Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

What is System Runtime ?

When you code, you do not create an application, you create in fact a system. System Runtime gives you the APIs to create the model, components and behaviors of your system.

What is a system ?

A system:

  • is defined by a model,
  • is composed by components and
  • reacts to events with actions that we call behaviors.

How does System Runtime work?

Create a system

Use System Runtime APIs to create your system:

// create a system
const system = runtime.system('system');

// add some business logic in the start method
system.on('start', () => console.log('Hello world !'));

// run the system
system.start();

Now you can bundle your system into a JSON object:

// create a bundle
runtime.bundle();

It will return this JSON:

{
  "_id": "154cd18d0210516",
  "name": "system",
  "description": "",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "schemas": {},
  "models": {},
  "types": {},
  "behaviors": {
    "1ea9c1d5f811ae1": {
      "_id": "1ea9c1d5f811ae1",
      "component": "154cd18d0210516",
      "state": "start",
      "action": "() => console.log('Hello world !')",
      "useCoreAPI": false,
      "core": false
    }
  },
  "components": {}
}

Install the bundle in HTML

Just add a link tag in your HTML to install and start your bundle:

<!-- install your bundle -->
<link rel="system" type="application/json" href="system.json">

Install the bundle in Node.js

Just call install API to install and start your bundle:

// require System Runtime
const runtime = require('system-runtime');

// install your bundle 
runtime.install('system.json');

How System runtime helps you to create your system ?

Create your system

Creating a system in System Runtime is very simple, you do not have to code but just to define its model in a human readable format called MSON.

With MSON you can define types, classes, one to one / one to many relationships and multi inheritance between classes.

const metamodel = runtime.require('metamodel');

// create the Jedi schema
metamodel.schema('Jedi', {
  'firstName': 'property',
  'lastName': 'property',
  'nickname': 'property',
  'father': 'link',
  'shout': 'method'
});

metamodel.create();

Create your components

Once your model is created, you will be able to get the classes of your model and create components based on your model.

Because you have defined a model for your system, a Dynamic Type Check is done on every action of your system.

// get your component class
const Jedi = runtime.require('Jedi');

// create components
const luke = new Jedi({
  'firstName': 'Luke',
  'lastName': 'Skywalker'
});

const anakin = new Jedi({
  'firstName': 'Anakin',
  'lastName': 'Skywalker'
});

// add a link
luke.father(anakin);

// get the first name of luke father
luke.father().firstName();

Manage your components

All your components are stored in System Runtime NoSQL Database. In fact, System Runtime acts as an ODM (Object-Document Mapper) to manage your components as NoSQL Documents.

You can find, create, update, delete components like you do in a NoSQL Database.

// get a collection
const Jedi = runtime.require('db').collections().Jedi;

// find components
Jedi.find({
  'firstName': 'Luke'
});

// update components
Jedi.update({
  'firstName': 'Anakin'
},{
  'nickname': 'Darth Vader'
});

// remove components
Jedi.remove({
  'firstName': 'Anakin'
});;

What contains System Runtime ?

Image Alt

A metamodel

System Runtime contains a metamodel to help you to design your model. The definition of the model is made on a JSON format called MSON, no code is needed.

With MSON you can define types, classes, one to one / one to many relationships and multi inheritance between classes.

MSON is based on UML, so learning it is very easy.

A component factory

System Runtime uses the Model-Driven Architecture approach to create classes based on your design. Use them to instantiate your components.

A NoSQL Database

System Runtime acts as an ODM (Object-Document Mapper) to manage your components as NoSQL Documents.

System Runtime has a micro NoSQL Database that stores your components and you can export/import them into another System Runtime NoSQL Database.

Thanks to System Runtime NoSQL Database, you can compose your system with an another system.

A workflow engine

System Runtime checks at runtime if the signatures of invoked methods are compliant with your model.

With System Runtime your components really behave the way you designed them.

Build

Installation

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/design-first/system-runtime.git

Once you have cloned the repository, install the dependencies:

npm i

Build

Then build System Runtime:

npm run build

It will:

  • build System Runtime core module for the server library and
  • build System Runtime client library on /dist directory

Development

To start System Runtime in development mode:

npm run dev

All the modifications to the source code of System Runtime will rebuild the project.
