@x/serverless host process and socket framework bundle
@x/serverless for Node.js and the browser in a simple package.
For @x/serverless documentation, visit https://danderson00.gitlab.io/serverless/.
``shell`
yarn add @x/serverless @x/serverless.react sqlite3
`shell`
npx xsl
This starts both the host and the react development server. The following command line options are available:
Option| |Type|Default|Description
---|---|---|---|---
--help|-h|boolean| |Show help
--version| |boolean| |Show version number
--config| |string|"xsl"|Path to JS or JSON config file
--port|-p|integer|3001|TCP port number to listen on
--scope|-s|string| |Property name that can participate in scopes. Multiple can be specified
--sqliteFile|-f|string| |Path to a SQLite database to use
--vocabulary|-v|string|"src/vocabulary"|Path to a file containing vocabulary definitions
--constraints|-c|string|"src/constraints"|Path to a file containing constraint definitions
--types|-t|string|"src/types"|Path to a file containing type declarations
--strictApi| |boolean| |Enforce strict vocabulary API surface
--strictTypes| |boolean| |Enforce explicit message types
--requireSsl| |boolean| |Allows disabling of SSL requirement for production
--auth0Domain| |boolean| |Enable auth0 authentication with the provided domain
--authSecret| |boolean| |Secret to use for signing authentication tokens
--startDevelopmentServer| |boolean| |Start react development server
--watch| |boolean| |Watch for changes to configuration files and reload on change
For alternate ways of starting the host, including using other database providers, see the section below.
For applications bootstrapped with create-react-app, replace the contents of src/index.js with the following:
`jsx
import React from 'react'
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'
import consumer from '@x/serverless'
import { Provider } from '@x/serverless.react'
import App from './App'
consumer().connect()
.then(host => ReactDOM.render(
document.getElementById('root')
))
`
Vocabulary can also be passed in as a prop to the Provider component.
An options object can also be passed to the consumer factory. Options are as follows:
Name|Type|Description
---|---|---
url|string|The websocket URL of the host to connect to
reconnectDelay|number|Time in milliseconds between reconnect attempts. Defaults to 1000ms
log|object|Logging configuration options. level property can be error, warn, debug, trace or none
Any components in your application can now use the
higher order components and
hooks from the
@x/serverless.react library.
The example here uses npx to invoke the @x/serverless command line interface. A number of other options are available for
starting and configuring the host.
The @x/serverless package can be installed globally by executing:
`shell`
npm i -g @x/serverlessor
yarn global add @x/serverless
This makes the CLI available globally throughout your system and can be invoked without npx.
Configuration options can be specified in a Javascript or JSON file. By default, this file is called xsl.js.
The full set of options can be found here.
The host process can be started from any Node.js module.
`javascript
const host = require('@x/serverless')
const vocabulary = require('./vocabulary')
host({
port: 1234,
scopes: ['orderId', 'productId'],
storage: { client: 'sqlite3', connection: { filename: 'data.sqlite' } },
vocabulary
})
`
Any database supported by knex can be used and should be configured accordingly here. An
in-memory instance of the sqlite provider is used by default, but the sqlite3` package must be installed separately.
