Microverse Quickstart

Here we are going to walkthrough a basic Node.js application.

First, we need to add some common dependencies.

• @microverse-network/core/node is a preset configuration setting the transports available in the Node.js runtime.

• @microverse-network/core/plugins-standard sets the standard plugins in the configuration object.

• @microverse-network/core/module is the entry point for the quickstart application.

Let's create the executable script.

bin/quickstart.js

require('@microverse-network/core/node')
require('@microverse-network/core/plugins-standard')

const Module = require('@microverse-network/core/module')
global.module = new Module({ id: 'quickstart' })

This script will instantiate a new instance of the Module class with a given id. Every instance having this same id will be able to communicate each other by finding each others address on the tracker.

This quickstart is just showing the essential requirements. You can look at database module for a more advanced implementation.
