@distributive/overwatch-config-lib
Advanced tools
A library that helps the overwatch microservices read and standardize reading config files.
This project aids in reading the overwatch config for each microservice i a reliable and consistent way.
This project was bootstrapped by create-neon.
Installing overwatch-config-lib requires a supported version of Node and Rust.
You can install the project with npm. In the project directory, run:
$ npm install
This fully installs the project, including installing any dependencies and running the build.
If you have already installed the project and only want to run the build, run:
$ npm run build
This command uses the cargo-cp-artifact utility to run the Rust build and copy the built library into ./index.node
.
After building overwatch-config-lib, you can explore its exports at the Node REPL:
$ npm install
$ node
> require('.').hello()
"hello node"
In the project directory, you can run:
npm install
Installs the project, including running npm run build
.
npm build
Builds the Node addon (index.node
) from source.
Additional cargo build
arguments may be passed to npm build
and npm build-*
commands. For example, to enable a cargo feature:
npm run build -- --feature=beetle
npm build-debug
Alias for npm build
.
npm build-release
Same as npm build
but, builds the module with the release
profile. Release builds will compile slower, but run faster.
