The API Toolkit Library is a comprehensive collection of tools designed by Hiro to simplify common
tasks in API development. This library provides functionalities for database management, application
shutdown handlers, migration helpers, server version management, etc. It aims to streamline the
development process and improve code quality by offering convenient and reusable modules.

## Installation

You can start by installing the API Toolkit Library using npm:

```
npm install @hirosystems/api-toolkit
```

You should also customize the following ENV variables that control how log messages are displayed:

```env
APPLICATION_NAME=your-api-name
LOG_LEVEL=info
```

## Featured tools

Please see each tool's source directory for additional documentation

### Postgres

* Superclass for connection support and SQL transaction management using
[postgres.js](https://github.com/porsager/postgres)
* Connection helpers with automatic retry logic, using the standard postgres ENV variables
* Migration tools for migration apply and rollback using
[node-pg-migrate](https://github.com/salsita/node-pg-migrate)
* Type definitions and conversion helpers for postgres to node type management and viceversa

### Shutdown handlers

* `.cpuprofile` files for CPU usage analysis
* `.heapsnapshot` files for memory usage analysis

### Logger

* Standardized logger configuration using [pino](https://github.com/pinojs/pino)

### Server versioning

* `api-toolkit-git-info` executable tool to generate API versioning information based on Git branch,
tag, and latest commit
* Helpers to extract version info to display at runtime or on documentation

### Fastify

* API server creation with CORS, Typebox and Pino logging
* OpenAPI generator plugin with YAML and JSON exports

### Helpers

* Value conversion functions (hex strings, hashes, etc.)
* Timer tools (stopwatch, waiters, etc.)
