Cronicle client

Light Croncile node client with full TypeScript support

Main features

  • Fully typed api client for Cronicle
  • No dependencies (you need to install your own request-promise library)
  • Helper methods to build Timing objects for scheduling events
  • Type safety extendable for Categories, Plugins and Targets

Install

npm install cronicle-client

--NOTICE--
request-promise is a peer dependency and must be installed by you (>=1.0.0)

--NOTICE--
If you want to use the timing utils, you must also install moment

Quick example

import { CronicleClient, NumberedBoolean, BaseCategories, BaseTargets, getFutureUtcTiming, 
 HttpPluginMethods, basePlugins, CronicleError, TargetAlgorithms} from 'cronicle-client';
 
const scheduler = new CronicleClient({
  masterUrl: 'http://localhost:3012',
  apiKey: '<your api key>',
});
 
scheduler.createEvent({
        plugin: basePlugins.urlplug,
        title: 'test event1',
        enabled: NumberedBoolean.TRUE,
        algo: TargetAlgorithms.RANDOM,
        category: BaseCategories.GENERAL,
        target: BaseTargets.GENERAL,
        timing: getFutureUtcTiming('2016-05-26T14:50:50.900Z'),
        timezone: 'Etc/UTC',
        params: {
          method: HttpPluginMethods.POST,
          timeout: '60',
          headers:  'Content-Type: application/json',
          data: JSON.stringify({ a: 1 }),
          url: 'https://requestbin.com',
        },
      })
      .then((data) => {
        console.log(`Created event with id: ${data.id}`);
        return scheduler.runEvent({ id: data.id });
      })
      .then((data) => {
        console.log(`Started event with job id: ${data.ids[0]}`);
      })
      .catch((err: CronicleError) => {
        console.log(`Cronicle error: ${err.code} - ${err.message}`);
      });

Extending with custom types example

import { CronicleClient, IHttpPluginData, IShellPluginData, ITestPluginData, NumberedBoolean,
    getFutureUtcTiming, IPluginNames, CronicleError, TargetAlgorithms } from 'cronicle-client';
 
interface ICustomPluginData {
  duration: string;
  action: string;
}
 
interface Plugins {
  // Default plugins
  urlplug: IHttpPluginData;
  shellplug: IShellPluginData;
  testplug: ITestPluginData;
  // Custom plugins
  mycustomplug: ICustomPluginData;
}
 
enum Categories {
  // Default category
  GENERAL = 'general',
  // Custom categories...
  TEST_CATEGORY = 'cjw6g085901', 
  TEST_CATEGORY2 = 'cjw6l8mnb02',
}
 
enum Targets {
    // Default targets...
    ALL = 'allgrp',
    MAIN = 'maingrp',
    // Custom targets...
    AWS = 'awsgrp',
    GCP = 'gcpgrp',
}
 
const plugins: IPluginNames<Plugins> = {
    urlplug: 'urlplug',
    shellplug: 'shellplug',
    testplug: 'testplug',
    mycustomplug: 'mycustomplug',
};
 
const scheduler = new CronicleClient<Categories, Targets, Plugins>({
  masterUrl: 'http://localhost:3012',
  apiKey: '<your api key>',
});
 
scheduler.createEvent({
        plugin: plugins.mycustomplug,
        title: 'test event1',
        enabled: NumberedBoolean.TRUE,
        algo: TargetAlgorithms.RANDOM,
        category: Categories.TEST_CATEGORY2,
        target: Targets.AWS,
        timing: getFutureUtcTiming('2016-05-26T14:50:50.900Z'),
        timezone: 'Etc/UTC',
        params: {
          duration: '60',
          action: JSON.stringify({ a: 1 }),
        },
      })
      .then((data) => {
        console.log(`Created event with id: ${data.id}`);
        return scheduler.runEvent({ id: data.id });
      })
      .then((data) => {
        console.log(`Started event with job id: ${data.ids[0]}`);
      })
      .catch((err: CronicleError) => {
        console.log(`Cronicle error: ${err.code} - ${err.message}`);
      });

Documentation

Methods

For all api endpoints documentations, please refer to Cronicle api reference

createEvent

When creating an event, there is no unique restriction on the title/id.
While searching for an event using getEvent, the api allows you to search by title/id, which is great, but as of now (cronicle v0.89) it will return a single result.
This imposes an issue when you don't enforce a unique title/id since you will get a random result (see #186)
Until this behaviour is fixed, you can tell the createEvent method to enforce uniqueness and it will fail if an event with the provided title/id already exists.
Note: if id is provided - it will be used as the unique key, otherwise title will be used.

Error handling

Croncile will always return a valid HTTP response (code 200).
To raise an error, the code property of the response will be different than 0.
In such cases, the current method will be rejected with CronicleError with the proper error message and the code property.

Constructor

Options

Parameter Name Description
masterUrl The full url to the master Cronicle server
apiKey The api key to use (make sure it has relevant permissions enabled)

Typings

The client can enforce the proper usage of categories, targets and plugins (with their required parameters).
This is done using optional generics:

Generics Parameter Name Description
Categories Enum containing the ids of the categories available at you Cronicle server (Defaults to BaseCategories)
Targets Enum containing the ids of the targets available at you Cronicle server (Defaults to BaseTargets)
Plugins Interface containing mapping between plugin ids and the interface representing their required event params (Defaults to IBasePlugins)

Examples

Example constructor with defaults:

const scheduler = new CronicleClient({
  masterUrl: 'http://localhost:3012',
  apiKey: '<your api key>',
});

Example for setting the categories your server supports:

enum Categories {
  // Default category
  GENERAL = 'general',
  // Custom categories...
  TEST_CATEGORY = 'cjw6g085901', 
  TEST_CATEGORY2 = 'cjw6l8mnb02',
}

Example for setting the targets your server supports:

enum Targets {
    // Default targets...
    ALL = 'allgrp',
    MAIN = 'maingrp',
    // Custom targets...
    AWS = 'awsgrp',
    GCP = 'gcpgrp',
}

Example for setting the plugins your server supports:

interface ICustomPluginData {
  duration: string;
  action: string;
}
 
interface Plugins {
  // Default plugins
  urlplug: IHttpPluginData;
  shellplug: IShellPluginData;
  testplug: ITestPluginData;
  // Custom plugins
  mycustomplug: ICustomPluginData;
}

Example constructor with overrides:

const scheduler = new CronicleClient<Categories, Targets, Plugins>({
  masterUrl: 'http://localhost:3012',
  apiKey: '<your api key>',
});

Timing utils

To support a wide variety of scheduling, the timing object an be very cumbersome...
To make life easier (at least when you just want to schedule an event for a single future run) you can use the getFutureTiming and getFutureUtcTiming methods:

--NOTICE--
If you want to use the timing utils, you MUST npm install --save moment

Running:

getFutureUtcTiming(moment.utc('2016-05-26T14:50:50.900Z');

Will produce:

{ 
  "years": [ 2016 ],
  "months": [ 5 ],
  "days": [ 26 ],
  "hours": [ 14 ],
  "minutes": [ 50 ]
}

Versions

Cronicle client supports Node 6 LTS and higher.
