jetstream-microservice/README.md

Jetstream Node Package for easy implementation of Jetstream microservices

# Jetstream microservice

## New in v0.1.6
- Shorten key expiration to 5s
- Add tests for JWT signing

## New in v0.1.1
### Inter-service security added
Security now added to contact other services, use the Jetstream's version of request rather than request itself
```javascript
var jetstream = require('jetstream-microservice');
jetstream.request(options, next);
```

Remove inbound security
```javascript
process.env.IGNORE_JWT_SECURITY = "false";
```

# Getting started
Create a Jetstream service easily

You will need Jetstream core up and running to get this to work correctly.

First install express and jetstream-microservice
```bash
$ npm install --save express
$ npm install --save jetstream-microservice
```

Then create a simple *index.js* file...

```javascript
var express = require('express');

var app = express();

var jetstream = require('jetstream-microservice');

var port = 5099;

var options = {
    name: "test-service",
    location: "http://localhost:" + port
}

jetstream.init(app, options);

var server = app.listen(port);
```

And run...
```bash
$ node index.js
```

# Running tests

Default with summary only:
```
$ npm test
```

To see verbose test output, execute:
```
$ npm run test:detailed
```
