Build Status

A node sdk for building services capable of injecting chaos into PaaS offerings. ⚙️ 🌩

hero image

Platform chaos is a collection of tools and sdks that enable engineers to experiement on distributed systems built atop PaaS offerings to ensure confidence in such a system's capabilities. It does so by defining a common interface for inducing chaos, through a construct we call chaos extensions. Given this common interface, we're able to provide tooling that can schedule, start, and stop chaotic events.

This project is the core sdk that enables chaos extension development using NodeJS.

The common interface mentioned above that all chaos extensions must implement is defined using OpenAPI docs here. As such, an extension can be developed using any language. SDKs to simplify creation of extensions using other languages may be added in the future.

How to use

To consume this sdk, install it from NPM:

npm install platform-chaos

Then consume the module in code, leveraging the following API.

API

This is the exported API from the platform-chaos NPM module.

validators

Request validation helpers. Useful to ensure data coming in is behaving as expecting.

const validate = require('azure-chaos-fn/validators')

accessToken

Validates that the body of a req object contains a valid accessToken.

try { require('azure-chaos-fn/validators').accessToken(req) } catch (ex) { console.error(`error: ${ex}`) }

resources

Validates that the body of a req object contains a valid resources array.

try { require('azure-chaos-fn/validators').resources(req) } catch (ex) { console.error(`error: ${ex}`) }

parsers

Note: these depend on the validators to ensure only valid data is parsed.

Request parser helpers. Useful to parse valid request data into models.

const parsers = require('azure-chaos-fn/parsers')

accessTokenToCredentials

Inflates the accessToken from a req objects body into a ms-rest-azure compatible credentials object.

const credentials = require('azure-chaos-fn/parsers').accessTokenToCredentials(req)

resourcesToObjects

Inflates the resources from a req objects body into a collection of objects containing the following properties:

  • subscriptionId - the azure subscription id to target
  • resourceGroupName - the azure resource group name to target
  • resourceName - the azure resource name to target
const objs = require('azure-chaos-fn/parsers').resourcesToObjects(req)

Legal

Most contributions require you to agree to a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) declaring that you have the right to, and actually do, grant us the rights to use your contribution. For details, visit https://cla.microsoft.com.

When you submit a pull request, a CLA-bot will automatically determine whether you need to provide a CLA and decorate the PR appropriately (e.g., label, comment). Simply follow the instructions provided by the bot. You will only need to do this once across all repos using our CLA.

Submitting Pull Requests

When you're ready, you can submit pull requests here!

We've defined a pull request template that should be filled out when you're submitting a pull request. You'll see it when you create your PR. Please fill it out to the best of your ability!

Further, your pull request should:

  • Include a description of what your change intends to do
  • Be a child commit of a reasonably recent commit in the master branch
    • Requests need not be a single commit, but should be a linear sequence of commits (i.e. no merge commits in your PR)
  • It is desirable, but not necessary, for the tests to pass at each commit
  • Have clear commit messages
    • e.g. "Refactor feature", "Fix issue", "Add tests for issue"
  • Include adequate tests
    • At least one test should fail in the absence of your non-test code changes. If your PR does not match this criteria, please specify why
    • Tests should include reasonable permutations of the target fix/change
    • Include baseline changes with your change

Note that once you've submitted a pull request you may need to sign a CLA - see the legal section for more information.
