RuntimeGuard

An environment validator for Node.js applications - serving as a "pre-loader" of sorts - to ensure that environment variables are configured, dependencies are installed, and utility versions are satisfied.

RuntimeGuard is a faithful fork and continuation of Eos, a runtime pre-loader created by Dannington for application dependency compliance.

How do I install RuntimeGuard into my project?

1. Clone the RuntimeGuard repository into your project and rename src/ to runtimeguard/.

2. Create a rg.conf.js (or another name) file in your project's root directory (an example rg.conf.js is included in this repository for reference and documentation).

3. Run npm install or yarn install in runtimeguard/.

4. Create an entrypoint file (using any name; e.g. index.js/bootstrapper.js/whatever.js) and add the following content to it:

process.rg_conf_path = __dirname + "/rg.conf.js"; // Replace rg.conf.js with the name of your RuntimeGuard configuration file

require("./runtimeguard").runtime(); // Start RuntimeGuard

5. Change package.json to point your main file entry to the RuntimeGuard entrypoint.
