nsq-bundle

Installs a nsq bundle and exposes the following binaries/scripts

• nsqd
• nsqlookupd
• nsqadmin
• kill-port

Usage

Install it globally

$ npm i nsq-bundle -g

Run nsqd

$ nsqd -tcp-address=:5150 -http-address=:5151 -verbose=true
[nsqd] 2015/10/14 16:55:42.106852 nsqd v0.3.6 (built w/go1.5.1)
[nsqd] 2015/10/14 16:55:42.106965 ID: 498
[nsqd] 2015/10/14 16:55:42.107006 NSQ: persisting topic/channel metadata to nsqd.498.d

[nsqd] 2015/10/14 16:55:42.114307 TCP: listening on [::]:5150
[nsqd] 2015/10/14 16:55:42.114514 HTTP: listening on [::]:5151

This module is also useful as a devDependency if you want to run nsqd during tests etc.

$ npm i nsq-bundle -D

Then we can add some scripts to package.json, e.g.

{
  "name": "mymodule",
  "scripts": {
    "pretest": "nsqd -tcp-address=:5150 -http-address=:5151 &",
    "test": "tape test.js",
    "posttest": "kill-port 5150"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "nsq-bundle": "^1.1.0",
    "tape": "^4.2.1"
  }
}

This is a simple setup where the pretest script will fire up nsqd before the tests and the posttest script will kill the nsqd process afterwards.
