Message Schema JavaScript library

Message schema library in JavaScript. This can be used as the canonical way of carrying message data or event data in a platform between services in a distributed architecture. This is especially useful in an event driven architecture setup where events are how services communicate with each other.

Setup

First ensure you have npm installed locally or yarn.

npm install

Or

yarn install

Or you can execute the above with make:

make install

This will install the dependencies defined in the package.json file in a node_modules directory.

That should be it.

In order to build a package, the protobuf generated code needs to be build first. This can be done from the root directory of this project with:

buf generate

Or

make generate

Now, the package can be built with:

make build

Other commands can be viewed with:

make help

Publication

Since publication is to 3 registries, we rely on the CI to handle the publication of this package. Gitlab CI handles publication to Gitlab NPM package registry while Github workflows publishes to both NPM registry and Github NPM Registry.

Note that the secrets and configuration to publish to these registries are available as secrets in the CI environment and are not pushed to a VCS.

There is a blank .npmrc file that is populated by the CI in order to ensure that the package is published to the appropriate NPM package registry
