How to use

First you need to setup a core.json config file at process.cwd() path.

This file must have this structure :

{
  "config" : "YOUR_CONFIG_PATH_HERE",
  "env" : {
    "development" : {
      "logger" : {
        "rotate" : {
          "path" : "YOUR_LOG_PATH_HERE",
          "name" : "YOUR_LOG_FILE_NAME_HERE"
        }
      }
    },
    "staging" : {
      "logger" : {
        "rotate" : {
          "path" : "YOUR_LOG_PATH_HERE",
          "name" : "YOUR_LOG_FILE_NAME_HERE"
        }
      }
    }, 
    "production" : {
      "logger" : {
        "rotate" : {
          "path" : "YOUR_LOG_PATH_HERE",
          "name" : "YOUR_LOG_FILE_NAME_HERE"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

And start your app like example below :

var logger    = require('yocto-core-stack');
var core      = require('yocto-core-stack');

// set debug to true if needed
core.debug = true;

// Init your app first
core.init().then(function () {
  // Init succeed start your app
  core.start().then(function () {

  /********************************************
   *              YOUR CODE HERE              *
   *******************************************/

  }).catch(function (error) {
    // error process
  })
}).catch(function (error) {
  // error process
});

How to add external middleware on current app

It's simple juste use an utility method for that :

// your middleware
var YOUR_MIDDLEWARE = function(){} ...
// add it
core.useOnApp(YOUR_MIDDLEWARE);

You can also use our yeoman generator to generate an app automatically.
