod('path_to_module');

To see what the module resolution paths are for the context that you are using the code above, you can always use:

require('izymodtask').getRootModule().ldmod('s_root').cmdlineverbs.sysview();

If you need to launch cmdline based verbs from the node app, use the following syntax:

require('izymodtask').runCmd('sysview -- or your verb --')

When the verb is called inside the g_handler module, you can extract the command line config by:

modtask.cmdlineverbs.method = function() {
   var config = modtask.ldmod('izymodtask/index').extractConfigFromCmdLine('method');
	 ...

You can customize the izyware modtask search path by creating the following:

modtask/config/kernel/extstores/file.js

in the root of your node app.

Known Issues

• fix izymodtask so that it does not eval ljs in index.js.

Change Log

• relrequire is now available
  • it will allow doing node style require using relative paths to the current izy module.
  • this will alleviate the paths and search problems that customers have reported in the past
