Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/lynks-p2p/lynks-broker.git
cd lynks-broker
Install yarn:
npm install -g yarn
Install dependencies:
yarn
Start server:
# Start server
yarn start
# Selectively set DEBUG env var to get logs
DEBUG=lynks-broker:* yarn start
Refer debug to know how to selectively turn on logs.
Tests:
# Run tests written in ES6 along with code coverage
yarn test
# Run tests on file change
yarn test:watch
# Run tests enforcing code coverage (configured via .istanbul.yml)
yarn test:check-coverage
Lint:
# Lint code with ESLint
yarn lint
# Run lint on any file change
yarn lint:watch
Other gulp tasks:
# Wipe out dist and coverage directory
gulp clean
# Default task: Wipes out dist and coverage directory. Compiles using babel.
gulp
# compile to ES5
1. yarn build
# upload dist/ to your server
2. scp -rp dist/ user@dest:/path
# install production dependencies only
3. yarn --production
# Use any process manager to start your services
4. pm2 start dist/index.js
In production you need to make sure your server is always up so you should ideally use any of the process manager recommended here. We recommend pm2 as it has several useful features like it can be configured to auto-start your services if system is rebooted.
Universal logging library winston is used for logging. It has support for multiple transports. A transport is essentially a storage device for your logs. Each instance of a winston logger can have multiple transports configured at different levels. For example, one may want error logs to be stored in a persistent remote location (like a database), but all logs output to the console or a local file. We just log to the console for simplicity, you can configure more transports as per your requirement.
Logs detailed info about each api request to console during development.
Logs stacktrace of error to console along with other details. You should ideally store all error messages persistently.

yarn test
also generates HTML code coverage report in coverage/
directory. Open lcov-report/index.html
to view it.
