base-runner

Orchestrate multiple instances of base at once.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save base-runner

Usage

var runner = require('base-runner');
var Base = require('base');

runner(Base, options, argv, function(err, app, runnerContext) {
  // `err`: error object, if an error occurred
  // `app`: instance of `base` 
  // `runnerContext`: object with `argv`, `env` and `options` properties
});

Params

• Base - (required) base constructor
• options - (required) configuration options
• argv - (required) parsed process.argv object from minimist or whatever argv parser you prefer.

Example

var runner = require('base-runner');
var Base = require('base');
var config = {
  name: 'awesome',
  cwd: process.cwd(),
  runner: require('./package.json'),
  processTitle: 'awesome',
  moduleName: 'awesome',
  extensions: {
    '.js': null
  }
};

runner(Base, options, argv, function(err, app, runnerContext) {
  // `err`: error object, if an error occurred
  // `app`: instance of `base` 
  // `runnerContext`: object with `argv`, `env` and `options` properties
});

API

runner

Create a runner with the given constructor, liftoff config object, argv object and callback function.

Params

• Ctor {Function}: Constructor to use, must inherit base.
• config {Object}: The config object to pass to liftoff.
• argv {Object}: Argv object, optionally pre-parsed.
• cb {Function}: Callback function, which exposes err, app (base application instance) and runnerContext
• returns {Object}

Example

var Base = require('base');
var argv = require('minimist')(process.argv.slice(2));
var config = {
  name: 'foo',
  cwd: process.cwd(),
  extensions: {'.js': null}
};

runner(Base, config, argv, function(err, app, runnerContext) {
  if (err) throw err;
  // do stuff with `app` and `runnerContext`
  process.exit();
});

Events

The following constructor events are emitted:

• preInit
• init
• postInit

preInit

Exposes runnerContext as the only paramter.

Base.on('preInit', function(runnerContext) {
});

init

Exposes runnerContext and app (the application instance) as paramters.

Base.on('init', function(runnerContext, app) {
});

postInit

Exposes runnerContext and app (the application instance) as paramters.

Base.on('postInit', function(runnerContext, app) {
});

finished

Exposes runnerContext and app (the application instance) as paramters.

Base.on('finished', function(runnerContext, app) {
});
