CMBF Core Module

This module is the foundation of the framework. It imports all dependencies (including Hapi) and provide tools to quickly setup a mobile-backend, ready to be extended with the various CMBF plugins out there.

Starting your Mobile Backend in a few minutes

> npm install cmbf-core --save

You create an index.js file in your project and configure any loading hooks you need.

var cmbf = require('cmbf-core');

// All hooks handlers are processed using Promise.method from Bluebird. Returning a value or a promise is supported.
cmbf.registerHook('configure-server', function(cfg) {
    // Add fields to the server config
    return cfg;
});

// All hooks are optional
cmbf.registerHook('register-early-plugins'); // Register any system wide plugin that must be made available before any others. Default load hapi-config
cmbf.registerHook('register-connections'); // Default to two connections: admin, api
cmbf.registerHook('configure-connections'); // Receive an array of connection configurations (api and admin)
cmbf.registerHook('configure-security');    // Register any auth strategy
cmbf.registerHook('configure-documentation');   // Produce the Swagger doc options
cmbf.registerHook('register-plugins');  // Register all required plugins in sequence
cmbf.registerHook('register-late-plugins');  // Register any final plugins
cmbf.registerHook('before-server-start');
cmbf.registerHook('server-started');

// Launch the server
cmbf.launch()
.then(function(){
    cmbf.log.info("Server was successfully started!");
})
.catch(function(err){
    cmbf.log.error("Unable to launch CMBF server", err);
});
