# serve-micro-cluster
Easily start a local cluster of [`micro`](https://github.com/zeit/micro)-based services using a simple `rules.json` file. It's like *Path Alias* on [now](https://zeit.co/now), but for local development.

### Installation

Install `serve-micro-cluster` globally.

```
npm install -g serve-micro-cluster

// or

yarn global add serve-micro-cluster
```

### Usage

Define a `rules.json` file. If your file has a name other than `rules`, use the `-f` flag to let `serve-micro-cluster` know. This comes in handy if you're keeping multiple versions of your `rules` available in the same directory (development, production.)

```
{
"rules": [
{
"pathname": "/accounts",
"dest": "./services/accounts/index.js"
},
...
]
}
```

You can also define `port` and `env` variables:

```
{
"rules": [
{
...
"port": 4000,
"env": {
"SECRET_KEY": "supersecret"
}
}
}
```

Once your rules are defined, you can start your microservices and proxy server using `serve-micro-cluster`.

```
"scripts": {
"start": "serve-micro-cluster"
}
```

The following options are available:

- `-h`, `--host` (default `localhost`)
- `-p`, `--port` (default `3000`)
- `-f`, `--file` (default `rules.json`)

### Example
See [serve-micro-cluster/example](https://github.com/tylersnyder/serve-micro-cluster/tree/master/example).

### Alternatives
- [dev-gateway](https://github.com/dimapaloskin/dev-gateway) Local development cluster with "now" path aliases syntax support. Allows running multiple microservices as one solid server.
- [micro-cluster](https://github.com/zeit/micro-cluster) - Run multiple micro servers and a front proxy at a time
