Server Implementation

Install the package:

npm install rotor-server --save

Implement on the main process of your API:

const RotorServer = require('rotor-server');

Start server

Rotor server wakes up few processes. The first one is the turbine process, which preloads JSON databases. The rest are clusters (except master) which process all device requests updating databases (with turbine process) and replicating changes (with Redis).

Don’t worry about start or stop them. They will alive with your API process. Start it by calling start() method:

const RotorServer = require('rotor-server');
const RS = new RotorServer({
   "server_port": 1508,
   "turbine_port": 1510,
   "redis_port": 6379,
   "databases": ["database"],
   "debug": true
});
RS.start();

start() method will launch Redis server (if it’s dead), Rotor server and Turbine (database manager). For more information about Turbine, check out this link.

databases param defines a list of database names for loading it. If any database doesn’t exist, it will be created.
