init

Example

import init from '@mimik/init';

init(config, dbValidate, { postOps: [subscribe] }).then(result => config = result);

init~init(app, rootDir, config, validates, cluster, options) ⇒ object

Init process for a micro-service.

Kind: inner method of init
Returns: object - The updated configuration.

The secOptions has the following structure:

 {
   preOps: [function], // functions to process before starting the micro-service
   postOps: [function], // functions to process after starting the micro-service
   exitOps: [function], // functions to process before exiting the micro-service
   secOptions: { securityDefinition: function }, // extra security options to validate the API request
   extractName: string, // ability to extract data from the req and send it to a logging environment
   metrics: object, // to generate information for `/metrics`
 }

The return object has the following structure:

 {
   config: The configuration object,
 }

For the preOps, postOps and exitOps the function are executed with 3 parameters (correlationId, config, server). The following routes are reserved: /healthcheck and /metrics. The base path is defined by taking the url property of the first item of the servers array in the api definition file. Only relative url address will be handled (e.g. /mss/v1) and templates in the url are not allowed.
