# Sidecar [![CI](https://github.com/jclem/sidecar/workflows/CI/badge.svg?branch=main&event=push)](https://github.com/jclem/sidecar/actions?query=event%3Apush+branch%3Amain+workflow%3ACI)

Sidecar makes it easy to run sidecar processes alongside your main

application. This is especially useful in development when you may want to

spin up a process like `npm run dev` or an [ngrok](https://ngrok.io) proxy.

## Installation

If [available in Hex](https://hex.pm/docs/publish), the package can be installed

by adding `sidecar` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:

```elixir

def deps do

  [

    {:sidecar, "~> 0.5.0"}

  ]

end

```

## Configuration

First, configure your sidecar processes:

```elixir

config :sidecar, processes: [

  ngrok: "ngrok http 4000",

  npm: "npm run dev"

]

```

Then, add the Sidecar supervisor to your application's supervision tree:

```elixir

def start(_type, _args) do

  children = [

    # ...etc.

    Sidecar.Supervisor

  ]

end

```
