npac v2.1.11

npac

npac is a lightweight Ports and Adapters Container for applications running on Node.js platform.

This module provides a framework for applications to:

• clearly separate the infrastructure code from business domain code,
• centrally manage configuration (defaults, environment, config file, cli),
• make application life-cycle management (startup, shutdown, signal handling),
• provide built-in, configurable logging and monitoring capabilities.

Read first the documentation to understand how it works.

Study the npac-example-cli example project, which demonstrates how to use npac to implement a simple command line utility.

See the API documentation and the unit tests for further details on how to use this library.
