Radiatus

Radiatus is a web server for applications written on top of freedom.js, built using node.js, express, and freedom-for-node.

Installation

Install globally on your PATH using the node.js package manager, npm.

$ npm install -g radiatus

Run

Once installed, radiatus can be used to serve any properly declared freedom.js application.

$ radiatus [freedom.js manifest] -d

Develop

See below for more information on how to write freedom.js applications.

Debug

Start up a node-inspector server on a specified port. The following commands allow you to access the developer console at http://127.0.0.1:8000/debug?port=5858

$ npm install -g node-inspector
$ node-inspector --web-port=8000

Then run your Radiatus application in debug mode. The following command will setup the V8 debug port to be 5858 for the web server. Each subsequent process / freedom.js module will open up debug ports on monotonically increasing port numbers from this.

$ node /usr/local/lib/node_modules/radiatus/app.js --debug=5858 [freedom.js manifest] -d

Radiatus will spawn 1 process for the web server and 1 process for each (user, freedom.js module) tuple. For example if 2 users are logged in and your freedom.js application consists of 3 modules, then there will be 7 node.js processes, with debug ports listening on [5858-5864]
