Adding Node Libraries
If you need a Node library that isn’t already included in the generated REST API, this can be done as follows.
In the domain class that has an event handler which requires the new library, add a tagged value called either node dependency or node dependencies:
CodeBot will then add a require statement at the top of the VideoReviewApi.js module. The dependency will also be added to package.json along with any dependencies specified in other domain classes.
The format in the tagged value is simply:
package-name package-version- i.e. separate the name and version with a space; or:package-name- if the version isn’t specified, “latest” will be used
If you need to add more than one dependency, separate them with commas.
If the same Node module is specified in several domain classes, be careful that they all use the same version. CodeBot will eliminate duplicates (same name + version), but if it encounters “clashing” versions, it will halt code generation with an error.
