Simple Moleculer Starter

Intro

Simple reimplementation of moleculer-runner https://moleculer.services/docs/0.12/moleculer-cli.html.

Primary goal: allowing runner to pass control to other modules of the app after moleculer initialisation.

In order to achieve that we implemented another param --next in the runner, where you can pass a path to your js-module. This module will be resolved (via require), and it's export function will be called with moleculerBroker as a param.

For instance. You can define script start: node node_modules/simple-moleculer-starter --next app. And create the following file app.js:

module.export = (broker) => {
  console.log('broker has been initialized');
}

Differences

Supported params

As it's a simple implementation of the runner, we did not support all possible params of the original cli. But just supported the following:

• --hot / -H,
• --repl / -r,

Services

Services to be started should be provided by SERVICES env var. However we support plain glob patterns for this, relatively services directory of the app.
