> Orchestrate multiple instances of base at once.
## Install
Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):
```sh
$ npm install --save base-runner
```
## Usage
```js
var runner = require('base-runner');
var Base = require('base');
runner(Base, options, argv, function(err, app, runnerContext) {
// `err`: error object, if an error occurred
// `app`: instance of `base`
// `runnerContext`: object with `argv`, `env` and `options` properties
});
```
**Params**
* `Base` - (required) [base](https://github.com/node-base/base) constructor
* `options` - (required) configuration options
* `argv` - (required) parsed `process.argv` object from [minimist](https://github.com/substack/minimist) or whatever argv parser you prefer.
### Example
```js
var runner = require('base-runner');
var Base = require('base');
var config = {
name: 'awesome',
cwd: process.cwd(),
runner: require('./package.json'),
processTitle: 'awesome',
moduleName: 'awesome',
extensions: {
'.js': null
}
};
runner(Base, options, argv, function(err, app, runnerContext) {
// `err`: error object, if an error occurred
// `app`: instance of `base`
// `runnerContext`: object with `argv`, `env` and `options` properties
});
```
## API
### [runner](index.js#L40)
Create a `runner` with the given `constructor`, [liftoff](https://github.com/js-cli/js-liftoff) `config` object, `argv` object and `callback` function.
**Params**
* `Ctor` **{Function}**: Constructor to use, must inherit [base](https://github.com/node-base/base).
* `config` **{Object}**: The config object to pass to [liftoff](https://github.com/js-cli/js-liftoff).
* `argv` **{Object}**: Argv object, optionally pre-parsed.
* `cb` **{Function}**: Callback function, which exposes `err`, `app` (base application instance) and `runnerContext`
* `returns` **{Object}**
**Example**
```js
var Base = require('base');
var argv = require('minimist')(process.argv.slice(2));
var config = {
name: 'foo',
cwd: process.cwd(),
extensions: {'.js': null}
};
runner(Base, config, argv, function(err, app, runnerContext) {
if (err) throw err;
// do stuff with `app` and `runnerContext`
process.exit();
});
```
## Events
The following constructor events are emitted:
* [preInit](#preInit)
* [init](#init)
* [postInit](#postInit)
### preInit
Exposes `runnerContext` as the only paramter.
```js
Base.on('preInit', function(runnerContext) {
});
```
### init
Exposes `runnerContext` and `app` (the application instance) as paramters.
```js
Base.on('init', function(runnerContext, app) {
});
```
### postInit
Exposes `runnerContext` and `app` (the application instance) as paramters.
```js
Base.on('postInit', function(runnerContext, app) {
});
```
### finished
Exposes `runnerContext` and `app` (the application instance) as paramters.
```js
Base.on('finished', function(runnerContext, app) {
});
```
