Installation

Create your first microservice

This example shows you how to create a small service with an add action which can add two numbers and how to call it.

const { ServiceBroker } = require("moleculer");

// Create a broker
let broker = new ServiceBroker({ logger: console });

// Create a service
broker.createService({
    name: "math",
    actions: {
        add(ctx) {
            return Number(ctx.params.a) + Number(ctx.params.b);
        }
    }
});

// Start broker
broker.start()
    // Call service
    .then(() => broker.call("math.add", { a: 5, b: 3 }))
    .then(res => console.log("5 + 3 =", res))
    .catch(err => console.error(`Error occurred! ${err.message}`));

Try it on Runkit

Create a Moleculer project

Use the Moleculer CLI tool to create a new Moleculer based microservices project.

  1. Install moleculer-cli globally

    $ npm install moleculer-cli -g
  2. Create a new project (named first-demo)

    $ moleculer init project first-demo

    Press Y on API Gateway & npm install

  3. Open project folder

    $ cd first-demo
  4. Start project

    $ npm run dev
  5. Open the http://localhost:3000/ link in your browser. It shows a start page which contains two links to call the greeter service via API gateway.

🎉Congratulations! Your first Moleculer based microservices project is created. Read our documentation to learn more about Moleculer.

Supporting

Moleculer is an open source project. It is free to use for your personal or commercial projects. However, developing it takes up all my free time to make it better and better on a daily basis. If you like Moleculer framework, please support it.

Thank you very much!
