machine

machine

This module is a runtime for machines; i.e. any function which conforms to the open standard outlined here.

Most machine consumers won't interact with this module directly-- rather, you'll want to require a machinepack from NPM like so:

var Github = require('machinepack-github');

Then use one of its machines:

Github.getRepo({
  user: 'balderdashy',
  repo: 'sails'
})
.exec({
  success: function (repo){ /*...*/ },
  error: function (err){ /*...*/ },
  invalidApiKey: function (err){ /*...*/ }
});

For more information on using machines, an up-to-date list of all available machinepacks, and standardized documentation for each one, visit http://node-machine.org.

For implementors

If you're implementing a machinepack, you'll need to use this module to .pack() your machines. See http://node-machine.org/spec/machinepack for more information.

Advanced Use

If you're implementing a one-off machine (i.e. just to take advantage of the caching or type-checking this module provides), you may need lower-level access to the methods herein.

See DIRECT_USAGE.md for information on how to use all the lower-level features of this module.
