|
|
Helpers for concurrency, message-passing, rotating loggers, and other production functionality in Angel3 framework.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will become the de-facto way to run Angel3 applications in deployed environments, as it takes care of inter-isolate communication, respawning dead processes, and other housekeeping for you automatically.
|
|
|
|
Most users will want to use the `Runner` class.
|
|
|
|
## `Runner`
|
|
|
|
`Runner` is a utility, powered by `package:args`, that is intended to be the entry point of your application.
|
|
|
|
Instantiate it as follows, and your file will become a command-line executable that spawns multiple instances of your application:
|
|
|
|
```dart
|
|
import 'dart:async';
|
|
import 'dart:isolate';
|
|
import 'package:angel3_framework/angel3_framework.dart';
|
|
import 'package:angel3_production/angel3_production.dart';
|
|
|
|
void main(List<String> args) => Runner('example', configureServer).run(args);
|
|
|
|
Future configureServer(Angel app) async {
|
|
app.get('/', (req, res) => 'Hello, production world!');
|
|
|
|
app.get('/crash', (req, res) {
|
|
// We'll crash this instance deliberately, but the Runner will auto-respawn for us.
|
|
Timer(const Duration(seconds: 3), Isolate.current.kill);
|
|
return 'Crashing in 3s...';
|
|
});
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`Runner` will automatically re-spawn crashed instances, unless `--no-respawn` is passed. This can prevent your server from entirely going down at the first error, and adds a layer of fault tolerance to your infrastructure.
|
|
|
|
When combined with `systemd`, deploying Angel3 applications on Linux can be very simple.
|
|
|
|
## Message Passing
|
|
|
|
The `Runner` class uses [`belatuk_pub_sub`](<https://pub.dev/packages/belatuk_pub_sub>) to coordinate
|
|
message passing between isolates.
|
|
|
|
When one isolate sends a message, all other isolates will receive the same message, except for the isolate that sent it.
|
|
|
|
It is injected into your application's `Container` as `pub_sub.Client`, so you can use it as follows:
|
|
|
|
```dart
|
|
// Use the injected `pub_sub.Client` to send messages.
|
|
var client = app.container.make<pub_sub.Client>();
|
|
|
|
// We can listen for an event to perform some behavior.
|
|
//
|
|
// Here, we use message passing to synchronize some common state.
|
|
var onGreetingChanged = await client.subscribe('user_upgraded');
|
|
onGreetingChanged
|
|
.cast<User>()
|
|
.listen((user) {
|
|
// Do something...
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Run-time Metadata
|
|
|
|
At run-time, you may want to know information about the currently-running instance, for example, which number instance. For this, the `InstanceInfo` class is injected into each instance:
|
|
|
|
```dart
|
|
var instanceInfo = app.container.make<InstanceInfo>();
|
|
print('This is instance #${instanceInfo.id}');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Command-line Options
|
|
|
|
The `Runner` class supplies options like the following:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
appuser$ dart example/main.dart --help
|
|
