What is base?

The 'base' npm package is a framework for rapidly building high-quality node.js applications, using plugins like building blocks. It's designed to be a foundation on which to build complex applications.

What are base's main functionalities?

Plugin Management

Base allows you to easily manage and use plugins, enabling modular application development. Plugins can add specific functionalities to the base application, which can be initialized and used as needed.

const Base = require('base');
const app = new Base();
app.use(require('some-plugin'));
app.init();

Event Handling

Base provides an event handling system. You can define custom events and handlers, making it easy to manage events within your application.

const Base = require('base');
const app = new Base();
app.on('event', () => console.log('Event triggered!'));
app.emit('event');

Task Execution

Base supports defining and running tasks. This feature allows you to organize code into tasks that can be executed on demand, simplifying complex operations into manageable units.

const Base = require('base');
const app = new Base();
app.task('do something', () => console.log('Task done!'));
app.run('do something');
