node-nailgun-server-fix v1.0.0

node-nailgun-server

A Node.js module and CLI for running Nailgun servers.

This let's you either run Nailgun as a standlone server trough a command line interface or directly through your Node.js applications.

Note that this only provides support for running Nailgun servers. If you are need of a Nailgun client for Node.js, node-nailgun-client is recommended.

Install

npm install node-nailgun-server

Example

By the default the server will listen to all interfaces on port 2113.

var nailgun = require('node-nailgun-server');

var server = nailgun.createServer();
server.out.pipe(process.stdout);

In the following example node-nailgun-client is used to communicate with the server:

var nailgun = require('node-nailgun-server');
var client = require('node-nailgun-client');

var options {
  address: 'localhost',
  port: 0, // 0 lets the server choose a random port
}

nailgun.createServer(options, function(port) {
  var nail = client.exec('ng-stats', { port: port })
  nail.stdout.pipe(process.stdout);
});

The server object returned when creating a server provides a output stream and also a function for shutting the server down:

server.shutdown();

Servers are also shutdown automatically when the Node.js process exits.

CLI

Usage: node-nailgun-server [options]

Options:

  -h, --help               output usage information
  -V, --version            output the version number
  -a, --address [address]  the address at which to listen
  -p, --port [port]        the port on which to listen
