The 51Degrees Pipeline API is a generic web request intelligence and data processing solution with the ability to add a range of 51Degrees and/or custom plug ins (Engines)
This package extends the flow element class created by the fiftyone.pipeline.core pacakge into a specialized type of flow element called an engine. This allows for additional features including:
- An auto-updating data file for properties
- A service called when a requested property
- A caching system and implementation of an LRU (least recently used) cache
Engines created by 51Degrees:
- fiftyone.devicedetection - A device detection engine
- fiftyone.location - A geolocation lookup engine
Make use of this package along with the following additional packages:
- fiftyone.pipeline.engines.fiftyone - Functionality specific to 51Degrees engines.
- fiftyone.pipeline.cloudrequestengine - An engine used to make requests to the 51Degrees cloud service.
npm install fiftyone.pipeline.engines
To run tests you will need to install the jest library.
npm install jest --global
Then, navigate to the module directory and execute:
npm test
- examples/onPremiseFlowElement.js - Demonstrates the creation of an engine that uses an auto-updating datafile to populate properties
- examples/caching.js - Demonstrates a custom cache that makes use of the result caching feature that engines provide.
