Set of helpers designed for a Microservice architecture.

Available helpers:

Service Loader

Start different services (sequentially) with graceful exit handler.

Supported features:

  • Check if TCP hosts are reachable
  • Start Redis cache manager
  • Start MongoDB client
  • Start AMQ publisher/consumer
  • Start postgres database connection using knex (check if it's alive every 30 sec)
  • Start HTTP server (express or http)
  • Gracefully exit all services on exceptions

Full Example:

const serviceLoader = require('petitservice/lib/serviceLoader');
const logger = require('petitservice/lib/logger');

const config = require('./config');

return serviceLoader()
.ping([
  config.apiUrl,
  config.redisUrl,
  config.amqpUrl,
  config.mongoUrl,
])
.cache({ host: 'localhost', port: 6379, auth_pass: 'xxx' })
.mongo(config.mongoUrl)
.amq({
  amqUrl: 'amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672',
  consumerQueue: 'my-consumer-queue',
  assertQueues: ['my-publisher-queue'],
  consumer: (data, ack) => {
    logger.info(data);
    ack(); // acknowledge the message
  },
})
.then(() => {
  logger.info('Do something during starting...');
})
.db({
  pgUrl: config.pgUrl,
  pgDatabase: config.pgDatabase,
})
.express(() => require('./express_app.js'), config.httpPort)
.onExit(() => {
  logger.info('Do something during exit...');
})
.done(() => {
  logger.info('Everything is started!');
});

Available functions chains:

  • ping(urlList, [options]): Check if hostnames are alive
    • urlList (array of url to ping) format: protocol://[user:pass@]hostname:port
    • options.failureMax (optional integer, how many attempts should we try before we exit the process, default: 5)
    • options.frequency (optional integer, how many milliseconds should wait before checking again hostnames, default: 30000)
  • db([options]): Initiate database, checks if database is alive and destroy knex on exit
    • options.pgUrl (optional string, postgres url, default: set in ./lib/db/config.js)
    • options.pgDatabase (optional string, database to query, default: postgres)
    • options.failureMax (optional integer, how many attempts should we try before we exit the process, default: 5)
    • options.frequency (optional integer, how many milliseconds should wait before checking again the database, default: 30000)
  • cache(redisOpts): Start cache for petitservice/lib/cache
    • redisOpts (required object, { host, port, auth_pass })
  • mongo(mongoUrl): Start mongoDb for petitservice/lib/mongo
    • mongoUrl (required string, mongo url)
  • amq(options): Connect to RabbitMQ using amqp.node, and close it when the program exit. options is required.
    • options.amqUrl (required string, amq url)
    • options.assertQueues (optional array, list of queue to create if they haven't been created before. if consumerQueue is set, it will be asserted as well automatically.
    • options.consumerCb(data, ack) (required function): handles a message to consume. It gets as parameter respectively the received data (already JSON parsed) and ack function to run when we want to acknowledge the message.
    • options.consumerQueue (required string): consumer queue name
    • options.consumerPrefetch (optional integer): how many message we consume simultaneously - default: 1
    • options.onError(err, msg) (optional function): error handler when there's an exception on the consumer. Gets as parameter err as error object and msg as raw message. Defaults a warning message.
  • express(expressApp, port): Start express HTTP server, and close it when exit
    • expressApp (required function that returns express app, https://github.com/expressjs/express) - We advice you to use the require inside this function.
    • port (integer, HTTP port. default: 80)
  • then(cb): Run a function during starting
    • cb (function that performs action, can return a promise as well)
  • done([callback]): Add this at the end of the chain to start the service. it can take a callback function as parameter that executes when everything is loaded.
  • onExit(cb): Action to perform when closing Gracefully
    • cb (function that performs action, can return a promise as well)

AMQ publisher/consumer

Connect to RabbitMQ using amqp.node, Asserts queues, and consume messages from a queue.

Example using serviceLoader

const serviceLoader = require('petitservice/lib/serviceLoader');
const amq = require('petitservice/lib/amq');

serviceLoader()
.amq({
  amqUrl: 'amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672',
  consumerQueue: 'my-consumer-queue',
  assertQueues: ['my-publisher-queue'],
  consumer: (data, ack) => {
    logger.info(data);
    ack(); // acknowledge the message
  },
})
.done(() => {
  amq.publish({ myKey: 'myValue' }, 'my-publisher-queue');
});

Example without serviceLoader

const amq = require('petitservice/lib/amq');

// Using serviceLoader
amq.start({
  amqUrl: 'amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672',
  consumerQueue: 'my-consumer-queue',
  assertQueues: ['my-publisher-queue'],
  consumer: (data, ack) => {
    logger.info(data);
    ack(); // acknowledge the message
  },
})
.then(() => {
  // publish a message
  amq.publish({ myKey: 'myValue' }, 'my-publisher-queue');
});

Available methods:

  • start(options): Connect to RabbitMQ and assert publisher/consumer. Documentation on the options is available on serviceLoader
  • publish(payload, queueName, [options]): Publish a payload to a queue.
    • payload: (object) data to publish
    • queueName: (string) where we'd like to publish the data
    • options: (optional object) Publication options (for sendToQueue), default { persistent: false, expiration: 60000 }
  • close(): Close amq connection
  • getChannel(): returns active channel
  • getConnection(): returns active connection

Redis Cache

Cache manager using Redis

Full example

const cache = require('petitservice/lib/cache');
const logger = require('petitservice/lib/logger');

cache.start(config.redisUrl);

const userId = 12;
const getUser = (userId) => models.getUser(userId);

// Get / Set / Delete
const cacheKey = 'bob';
cache.getValue(cacheKey)
.then((cachedValue) => {
  if (!cachedValue) {
    logger.info(`Setting value for ${cacheKey}`);
    return cache.getValue(cacheKey, 'alice', 60);
  }
  logger.info(`I remember ${cachedValue}`);
})
.then((cachedValue) => {
  logger.info(`Bye ${cacheKey}`);
  return cache.delValue(cacheKey);
});

// Wrap a function
cache.wrap(userId, () => models.getUser(userId), 10)
.then((cacheUser) => {
  logger.info(`Bonjour ${cacheUser.firstName}`);
});

// Delayed Execution
const id = 'abc';
const prm = () => {
  return models.insertKeystroke(id, Math.random());
}
cache.delayedExec(id, prm, 10); // <= prm will be discarded after 10 sec
cache.delayedExec(id, prm, 10); // <= prm will be resolved after 10 sec

Available methods:

  • start(redisUrl): Instantiate the cache so that we can call get/set data.
  • getValue(key): Get value by its key
  • setValue(key, value, ttl): Set a value using a key (ttl - Time to live - is in seconds)
  • delValue(key): Delete a value by its key
  • wrap(key, fallbackPromise, ttl, isJSON): Wrap a promise in cache.
    • key: (string) identifier
    • fallbackPromise: (function that returns a promise) How we get the data to read/write
    • ttl: (integer) Time to live in seconds
    • isJSON: (boolean - default:false) encode objects to a JSON before saving into the cache
  • delayedExec(identifier, prm, delayTime): Delay an promise execution of a promise across different microservices. The promise is resolved only if not another delayedExecution has been trigged during the same timeframe (delayTime).
    • identifier: (string) how we identify this execution
    • prm: (function that returns a promise) the promise that we want to execute
    • delayTime: (integer - in seconds) timeframe when there wasn't any delayed execution with the same identifier

MongoDb client

MongoDB helpers

Full example

const mongo = require('petitservice/lib/mongo');
const logger = require('petitservice/lib/logger');

return mongo.start(config.mongoUrl)
  .then(() => {
    const db = mongo.db(config.mongoDbname);
    const collection = db.collection('documents');
    // Insert some documents
    return collection.insertMany([
      {a : 1}, {a : 2}, {a : 3}
    ])
      .then(() => collection.find({}).toArray())
      .then((docs) => logger.info(docs));
  })
  .then(() => mongo.close());

Available methods:

  • start(mongoUrl): Instantiate the mongoDb client
  • db(key): Get database instance
  • close(): Close mongodb client
