Hapi-starter-kit

A starter kit for Dixeed's projects using HapiJs server.

---

Disclaimer

This project is made to be used in Dixeed's projects thus its configuration may not suit every needs.

Requirements

• Nodejs >= 6.11.4
• Sequelize 3, not 4 (hapi-sequelize is currently stuck with Sequelize 3)
• Store all your database models under 'lib/../model.js' or 'lib/../models/*.js'

Usage

const StarterKit = require('@dixeed/hapi-starter-kit');
const loadFixtures = require('./fixtures');

const starterKit = new StarterKit();

// We initialize the server with some options.
starterKit.init({
  server: {
    host: 'localhost',          // Hapi server host
    port: 8890,                 // Hapi server port
  },
  database: {
    name: 'mainDb'              // Database instance name within Hapi. /!\ Different from the actual database name
    syncForce: true,            // Whether to reload the models each time the server restarts.
    modelPaths: [               // An array of path from where to load the Sequelize Models.
      'lib/**/model.js',        // Default to ['lib/**/model.js', 'lib/**/models/*.js']
      'lib/**/models/*.js'
    ],
    credentials: {
      dbName: 'myproject_db'    // Database name
      user: 'root',             // User that will access the database
      pass: 'password',         // Password of the database user
      dialect: 'postgres',      // Which database engine you're using (mysql, postgres, sqlite, ...)
      host: 'localhost',        // The host of the database
      port: '5432',             // The port on which run your database
    },
  },
  good: {}                      // Config object for the Good plugin (logs)
});

// Register your plugins when starting the server.
starterKit.start([
  require('./lib/company'),
  require('./lib/user'),
  require('./lib/setting'),
  // ...
], loadFixtures).then(() => {
  // Do your thing !
});

// As init() returns an instance of itself, we can chain the calls:
starterKit.init(config)
  .start(plugins, loadFixtures)
  .then(() => {
    // ...
  });

For the Database config, please report to the Sequelize 3 documentation as this package is using Sequelize as well as Hapi-Sequelize.

The StarterKit object

Properties

• starterKit.config: The loaded configuration.
• starterKit.server: The Hapi server instanciated by the call to init().
• starterKit.sequelize: The Sequelize instance instanciated by the call to init().
• starterKit.initialized: A boolean specifying whether the object was initialized (i.e init() was called).

Methods

• init(config): returns an instance of the starterKit.
• start(plugins, loadFixtures): returns a Promise resolved after the plugins registration, the model loading and optionaly the fixtures loading.

Documentation for .start()

The start function is used to:

• register Hapi plugins
• load the models
• and load the fixtures if an appropriate method is provided

Signature of the method:

starterKit.start(plugins: Array<pluginDefinition>, loadFixtures: AsyncFunc): Promise

The documentation on Hapi plugin definition can be found on the Hapi website.

Contributing

This project uses semantic-release to automatically handle semver bumps based on the commits messages.

To simplify commits messages redaction you can use npm run cm instead of git commit. To use that command make sure to git add your changes before.

This repo is configured to forbid commit messages that do not follow the Angular conventional changelog commit message format.
