Initializing

npm add @instantlycreative/pulse

Importing in browser

import { PulseClient } from '@instantlycreative/pulse'

const client = new PulseClient()

Importing in node

import { PulseClient } from '@instantlycreative/pulse'
import crossFetch from 'cross-fetch'
import WebSocket from 'ws'

const client = new PulseClient({
  fetch: crossFetch,
  ws: WebSocket,
})

Usage

Before running any command, you must login:

const { token } = await client.login({ email: 'user@example.com', password: 'mypasswd' })
if (token) {
  fs.writeFileSync('~/.pulse.token', token)
}

Alternatively, you can just pass a saved token.

const token = fs.readFileSync('~/.pulse.token', 'utf8')
await client.login({ token })

  balloon?: string
  autoPause?: boolean

}): Promise<{
  success: boolean;
  accessToken?: string;
  error?: string
}>

export interface File {
  source?: string // path on disk
  content?: string | Buffer
  mode?: number // like 0o755
}

Use accessToken to stream the output using client.stream().

Notes on build and exec options:

buildOptions is only used for the docker runtime.
execOptions is used for all runtimes.

const { accessToken } = await client.update({
  pulseId,
  execPath: '/script.js',
  files: {
    '/script.js': 'console.log("Hello, world!")',
  },
  execOptions: '--max-old-space-size=4096', // node param to set memory to 4GB
})

This is will result in executing "node --max-old-space-size=4096 /script.js".

const { accessToken } = await client.update({
  pulseId,
  execPath: '/script.js',
  files: {
    '/script.js': 'console.log("Hello, world!")',
  },
  buildOptions: '--build-arg=HELLO=WORLD --build-arg=ANOTHER=ARG', // docker build arg
})

This is will result in adding "--build-arg=HELLO=WORLD" and "--build-arg=ANOTHER=ARG" params to the "docker build" command.

Notes on files:

files is an object where the key is the path and the value is the content. The path must start with a slash, but the resulting file will be created in the app directory, which is /run/app.
zipFile is a zip file that will be extracted to the app directory (/run/app).
initFile is a script that will be executed before the user script.
envFile is a .env file that will be used to set environment variables.
stdinFile is a file that will be used as stdin for the app.

When any file is a string, it will be treated as utf-8 encoded content:

const { accessToken } = await client.update({
  pulseId,
  execPath: '/script.js',
  files: {
    '/script.js': 'console.log("Hello, world!")',
  },
})

When any file is a buffer, it will be treated as binary content:

import fs from 'fs'

const { accessToken } = await client.update({
  pulseId,
  execPath: '/script.js',
  zipFile: fs.readFileSync('/some/path/to/local/script.zip'), // returns Buffer
})

Otherwise, you can use the File interface:

Note:

"source" is the path to the file on disk.
"content" is the content of the file.
"mode" is the file mode.
"source" and "content" are mutually exclusive.

const { accessToken } = await client.update({
  pulseId,
  execPath: '/script.js',
  files: {
    '/script.js': {
      source: '/some/path/to/local/script.js',
      mode: 0o755,
    },
    '/other/script.js': {
      content: 'console.log("Hello, world!")',
      mode: 0o644,
    },
    '/another/script.js': {
      content: Buffer.from('console.log("Hello, world!")'),
      mode: 0o644,
    },
  },
})

Optional initFile is a bash script that will be executed before the user script:

const { accessToken } = await client.update({
  pulseId,
  execPath: '/script.js',
  zipFile: fs.readFileSync('/some/path/to/local/script.zip'),
  initFile: `#!/bin/bash
echo "Hello, world!"
echo "Goodbye, world!"
`,
})

Optional envFile is a .env file that will be used to set environment variables:

const { accessToken } = await client.update({
  pulseId,
  execPath: '/script.js',
  zipFile: fs.readFileSync('/some/path/to/local/script.zip'),
  envFile: `VAR1="value 1"
VAR2="value 2"
ANOTHER_VAR="another value"
# ... you get the idea
`,
})

Optional stdinFile is a file that will be used as stdin for the app:

const { accessToken } = await client.update({
  pulseId,
  execPath: '/script.js',
  zipFile: fs.readFileSync('/some/path/to/local/script.zip'),
  stdinFile: fs.readFileSync('/some/path/to/local/stdin.txt'),
})

If the app reads STDIN, it will read from that file.

  source: string // "manager", "controller", "vm", "agent", "app"
  message: string
  stack?: string
}

export interface Finished {
  pulseId: string

An example:

await manager.stream({
  accessToken,
  onOutput: (data) => {
    process.stdout.write(data.output.data)
  },
  onProblem: (data) => {
    console.error(data.error.message)
  },
  onFinish: (data) => {
    console.log('--------------------')
    console.log(`Exit code: ${data.code}`)
    if (data.stats) {
      console.log(`Time: ${stats.time}ms`)

      console.log(`Memory total: ${(stats.memTotal / 1024).toFixed(2)}MB`)
      console.log(`Memory free: ${(stats.memFree / 1024).toFixed(2)}MB`)
      console.log(`Memory available: ${(stats.memAvailable / 1024).toFixed(2)}MB`)
      console.log(`VSZ: ${stats.vsz}`)
      console.log(`RSS: ${stats.rss}`)
      console.log(`User: ${stats.user.toFixed(2)}%`)
      console.log(`System: ${stats.system.toFixed(2)}%`)
