Who is the ActionHero?
ActionHero is a multi-transport API Server with integrated cluster capabilities and delayed tasks. The goal of actionhero is to create an easy-to-use toolkit for making reusable & scalable APIs for HTTP, WebSockets, and more. Clients connected to an actionhero server can consume the api, consume static content, and communicate with each other. ActionHero is cluster-ready, with built in support for background tasks, 0-downtime deploys, and more. ActionHero provides a simple Async/Await API for managing every type of connection and background task.
Currently actionhero supports the following out of the box...
- Web Clients: HTTP, HTTPS
- Web Socket Clients: HTTP, HTTPS
... and you can also make your own servers and transports.
Quick Start
# Generate a new Project
npx actionhero generate
npm install
npm run build # <--- new! I compile the TS to JS
npm run dev # <--- new! I use `ts-node` to let you develop on your ts files without compiling
# Use the actionhero CLI
(npx) actionhero generate action --name my_action
(npx) actionhero generate task --name my_task --queue default --frequency 0
# Test
npm test
# I'll run `prettier` and `build` for you first
# I handle .ts files now!
# To deploy your app
npm run build # <--- new! I compile the TS to JS
