Blunderbuss is a Connect like middleware system for stacking together distributed services. This is accomplished with Substack's DNode project to pass data between services and client. Event emitters pass data between the client facing service API's within Blunderbuss. Easy start and finish functions allow for pre and post logic as well as creating circular service chains for repetitive or additive tasks.
The only requirement is that each dnode server instance has a single function named service
.
On the Server
service, do:
var dnode = require('dnode')
/*
* Define service functions.
* These would usually be distributed
* over processes or machines etc.
*/
function doubleIt(json, cb) {
json.data *= 2
cb(null, json)
}
function dupField(json, cb) {
json.data2 = json.data
cb(null, json)
}
function sumFields(json, cb) {
json.total = json.data2 + json.data
cb(null, json)
}
// Start Service Servers
var server = dnode({
service : doubleIt
})
server.listen(5001)
var server2 = dnode({
service : dupField
})
server2.listen(5002)
var server3 = dnode({
service : sumFields
})
server3.listen(5003)
Though you would usually want to define these services independently in their own processes or machines.
On the Client
, do:
var ss = require("../")()
var services = {
"doubleIt": 5001
, "dupField": 5002
, "sumFields": 5003
}
ss.register(services)
ss.start({"data": 1})
var totalrep = 3
var rep = 0
/*
* Calling ss.start in the finish callback
* and passing in the accumulated data
* sets up a repetition for an assembly line
* style service structure.
*/
ss.finish(function (data) {
rep++
console.log(data)
if (rep === totalrep) {
process.exit(1)
}
ss.start(data)
})
which outputs
{ data: 2, data2: 2, total: 4 }
{ data: 4, data2: 4, total: 8 }
{ data: 8, data2: 8, total: 16 }
