@devly/devly-hosts

Introduction

Hosts plugin for @devly. Assumes env uses apache proxy-server.

For more on hosts file see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_(file).

Installation

To add devly-hosts plugin to your project, first make sure your project is set-up to consume Devly plugins (see https://github.com/aorinevo/devly-example#introduction).

Next, install @devly/devly-hosts:

npm i @devly/devly-hosts

Integration

Use addHostsConfig action creator to update the hosts state in the devly-store. It is recommneded to place the initialState for hosts in a manifests/hosts.js file and requiring that file within the file that dispatches the action.

// mainfests/hosts.js

module.exports = {
  filePath: '/etc/hosts',
  projectPath: '/etc',
  hosts: [
    {
      ip: '127.0.0.1',
      dns: 'some.dns.example1.com'
    },
    {
      ip: '127.0.0.1',
      dns: 'some.dns.example2.com'
    },
    {
      ip: '127.0.0.1',
      dns: 'some.dns.example3.com'
    }
  ]
};

It is recommended that the consumer create a plugins/index.js barrel file for the devly plugins it consumes.

// plugins/index.js

require('./hosts.js');

// plugins/hosts.js
const {store} = require('@devly/devly-store');
const {addHostsConfig, addHostsCommands} = require('@devly/devly-hosts/actions');
const {dispatch} = store;

require('@devly/devly-hosts');

dispatch(addHostsConfig(require('./manifests/hosts')));

dispatch(addHostsCommands());

Technical Details

All devly plugins assume that the consumer has the following directory structure somewhere in their working directory:

 ├── cli.js
 ├── actions
    └── index.js
 ├── reducers
    └── index.js
 └── index.js

Dynamically add reducers to the store using devly's reducerRegistry method.

const {store, reducerRegistry} = require('@devly/devly-store');

reducerRegistry.register('hosts', require('./reducers'));

Actions and reducers are the same actions and reducers from redux. For more information on either, visit

• https://redux.js.org/basics/actions, and
• https://redux.js.org/basics/actions.

cli.js

const store = require('../scripts/reapps/store');
const yargs = require('yargs');
const {addHostsConfig, addHostsCommands} = require('@devly/devly-hosts/actions');
const Hosts = require('@devly/devly-hosts/scripts/hosts');

store.dispatch(addHostsConfig(require('../manifests/hosts')));
store.dispatch(addHostsCommands(yargs, new Hosts(store)));

module.exports = yargs;
