Modli - Timestamp Plugin

This module provides auto-generation functionality for specificly formatted timestamps based on the CRUD operation assigned.

Installation

npm install modli-plugin-timestamp --save

Usage

This module extends Modli functionality by appending on the configuration to the model object.

import { model, adapter, Joi, use } from 'modli';
import nedb from 'modli-nedb';

// IMPORTANT: Include the timestamp module
import timestamp from 'modli-plugin-timestamp';

// Create a model
model.add({
  name: 'testModel',
  version: 1,
  schema: {
    content: Joi.string(),
    created: Joi.date().format('MM/DD/YYYY'),
    modified: Joi.date().format('MM/DD/YYYY')
  },
  // IMPORTANT: Extends on the model by adding a 'timestamp' object
  timestamp: {
    // The 'created' property will be assigned when 'create' is called
    created: [ 'create' ],
    // The 'modified' property will be assigned when 'create' or 'update' are called
    modified: [ 'create', 'update' ]
  }
});

// Add adapter using NeDB
adapter.add({
  name: 'testNEDB',
  source: nedb,
  config: {
    inMemoryOnly: true
  }
});

const testModli = use('testModel', 'testNEDB');

// IMPORTANT: Apply the plugin to the instance
testModli.plugin(timestamp);

Makefile and Scripts

A Makefile is included for managing build and install tasks. The commands are then referenced in the package.json scripts if that is the preferred task method:

• all (default) will run all build tasks
• start will run the main script
• clean will remove the /node_modules directories
• build will transpile ES2015 code in /src to /build
• test will run all spec files in /test/src
• test-cover will run code coverage on all tests
• lint will lint all files in /src

Testing

Running make test will run the full test suite. Since adapters require a data source if one is not configured the tests will fail. To counter this tests are able to be broken up.

Test Inidividual File

An individual spec can be run by specifying the FILE. This is convenient when working on an individual adapter.

make test FILE=some.spec.js

The FILE is relative to the test/src/ directory.

Deploys

For deploying releases, the deploy TAG={VERSION} can be used where VERSION can be:

<newversion> | major | minor | patch | premajor

Both make {COMMAND} and npm run {COMMAND} work for any of the above commands.
