Trivial-Core
Build event-driven apps from templates. Full documentation at trivial-js.org.
Getting Started
Building an example webhook processor app from a template.
const { AppBuilder, AppTemplate } = require('trivial-core')
async function WriteExample() {
const template = new AppTemplate('webhook_relay', '0.1')
const builder = new AppBuilder()
let manifest = await template.initialManifest()
manifest.app_id = 'WebhookRelayDemo'
builder.writeLocally(manifest)
}
WriteExample()
// Expected output
// [AppBuilder] Starting to write 'WebhookRelayDemo'
// [AppBuilder] Building...
// [CodeGenerator] Generating code...
// [CodeGenerator] Done
// [AppBuilder] Done!
// [AppBuilder] Results at ./slugs/WebhookRelayDemo
To run the app:
node slugs/WebhookRelayDemo/serve.js
Your app is now ready to receive POST requests at http://localhost:5000/webhooks/receive
with a JSON body, eg:
{
"name": "Kvothe",
"nickname": "Kingkiller"
}
Running Tests
npm test
// Expected output
//> [email protected] test
//> mocha 'test/**/*.js'
// ...
// 456 passing (784ms)
// 2 pending
General Development
When running trivial-core
it is necessary to build the ActionRegistry
In a local or server environment this is accomplished by entering the containing directory and running npm run build
which includes all necessary logic.
However, when using trivial-core
as dependency in a project or within a container you will need to construct the ActionRegistry
as a part of your build step.
For example, if running your project within Docker you might create a build.js
script to run as a part of your Dockerfile
:
# build.js
const { ActionRegistry } = require('trivial-core')
const actionRegistry = new ActionRegistry()
console.log("Building ActionRegistry...")
try {
actionRegistry.build()
console.log("ActionRegistry built")
} catch (err) {
console.log("Failed to build ActionRegistry")
console.error(err)
}
# package.json
[other package information]
"scripts": {
[your other scripts]
"build": "node build.js"
}
# dockerfile
[other build logic]
RUN npm run build
Local Development
If you're making changes to this package while working on a project that imports this library, you'll want to link your project to the local version. This will let you use the unpublished version, without pushing to npm and re-installing. More info in the NPM Documentation
Note: If the Node versions are not the same for the package and the project you're importing into, npm link
fail silently.
Make a global link to the local package directory:
cd ./trivial-core
nvm use vX.X.X # X.X.X should be match the dependent project's node version
npm link
In your example project, link to the unpublished version:
cd ../sample-project
npm link trivial-core
Install into your example app:
npm install trivial-core --package-lock-only
External Actions
You can supplement the catalog of actions trivial-core ships with.
Using gulp or a similar pre-builder, copy the action files into the package's action directory and build:
const { ActionRegistry } = require('trivial-core')
const actionRegistry = new ActionRegistry()
// Copy the files from your app into the package
function copyActionFiles(){
return gulp.src(`source/lib/actions/**`) // this is the location of the new actions in your project
.pipe(gulp.dest(`${actionRegistry.actionsRoot}/actionsv2/actions`)) // internal action location; unlikely you need to change this
}
// Define a gulp task to call the copyActionFiles function, then rebuild the registry
gulp.task('build', gulp.series(copyActionFiles, actionRegistry.build)
// In the shell, run the gulp task to copy the files to trivial-core and rebuild the action library files.
gulp build
Publishing
Bump the version following the symantic versioning spec. Commit and push. Then:
npm publish
