Getting Started
To install:
npm i -g @sextant-tools/frontend
To run:
sextant ./target-directory
This opens the Sextant GUI, ready for you to start creating flows and services.
Sextant will generate type files in this directory, so choose carefully!
Using the types
Sextant generates two main types currently:
SextantEvent
/**
* This gets the type of any event passed from "fromThisEnvironment"
* to "toThisEnvironment"
*/
const event: SextantEvent<
"serviceName",
"fromThisEnvironment",
"toThisEnvironment"
>;
/**
* This gets the type of a specific event passed from
* "fromThisEnvironment" to "toThisEnvironment"
*/
const specificEvent: SextantEvent<
"serviceName",
"fromThisEnvironment",
"toThisEnvironment",
"SPECIFIC_EVENT_TYPE"
>;
SextantHandler
/**
* This type describes a function which handles events from
* "fromThisEnvironment" to "toThisEnvironment"
*/
const handler: SextantHandler<
"serviceName",
"fromThisEnvironment",
"toThisEnvironment"
> = () => {};
