Building a Server

RoadRunner use service bus model, this allows you to tweak and extend application functionality for each separate project.

Install Golang

To build an application server you need Golang 1.12+ to be installed.

Create main.go

Copy main.go file in the root of your project.

package main

import (
    rr "github.com/spiral/roadrunner/cmd/rr/cmd"
    "github.com/spiral/roadrunner/service/headers"

    // services (plugins)
    "github.com/spiral/roadrunner/service/env"
    "github.com/spiral/roadrunner/service/http"
    "github.com/spiral/roadrunner/service/limit"
    "github.com/spiral/roadrunner/service/rpc"
    "github.com/spiral/roadrunner/service/static"

    // additional commands and debug handlers
    _ "github.com/spiral/roadrunner/cmd/rr/http"
    _ "github.com/spiral/roadrunner/cmd/rr/limit"
)

func main() {
    rr.Container.Register(env.ID, &env.Service{})
    rr.Container.Register(rpc.ID, &rpc.Service{})
    rr.Container.Register(http.ID, &http.Service{})
    rr.Container.Register(headers.ID, &headers.Service{})
    rr.Container.Register(static.ID, &static.Service{})
    rr.Container.Register(limit.ID, &limit.Service{})

    // you can register additional commands using cmd.CLI
    rr.Execute()
}

You can now start your server without building go run main.go serve -v -d.

Use rr.Container.Register to add more services:

rr.Container.Register(custom.ID, &custom.Service{})
