Platform Utils

Get started

Copy .env-example to .env and run tests with npm test.

How to use

Install as a github npm module, and import like so:

// For all initializers to be run...
require('platform-utils/initializers');
const { gcLogger } = require('platform-utils/initializers/logger');

// For a particular initializer without running them all
const joi = require('platform-utils/initializers/joi');

const joiUtils = require('platform-utils/joi');
const mongooseUtils = require('platform-utils/mongoose');
const rosieUtils = require('platform-utils/rosie');

Note that each kind of utility file is a separate sub-directory of the platform-utils package.

How to Maintain

Our systems should always reference the package by a particular release tag so we can manage versions appropriately:

// In package.json dependencies...
"platform-utils": "git://github.com/greenchef/platform-utils.git#1.3.2",

When making changes, recognize that you are changing a package that is used across all of our services. Make a release tag that follows semver standards.

Semver is extremely important, so PLEASE learn it and use it correctly or our services will break.

Expected ENV VARS in platforms that use this package:

LOG_LEVEL
LOGGER_NAME

MONGODB_URI
MONGODB_NAME
MONGODB_OPTIONS
OR
MONGO_URI

# Optional
ARENA_PASSWORD # If your application uses Bull Arena

What the heck's the GC Logger anyways??
