This module is a work in progress. It is intended to simultaneously do these things:
- expose start, complete, and error events for all major plugin interfaces
- enable clustering with each node cluster potentially able to use a different persistence layer
- enable authentication to take advantage of storage clustering
It's also exploring ways to simplify the storage plugin interface and generally exploring how verdaccio plugins work.
The main entry point for the plugin should be complete, but can't really be tested without at least having stubs that are a little more complete for lib/events/index.js and lib/persistence/index.js.
lib/auth.js exports a stub authentication plugin function that throws a "Not Implemented" error
lib/middleware.js exports a middleware plugin function that emits various events related to each request
that comes in. This should allow the code in lib/locks/index.js to listen and establish appropriate locks
for the request. This seems to be reasonably implemented for now.
lib/storage.js exports an object conforming to the storage plugin interface that is used by the plugin constructor in index.js. This looks like it could be complete, but it needs at least one events plugin and at least one persistence plugin completed to test it.
Testing has not been fully set up yet - the plan is to use tape. We do have a simple package in test/verdaccio-clustering-test-pkg that is simple for testing the various npm server endpoints.
