@cloud-technology/parameter

A Zero-Dependency "Type-Interface" via Node.js

While intentionally ambiguous, parameter extends a primitive string. Specifically, the following utility methods are available to the Parameter class:

• Parameter.format()
• Parameter.string()
• Parameter.enumerations()
• Parameter.instantiate()
• Parameter.create()

to follow an opinionated convention to be used in cloud-related

Parameters often used during configuration can be a difficult concept to standardize.

@cloud-technology/parameter aims to strictly define a naming and constructor convention to ease efforts associated with configuration, while allowing for an easy inheritance pattern to further extend from; examples of applicable extensions include usages with:

• etcd
• Hashicorp's vault
• AWS Secure Systems Manager
• AWS Secrets Manager
• Microsoft Cloud Vault
• GCP Credential Management

Development

Recommended - Testing Mode

Locally developing with jest file-watchers helps ensure non-breaking change are introduced.

1. Install Dependencies

   npm install --quiet

2. Build *.ts File(s), Enabling TSC File-Watching

   npm run build

3. Open an Additional TTY and Run

   npm run start

Lastly, continue with development.

For alternative build & unit-testing commands, please refer to the commands list.

Common-JS

const Main = async () => {
    const { Parameter } = await import("@cloud-technology/parameter");

    const instance = new Parameter({
        organization: "IBM",
        environment: "Development",
        application: "Storage-Store",
        service: "Authorization-Service",
        identifier: "Credentials"
    });

    console.log(instance);

    console.log(instance.string());

    console.log(instance.string("Directory"));
    console.log(instance.string("Train-Case"));
    console.log(instance.string("Screaming-Train-Case"));
}

( async () => await Main() )();

Modules
