Roadmap

Current versions

• xyz-core
• xyz-cli
• xyz.ping.swim.bootstrap
• xyz.monitor.basic.bootstrap
• xyz.send.round.robin
• xyz.ping.stochastic.bootstrap
• xyz.iron.man.bootstrap
• xyz.rsmq.single.bootstrap

Version 0.1.0

• each foreign microservice should now be a string. overall, no IP port indication has remained in the object format, except for the ip, port keys in systemConf. This requires an update in seed nodes of the doc.

• xyzportis no longer valid and all configurations will follow the same pattern of --xyz[foo.bar]. This requires an update in the doc

• importing modules accept both a name and a require()-ed module instance.

• The term node as replaced microservice inside the code.

• xyz bootstrap functions are entirely new

  • requires a new page

• xyz events are entirely new (although they're really nothing special)

  • requires a new page

• ping variables are no longer required as config, hence no longer stored in Constants. Ping is now implemented as a bootstrap function.

• send strategy can now be set per-call using a new parameter.

  • DEPRECATED. refer to v 0.2.0 change logs

• the xyz-core module now contains an object containing

  • logger
  • XYZ core constructor
  • CONFIG
  • Util
  • LogUtil (sparse)

• xyz module will now only return the xyz class. hence, xyz object is injected into each middleware and each bootstrap function

• xyz dependencies :

  • send to all
  • ping bootstrapper this also means a new key named defalutBootstrap is added to selfConf

Version 0.2.0

-  Call interface has been changed to options object [MAJOR UPDATE]
-  new `--xyz-cli.enable` and `--xyz.cli.stdio` keys in selfConf
-  service middlewares now take fewer arguments

Version 0.4.0

• new key in transportLayer.call() will indicate the route.

• new key in transportLayer.call() will indicate the redirect.

• the xyz.middleware() has changed.

• resp.send() is no longer valid. the resp in .register() is now a pure node ServerResponse object. a new key named resp.jsonify() is added and recommended.

• the process of adding middlewares has changed

• port key in selfConf is replaced with transport: []

• allowJoin and /join are deprecated. seed node is there

• --xys- instead of --xyz- is a backdoor

• All middlewares will now use a similar param object.

• xyzPayload added to all messages: https://github.com/node-xyz/xyz-core/issues/46

• unique routes are checked: https://github.com/node-xyz/xyz-core/issues/48

• removeRoute / removeServer methods added: https://github.com/node-xyz/xyz-core/issues/44

Version 0.5.0

• Switch to typescript.
• Improve and revise path handling. Must include https://github.com/node-xyz/xyz-core/issues/45 ~ AKA. a PublishSubscribe Plugin

Version 0.6.0

• [ ]
• https://github.com/node-xyz/xyz-core/issues/43
• TCP Transport layer (Debatable. TCP does not make that much sense for messaging. perhaps another cool protocol more appropriate?) https://github.com/node-xyz/xyz-core/issues/31

Version 0.7.0

• Protobuf Plugin

Version 0.8.0

• Support lower versions of node. Requires a build tool: https://github.com/node-xyz/xyz-core/issues/28

Version 0.9.0

Version 1.0.0

Debatable Ideas for V1:

• Promise-Based API for .call() instead of callback (very likely to happen)
• Test suite scaffolding with xyz-cli
