Launching

You can capture an event when a single bundle is completed. You will have access to FuseProcess that will help you to launch your application on server.

fuse.bundle("bundle2")
    .instructions(`~ index.ts`);
    .completed(proc => proc.start())

fuse.run()

Executing a bundle

completed(proc => proc.exec());

The following code will spawn a separate nodejs process once.

completed(proc => proc.exec(["option1", "option2"]));

Optionally you can add command line arguments to your process, which populate the process.argv array for your application.

Start / restart

completed(proc => proc.start());

The following code will spawn a separate nodejs process, if a process is already running FuseBox will kill and spawn a new one.

completed(proc => proc.start(["option1", "option2"]));

Optionally you can add command line arguments to your process, which populate the process.argv array for your application.

Require

completed(proc => proc.require(opts));

The following code will require a file in the same process as the fuse process instead of launching a new one.

The differences are :

  • A bundle is executed in a Promise and its exports are available to the fuse caller : proc.require().then(exports => void).
  • A bundle has access to the same loaded libraries than the fuser, they share the same global object.
  • A bundle is inspected if fuse is inspected: node --debug fuse.js debugs the bundle too.
  • To free the allocated resources when a bundle is restarted, there is no clean process.kill option; it must therefore export a close function, or a default that has such a function.

An express bundle would look as follows:

export default app.listen(process.env.PORT);

Options

  • close(bundleExport)=> Promise: A closing function.

The exports of the main file can be retrieved with bundleExport.FuseBox.import(bundleExport.FuseBox.mainFile)

Closing function

When the module is unloaded, the first of these functions is called :

  • A function close(bundleExport)=> Promise given as an option to require

After, if the bundle has a main file,

  • An export function close(): Promise in the bundle
  • A default export who has a close()=> Promise function.

If the close function returns a promise, this one will be awaited before requiring the new version of the bundle. If it returns anything else than a promise, the value is ignored. The require function by itself returns a promise that resolves to the loaded bundle main-file FuseBox Object.
