GitHub - bugthesystem/consulr: Decode Consul KV data into JSON in Node.js and watch for updates

Decode Consul KV data into JSON in Node.js and watch for updates!

Consul is a tool for service discovery, monitoring and configuration. https://www.consul.io/

Important
⚠️⚠️⚠️ Purpose of this project to give extra capabilities to nodejs applications like dynamic configuration changes without SIGHUP signal or manuel restart. So, different solutions have own benefits; this means there is no claim to use consulr instead of file based configuration solutions like consul-template or environment variables based solutions envconsul.

Install with npm

Install with yarn

Preview

const Consulr = require('consulr');

function main() {
  const c = new Consulr({
    prefix: "foo/",
    quiescencePeriodInMs: 3 * 1000 // 3 sec
  });

  c.on('update', newValue => {
    console.log(`New value : ${JSON.stringify(newValue)}`);
  });
  
  c.on('error', err => {
    console.log(`Error value : ${JSON.stringify(err)}`);
  });
  
  c.run();
}

main();
