1. Create a project

We will use runnerty-cli to create our first project.

  1. Let's create the project, execute this command in your terminal.
npx runnerty-cli new my-first-runnerty-project
note

if desired, we can also install runnerty-cli

npm i -g runnerty-cli

The following contents will be created in your current directory.

└── my-first-runnerty-project/
├── config.json
├── plan.json
└── package.json
  1. Run npm start.

🎉🎉 Congratulations, you have just made your first Runnerty project!

You can know connect to Runnerty Platform.

This workflow executes an echo command every minute leaving the response in a log file. The terminal where we run the project is also notified of the beginning and end of the chain.

Details of the example project

package.json

We find this dependencies:

{
"dependencies": {
"@runnerty/executor-shell": "^2.0.0",
"@runnerty/notifier-console": "^1.0.0",
"@runnerty/trigger-schedule": "2.0.0"
}
}
note

You can find more plugins available here.

config.json

We find this:

{
"triggers": [
{
"id": "schedule_default",
"type": "@runnerty-trigger-schedule"
}
],
"executors": [
{
"id": "shell_default",
"type": "@runnerty-executor-shell"
}
],
"notifiers": [
{
"id": "console_default",
"type": "@runnerty-notifier-console"
}
]
}

Three sections to include triggers, executors, and notifiers. Each plugin is assigned an identifier (id), type, which identifies the plugin and its configuration.

Example of a plugin with configuration
{
"executors": [
{
"id": "mysql_default",
"type": "@runnerty-executor-mysql",
"user": "mysqlusr",
"password": "mysqlpass",
"database": "MYDB",
"host": "myhost.com",
"port": "3306"
}
]
}

This is the hierarchy of a plan
chains
├── chain
└── processes
├── process
└── ...
├── chain
└── processes
├── process
└── ...
└── ...

For this case, we have a single chain with a single process:

chains
└── CHAIN_ONE
└── processes
└── PROCESS_ONE
note

It is likely that if you do a real project with Runnerty you will need to split the plan into several documents. This is possible by making a document for each chain and indicating in chains/chain_path the document path of the chain.

{
"chains": [
{ "chain_path": "chains/chain_sample.json" },
//...
]
}

note

In the examples shown here, a couple of functions (@GV and @GETDATE) from Runnerty's interpreter are used. Learn more about the available functions here.
