For use with Trbo editor + JS task runner

Trbo is an editor + client-side js task runner that runs in the browser.

TrboSS (Trbo Server-Side) lets you run server-side js straight from the Trbo editor.

Install

cd into your project root.

$ npm install trboss

Run

cd down to node_modules/trboss

$ node trboss.js

You should see

Running trboSS

This has fired up trboSS and it's now listening for commands from Trbo.

Control from the Trbo editor

Use the trboss() function to send commands to trboSS. trboss() takes an object with Do: ['array', 'of', 'commands']

For example:

- trboss({Do: ['thing1', 'thing2']});

The above example will tell trboss to Do thing1 and thing2

Configuring trboss.js with tasks

Within the trboss.js file you can add tasks for trboss to perform.

A task taskes the following format:

orchestrator.add('thing1', function(){
  console.log("doing thing 1");
});

trboSS uses Orchestrator to execute it's tasks, so you can look there for more detail.

There are three example tasks already loaded:

orchestrator.add('thing1', function(){
  console.log("doing thing 1");
});
orchestrator.add('thing2', function(){
  console.log("doing thing 2")
});
orchestrator.add('thing3', function(){
  console.log("doing thing 3 - yay")
});

So when you run - trboss({Do: ['thing1', 'thing2']}); from the Trbo editor, this will run thing1 and thing2 and console log "doing thing 1" and "doing thing 2".
