# NodeManager

A package to help manage node connections and communications

## Installation

```elixir

def deps do

  [

    {:node_manager, "~> 0.1"}

  ]

end

```

## Configuration

Configure a DNS entry for each application, and define it here:

```elixir

config :node_manager,

  app_list: %{

    email: "localhost",

    users: "localhost"

  }

```

In development, all nodes will probably be running on localhost. Your production configuration might look something like this:

```elixir

config :node_manager,

  app_list: %{

    email: "email.fourk.io",

    users: "users.fourk.io"

  }

```

When your applications boot, they need to connect to an already-running node, using `NodeManager.connect/0`. It is recommended you add this function in the `start/2` function of your Application module.

## Usage

To send a request to execute a function on another node, use the following function:

```elixir

NodeManager.send_request("ApplicationName", ApplicationName.ModuleName, :function_name, [function, parameters])

```

For example, if we wanted the `users` application to request the `email` application send an email, we should use the following:

```elixir

NodeManager.send_request("email", Email.Mailer, :send, [to, from, subject, body])

```

which would be the same as executing this on the email node

```elixir

Email.Mailer.send(to, from, subject, email)

```
